Angels place Tyler Anderson on the injured list, opening another rotation hole
Tyler Anderson's left oblique strain likely ends his season, prompting the Angels to sign Jose Urena, who will tie a record by playing for five teams this year.
- On Sunday, the Los Angeles Angels placed left-handed starting pitcher Tyler Anderson on the 15-day injured list and signed right-handed free agent pitcher Jose Ureña to take his roster spot ahead of the Houston Astros game.
- Anderson said he hurt his oblique while stretching in the gym on Thursday, the day before his start in Houston.
- Anderson has struggled this season, compiling a 2-8 record with a 4.56 ERA in 26 starts as the Angels rotation, which relied on only five starters until July, now faces instability.
- With Anderson out, the Angels need a starter for Tuesday in Kansas City, and Jose Ureña is among the candidates to fill that turn.
- Anderson acknowledged uncertainty about returning before season's end, and Jose Ureña has made 13 appearances and five starts this season.
