Angels News: Phil Nevin Provides Somber Update on LA's 1st Baseman

Still no on-field play for the first baseman.

The Los Angeles Angels have struggled to put together a consistent stretch of play thus far into the season. The record still looks solid at 5-4 but they have lost games in embarrassing fashion and adding Jared Walsh back to their infield and lineup would make a key difference.

However, it appears that we still do not have a firm idea as to when he'll be making his way back as he continue to suffer from headaches and insomnia. This news was reported by Sam Blum as he received it from team manager Phil Nevin himself.

Regarding Jared Walsh (headaches/insomnia): Phil Nevin said Walsh believes he's making progress. He's getting clarity on his issue.

That said, the longer he is out, Nevin said, the longer the ramp-up he'll need.

There's no clear timeline for a return.

These complications first came into play near the end of Spring Training where Walsh missed three straight games before being placed on the injured list to start the year. He has been there since and nobody really knows what's going on.

It's important to remember that at just 29-years-old, Walsh has already suffered more injuries than most. In the past two seasons, he's sealed with an intercostal strain and thoracic outlet syndrome.

He was hoping this season to be his first fully health one but then the headaches came into play. We all hope to see him back on the field very soon.
