Scott Downs will likely start the 2011 season on the D.L. for the Los Angeles Angels
Lefty reliever Scott Downs will likely start the 2011 season on the 15-day disabled list due to a broken left big toe. Downs will likely miss between 2-4 weeks due to the injury. The Angels are going to miss Downs but the impact will be lessened a bit if 35-year old lefty Hisanori Takahashi gets off to a good start this year. The Angels were hoping to have a solid tag team from the left side in Downs & Takahashi after being a tad short on that side of the pen lately.
