MLB REPORT

SCIOSCIA WILL STEP DOWN

Los Angeles Angels manager Mike Scioscia is expected to step down at the end of this season, according to a report by Ken Rosenthal of The Athletic.

Scioscia has managed the Angels since 2000 and is the longest-tenured manager in the majors. Only four managers in baseball history have managed one team for more consecutive seasons than his 19. The 59year-old led the Angels to a World Series title in 2002.

TROUT MISSES 3RD GAME IN ROW

OF Mike Trout was not in the starting lineup for the third straight game on Saturday.

Trout injured his wrist on Wednesday while sliding into second base at Tampa Bay.

“Mike is moving in the right direction, but he’s not able to swing right now so he’s day-today,” manager Mike Scioscia said.

X-rays and an MRI revealed only inflammation in Trout’s wrist.

BOSTON RED SOX

2B Ian Kinsler, who has played just three games with the club since being acquired at the trade deadline, was put on the 10-day disabled list with a strained left hamstring.

Kinsler appeared to injure himself while rounding third base on Friday night.

ST. LOUIS CARDINALS

OF Dexter Fowler was put on the 10-day DL with a broken left foot.

Fowler was removed in the eighth inning of Friday’s loss to the Pirates. President of baseball operations John Mozeliak said Fowler was injured when he fouled a ball off the foot.

TAMPA BAY RAYS

INF Daniel Robertson was put on the 10-day DL with a sprained left thumb and might miss the rest of the season.

Robertson will see a hand specialist Sunday to determine if surgery will be required.

TEXAS RANGERS

CF Delino DeShields was been placed on the DL with post-concussion syndrome more than three weeks after banging the back of his head when trying to make a sliding catch at Boston on July 11.

DeShields, who initially passed all impact testing, was scratched from the starting lineup on Friday because of headaches and placed on seven-day concussion DL.
