Los Angeles Angels disabled list continues to grow.

The Los Angeles Angels might as well open up their own Emergency Room in the parking lot of Angel Stadium as members of the 2016 club continue to drop like flies. With 3 players being added to the DL in the past 2 days the list is now at 10.

So far the 2016 Los Angeles Angels season has been one to forget about. After a shaky start to the season, the Angels, have been plagued by injuries left and right.

Another devastating injury hit the Los Angeles Angels on Monday night. Daniel Nava left the game early due to left groin tightness. He was placed on the disabled list. His return, is still unsure, but when, Nava, was signed this is one of the main concerns as he returns to the DL again.

Rafael Ortega, was called up today in his place. Ortega, was singed up to add depth tp the gaping hole that is left field. Since being called up to the big leagues, he has been one of the most productive of the Angel hitters. Whether it be bunting over a runner or getting on base to set up, Mike Trout. Ortega, has a batting average .294, 6 RBI’s, and an OPS of .640. In addition, to his skills with a bat he also is tied for fourth in outfield assist in the American League. With Ortega’s, skill set Angel fans have nothing to worry about because this backup is looking to stay.

The second Los Angeles Angels player to go down was long reliever Cory Rasmus. Rasmus, suffered the same fate as, Daniel Nava, with left groin tightness. The Angels turned to 27-year-old veteran, A.J. Achter. After, being optioned back to the minors just six days ago, Achter, will make another appearance for the Angels. So far he has been decent for the Angels, with 8 IP, 3 K’s, and an ERA of 3.24 in five games. Only time will tell if he will continue to be a vital asset to the Angel bullpen.

In most recent news,  Geovany Soto suffered an injury. After an MRI confirmed that he tore his right meniscus during warm ups Wednesday afternoon. As he saw a doctor following the injury, Soto, opted  for surgery on the right knee. Soto had emerged as the primary catcher this season, outhitting the younger, Carlos Perez.  Perez, will now see a lot of playing time hoping for his bat to come along the way. He sports a .176 batting average, .238 on-base percentage, and .438 slugging percentage.

To replace Soto, the Angels called up, Jett Bandy from Triple-A Salt Lake. Bandy was batting .274 with two home runs in 24 games for Salt Lake so far this season. Let’s hope Bandy can produce especially if Perez continues to slump.

In other minor league news, the Los Angeles Angels have outrighted first baseman Ji-man Choi to Triple-A Salt Lake. Choi cleared waivers and accepted the assignment. Although he saw 24 at-bats, Choi, did not get many opportunities to prove his worth. Choi, will look to pry his way back to the majors as he grinds through the minor leagues.

Javy Guerra, was outrighted as well, in order to make room for, David Huff on the 40-man roster. Guerra is a one inning type of pitcher, and doesn’t really have much value in serious situations. Yet, he did not pitch half bad for the Los Angeles Angels, so he could work back into their bullpen anytime soon.

Next: Who's next on the DL?

Injuries have been extremely contagious for the 2016 Los Angeles Angels. We can only hope that precautions are being made and that this team can stay healthy enough to stay in the pennant race.
