Canning has been out since last summer with a back injury. He said he’s expecting to be ready when he’s eligible to come off the injured list on June 6.
Jaime Barria, who was a candidate for a rotation spot before starting the season in the bullpen, picked up the victory on Sunday with two scoreless innings, lowering his ERA to 1.98 through his first 13-2/3 innings.
When asked if Barria could be in line for a more significant role in the bullpen, Maddon said he’s inclined to keep Barria as the long reliever. “I like what he’s doing right now,” Maddon said. “He’s fulfilled his role as good as anybody right now.”Outfielder Taylor Ward, who has been one of the hottest hitters in the majors, was not in the lineup on Monday because he felt some tightness in his right hamstring when running the bases in the bottom of the ninth inning on Sunday.“Just a little tightness,” Ward said. “I’ve learned at this point you don’t want to play with anything. I just think it’s better to tell and I did.
Infielder David Fletcher traveled to Philadelphia to see a specialist about his hip injury on Monday, but there was no report yet on how the examination went. Fletcher might have surgery. … Maddon said he expected outfielder Juan Lagares to spend three weeks to a month playing in the minors before he would be ready to join the major league team. Lagares, who had been with the Angels last season, was out of a job this winter before signing a minor league deal with the Angels on Sunday.
