Keynan Middleton is back on the DL, this time an MRI showed UCL damage, meaning this likely marks the end of his season. It’s really a shame as he had been pitching well and definitely, has a bright future as a reliever in this league. Where the Angels go from here now, only Mike Scioscia knows, but I think its safe to say it won’t just be one guy handling the closer duties the rest of the season. I still like Blake Parker the most, as he has rebounded nicely from his early season struggles and is the better upside option over Jim Johnson. Cam Bedrosian will likely factor in as well, but I’d imagine he’s still likely 3rd on the depth chart as he’s had a bit of a shaky May. Justin Anderson could still be fourth in line, despite earning the save last night (the other three were unavailable). For now, if I only have one roster spot to burn, Parker is the guy I am adding. He’s the guy I liked heading into the season and the guy who’s been the best as of late for them.
