The Los Angeles Angels have had some unfortunate injury updates this spring, but the latest one should spark joy among fans. A key infield acquisition had a thumb injury with an unknown cause, but what is now known is that manager Ron Washington believes he will be playing on Opening Day.

Washington also made a hint that two young players with productive springs and a bright future would not be making the Opening Day roster. With so much more to learn and different facets to develop in their respective games, the skipper cited decision making as a main reason for potentially leaving them out of the big leagues for a little longer.
