Overview

  • The Angels placed left-hander Drew Pomeranz on the 15-day injured list Wednesday for left elbow inflammation, which manager Kurt Suzuki called a cautious step.
  • Pomeranz reported the issue after working the seventh inning in Tuesday’s 3-2 loss in Cleveland, where he gave up one run on one hit and one walk.
  • Rookie right-hander Ryan Johnson rejoined the roster to help the bullpen after rehab starts at Triple-A Salt Lake and Single-A Rancho Cucamonga.
  • Pomeranz, 37, is 0-3 with a 7.20 ERA in 15 innings for Los Angeles after a standout 2025 with the Cubs.
  • A 13-year veteran with a 3.87 career ERA, Pomeranz is on a one-year, $4 million deal following arm problems that kept him out of the majors from 2022 to 2024.
