Jose Quijada Undergoing Tommy John Surgery
12 months agoLos Angeles Angels relief pitcher Jose Quijada (elbow) requires Tommy John surgery, which will end his 2023 season. It's a tough blow for Quijada, who managed to record four saves in April and staked his claim atop the closer's depth chart for the Halos. He was battered for five runs by the Royals on April 21, though, ultimately ceding ninth-inning duties to Carlos Estevez. Quijada's injury further solidifies Estevez as the reliever to own in fantasy leagues, with fairly little opposition in the Angels bullpen contending with him at this time. Estevez has been superb in save opportunities this year, going a flawless 6-for-6 in those scenarios while posting an excellent 1.23 ERA with 18 strikeouts in 14.2 innings of action.
