The 2022 Los Angeles Angels need to be probably the most disappointing groups in MLB this yr.

They’d a promising offseason, began off the yr on the appropriate foot, after which all the pieces fell aside.

Proper now, they don’t have any hope of creating the playoffs and have a 52-72 file, fourth within the AL West.

One of many busts of the Halos this yr has been Jared Walsh.

Walsh had a .970 OPS in 2020 and a .849 mark over an extended pattern dimension final yr.

He hit 29 homers and drove in 98 runs in a tremendous marketing campaign.

This yr?

The numbers simply haven’t been there for essentially the most half.

With a .643 OPS and 15 residence runs in 423 journeys to the plate, Walsh has been a legal responsibility for Los Angeles.

Sadly, he has needed to play harm at instances; and now, he has been declared out for the yr with the dreaded thoracic outlet syndrome.

“The #Angels have claimed LHP Rob Zastryzny off waivers from the New York Mets. He has been optioned to Triple-A @SaltLakeBees. In a corresponding transfer, INF Jared Walsh has been transferred to the 60-day injured checklist,” the Angels knowledgeable by way of Twitter.

Walsh’s Season Is Over Prematurely

Since there are fewer than 60 days left within the common season calendar, the transfer successfully ends Walsh’s marketing campaign.

The slugger had been positioned on the 10-day injured checklist earlier on Thursday, however the transfer to the 60-day IL opens up a spot to pitcher Rob Zastryzny.

When coping with thoracic outlet syndrome, surgical procedure is commonly the most effective method to deal with it.

We hope Walsh could make a full restoration and are available again stronger in 2023.

For now, very similar to the Angels, he’s going residence earlier than anticipated.
