Quijada felt some discomfort when he woke up on Friday and was placed on the injured list. The MRI showed a damaged ligament, but the Angels aren’t committing to surgery yet.
ST. LOUIS — Jose Quijada got a discouraging diagnosis on his sore elbow, leading the Angels to concern that the left-hander might be lost for the season.
Quijada briefly emerged as one of the Angels’ ninth-inning options in April, but he struggled for a couple of outings, including one last week in which he threw an 89 mph fastball. His average is 94-95 mph. Tepera, who threw two perfect innings at Class-A Inland Empire during a rehab assignment, said he used the time off to work on his mechanics. He watched videos from how he pitched two years ago, trying to correct the issues that led to him struggling for the first couple of weeks of this season before he was hurt.
General Manager Perry Minasian said the Angels can’t afford to lose any more bodies, particularly after the losses of Quijada and Warren. Silseth had only been a starter, but he has pitched three scoreless innings out of the bullpen so far, including working the seventh inning with a three-run lead on Sunday.
