You can count on him going on the DL a couple of times a year.

It's ashame that we can't keep Seager Jung and Langford healthy together for a significant period of time.

Seager likely goes on the IL and Duran comes back up

I guess the Seager injury means Dustin Harris will go back down so an infielder can come up.

let Duran stay down and bring up Foscue

Here is a link to a breakdown of Leitde's outing last night.

Jack Leiter's Rehab Start: A Breakdown

Last night, Jack Leiter pitched his scheduled rehab start versus the Las Vegas Aviators, the A's Triple-A affiliate. I watched every pitch, so let's do a deep

Foscue can't backup at SS. Unfortunately, Duran is the best we have at the time. Not that that is saying much. Ornelas is the only other option.

i personally never want to see Ornelas in a Ranger uniform again. i would DFa Ornelas and promote Cauley

I think they either stand pat or IL Corey for IF

If they think Seager will miss a couple of days, I think they will want a backup MIF on the team. They might chance it for a day, but even that is very risky.

they have Smith who is actually better at SS than Duran if it's just a day or too. means that Pillar and Taveras would have to cover OF with Langford and Garcia

 

[Uncle Siggy]

Foscue is hot right now so why not give him a shot. If Smith gets hurt shift Semien to SS and put Foscue at 2B until they can get Duran back, only be for one game...

Hopefully it would be Harris and Pillar covering in OF.

so true i completely forgot about Harris

Smith will be playing SS in Seager's place. With Seager hurt and Smith playing SS they have no one to back up at 2B or SS. Even the possible backups for 3B would be bad defensively at 3B. Most of the year they have went with 2 guys to back up in the middle of the infield, they are certainly not going to go with none.

From Sam Blum:

The Angels getaway game Thursday is at 6:29 p.m., before a flight to MIN.

Angels mgmt picked the time. Angels players aren't happy.

6:29 p.m. is the latest minute allowed by the CBA. A day game is standard.

"I don’t think it should be allowed."

agree if this drags out more than a day or two. if longer they will have to bring someone up

Yeah, I said earlier, they might risk it for one game, but not two.

Actually, if they don't DL Seager, they can't bring up Duran for at least another week. It would have to be Ornelas. Since Duran just went down he can't come back up without someone going on the DL.

and like i said Ornelas should never be brought up again. at the plate he makes Pederson look like ,400 hitter

Maybe but if smith gets hurt we are in a bind

When Woodward tried to play Semien at SS back in 2022, Semien complained about it, and it hasn't happened since. Maybe Bochy would.
