The Angels will be without 30-year old righty starting pitcher John Lackey for a month due to elbow tightness. Lackey pitched in 24 games (all starts) for the Angels last season in which he was 12-5 with a 3.75 ERA and a 1.23 WHIP. He has now pitched in 207 games (206 starts) in 7 years with the Angels and he is 91-63 with a 3.81 ERA and a 1.31 WHIP. The Angels better hope they hit the ball well to make up for not having John Lackey, Ervin Santana and Kelvim Escobar for at least a month apiece.
