Suarez is on the injured list with shoulder inflammation as the Angels wait for news from his MRI. The team next has a spot for a sixth starter on May 17 in Baltimore.
ANAHEIM — Although Phil Nevin said he liked what Chase Silseth brought to the Angels’ bullpen, necessity is going to bring him back to the rotation.
Suarez might have been bounced from the rotation even if he didn’t hurt his shoulder while he was allowing seven runs on Sunday, ballooning his ERA to 9.62. Nevin also said he felt Silseth’s velocity would go up even from his normal 96-97 mph in short relief outings.The Angels could have moved left-hander Tucker Davidson into the rotation and left Silseth in the bullpen, but it’s now been more than a month since Davidson was stretched out to start.
Valdez is a 38-year-old soft-tossing journeyman who Nevin said “can throw just about every day, as many pitches as you want.”
