Silseth was still awaiting MRI results on Monday afternoon. In the meantime, hard-throwing right-hander Soriano will start on Wednesday against Tampa Bay. Soriano has been stretched out to 60 pitch…
Angels starting pitcher Chase Silseth’s velocity dropped from around 95 mph in the first inning to 92 mph by the fifth inning on Sunday, but he said after the game that he didn’t think anything of it. On Monday, Silseth said he felt something during the game, but it wasn’t enough to cause any alarm. He was awaiting the result of an MRI on his elbow. ANAHEIM — Chase Silseth was in that awkward waiting phase on Monday, after getting an MRI exam but before learning what it showed.
Soriano was a reliever last season, but he showed enough potential that the Angels gave him a try in the rotation this spring. Although Soriano did well, the Angels still felt it was best to begin the season with him in the major league bullpen, working multiple innings to remain stretched out to start., and then he gave up three runs in three innings in his second game. His fastball has routinely hit 101 mph.“We’ll just put him out there till he can’t go any more,” Manager Ron Washington said.
The Angels called up right-handers Hunter Strickland and Carson Fulmer to take the roster spots of Silseth and Zuñiga. Both are capable of pitching multiple innings.
