Good morning baseball fans!
Tim Lincecum passed his physical, making his one-year deal with the Angels official:
Lincecum drew interest from over 20 teams after throwing a showcase two weeks ago in Scottsdale, and was said to be choosing between the White Sox, Giants and Angels as of last week. He will likely go to the minors for a bit before joining the Angels' starting rotation, which has been decimated by injuries.
Neither the Twins nor the Rays have had much success in recent drafts.
What exactly is wrong with the Rangers' new stadium plans?
Josh Reddick is out 4-6 weeks with a broken thumb:
Reddick, 29, has been one of Oakland's most consistent contributors, hitting .322/.394/.466 with five home runs and 18 RBI. He is considered a top trade candidate in advance of the August 1 non-waiver trade deadline, though today's news at least slightly threatens his availability.
Things aren't looking good for Carson Smith:
Farrell said he would be surprised if Carson Smith needed surgery. Hoping rest is the remedy.
