Rangers' Garcia's Shoulder, Angels' Pitchers' Progress, and Mariners' Wisdom's IL

0:00It's April 19th, I'm Corey with the story, and this is MLB News today, your AI-powered baseball briefing. Rangers reliever Robert Garcia left the relief outing on Thursday with a sore throwing shoulder, so they got an MRI on it today to check the damage. Managers Skipshumaker says it doesn't look too bad, but even if it's clean, Garcia will probably need a few days to rest up. Garcia's had a weird start this season, with a 3.38 ERA over 8 innings. But he's walked 7 guys and only struck out 6. He's gotten lucky on balls and play though, and the Rangers really need him healthy since relievers Chris Martin, Luis Covello, and Carter Bommler are. Already on the 15-day injured list, over in Anaheim, Angel Skipper Kurt Suzuki gave updates on their banged up pitchers. Grayson Rodriguez and Ben Joyce should face live hitters soon, while Alec Manoa is already doing that down in Arizona. All three started the year on the IL, with shoulder inflammation for Rodriguez, a finger

1:02issue for Manoa, and shoulder surgery recovery for Joyce. Kirby Yates is also working back from knee inflammation, with a triple A rehab stint that started Friday. He says it'll take a few more games to build velocity and pack on some weight. Meanwhile, Mariners infielder, Patrick Wisdom, just hit the 10-day IL retroactive to April 15th, with a left oblique strain after getting called up. Tuesday for a pinch hit appearance, his first big league action since last year with the Cubs. Keep an eye on these bullpins as the West heats up.
