Chase Silseth Released From Hospital
1 year agoLos Angeles Angels right-hander Chase Silseth (head), who was hit in the head by an errant throw on Saturday against the New York Mets, was evaluated at a local hospital in New York and was later released. He hasn't been placed on the injured list, but the Angels will continue to be cautious with him, as he's dealing with swelling and a headache. "He's got a pretty good lump on his noggin and a headache, but everything checked out well last night," manager Phil Nevin said. The 23-year-old had been pitching well since rejoining the starting rotation in mid-July, posting a 3.34 ERA in six starts with 38 strikeouts in 29 2/3 innings. He had tossed 3 1/3 scoreless innings against the Mets before a runner scored on the play in which he was hit in the head. If Silseth ends up missing time, the Angels could shift to a five-man rotation of Lucas Giolito, Patrick Sandoval, Reid Detmers, Tyler Anderson and Griffin Canning.
