CINCINNATI (AP) \u2014 Los Angeles Angels rookie right-hander George Klassen left Saturday\u2019s 7-3 loss to the Cincinnati Reds in the third inning because of a bruised nail on his right index finger.<\/p>\n
Angels manager Kurt Suzuki said pitching coach Mike Maddux noticed during a mound visit that Klassen was looking at the finger.<\/p>\n
\u201cI think he’s going to be OK,” Suzuki said. “It probably doesn’t feel great with the fingernail like that. I don’t think he’s going to miss time for it.\u201d<\/p>\n
Making just his second big league appearance, left with the Angels trailing 5-1 after allowing five runs, five hits and five walks and two strikeouts. He threw 72 pitches and allowed a solo homer to Spencer Steer.<\/p>\n
Klassen said the nail began bothering him during the first inning. A similar issue occurred last year in the minor leagues.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe’re taking care of it in the training room,” he said. “Still pretty inexcusable results. Put the bullpen in a tough spot.\u201d<\/p>\n
Klassen did not get a decision in his major league debut on April 5 against Seattle. .<\/p>\n
Los Angeles acquired him from Philadelphia along with left-hander Sam Aldegheri for right-hander Carlos Est\u00e9vez on July 27, 2024.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"CINCINNATI (AP) \u2014 Los Angeles Angels rookie right-hander George Klassen left Saturday\u2019s 7-3 loss to the Cincinnati Reds…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":263626,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[36],"tags":[163,165,164,115633,99864,115631,10900,23438,5341,5337,5340,59781,115632,108491],"class_list":{"0":"post-263625","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-anaheim","8":"tag-anaheim","9":"tag-anaheim-headlines","10":"tag-anaheim-news","11":"tag-carlos-estevez","12":"tag-george-klassen","13":"tag-klassen-angels-injury","14":"tag-kurt-suzuki","15":"tag-mike-maddux","16":"tag-package-100502-member-choice-sports-option","17":"tag-product-30599-ap-sports-news-s-wire-only","18":"tag-product-40776-ap-california-sports-only","19":"tag-product-40806-ap-ohio-sports-only","20":"tag-sam-aldegheri","21":"tag-spencer-steer"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/263625","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=263625"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/263625\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/263626"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=263625"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=263625"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=263625"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
