Angels 1B Walsh goes on IL with thoracic outlet syndrome
ST. PETERSBURG, Fla. (AP) — Los Angeles Angels first baseman Jared Walsh has been put on the 60-day injured list due to thoracic outlet syndrome on his left side. Walsh has struggled this season offensively, hitting .215 with 15 homers and 44 RBIs in 118 games. Angels head athletic trainer Mike Frostad said before Los Angeles played at Tampa Bay on Thursday that it has not been determined yet if Walsh will require surgery for the season-ending injury. In other roster moves, the Angels selected first baseman Mike Ford from Triple-A Salt Lake, recalled catcher Matt Thiass and designated infielder Phil Gosselin for assignment. Ford also played with San Francisco, Seattle and Atlanta this year.
