Correction: No DL for Frankie
Francisco Rodriguez was upset with at the media Tuesday, but it was one story in particular that drew his ire. Rodriguez told the media gathering after his blown save Monday night that his two sore ankles won't require a stint on the DL. But it appeared on the Angels own website www.angelsbaseball.com that Rodriguez had said he would have to go on the DL. Not so.
His bum ankles might eventually require a DL stint but Rodriguez wanted to make it known he hasn't said that nor does he think the DL will be necessary. Rodriguez has been dealing with a bad left ankle since last season and over the weekend he tweaked his right ankle on the dugout steps. He will be out of action for the next couple of games as the Angels evaluate the situation. Here is the story that caused the trouble. As of game time Tuesday, the story was still available on the Angels' website.
