Angels' Garrett Richards (elbow) to face hitters Wednesday
Los Angeles Angels starting pitcher Garrett Richards (elbow) is slated to face live hitters on Wednesday.
What It Means:
Richards is scheduled to make his first appearance in the instructional league next Monday, barring any setbacks. The 28-year-old right-hander was diagnosed with a torn right ulnar collateral ligament back in May, but he decided to undergo stem cell treatments in hopes of foregoing Tommy John surgery.
Richards holds a career-best 2.34 ERA and 23.0 strikeout percentage in just 34 2/3 innings this season. He's 1-3 across six starts.
