TEMPE, Ariz. (AP) – Angels manager Mike Scioscia was not surprised closer Ryan Madson had elbow soreness in his rehabilitation from reconstructive surgery.
Madson, the team’s free-agent acquisition, who hasn’t pitched since 2011 said that he suffered a setback while throwing on Feb. 1.
Scioscia called the pain flare-up a part of the “normal rehab process” and that he expects Madsen to be pitching “at some point in April.”
“I think first and foremost (of importance) is Ryan getting through his rehab,” Scioscia said. “He’s obviously at the last stages of his rehab to where he’s on the mound throwing.
“Some days he’s going to move ahead. Sometimes rehabbing is up and down. We expect him at some point in April. … He’s a guy that obviously is important to us. We have to error on the side of caution.”
