AUSTIN WARREN NEWS

Activation date pushed back The Angels plan to have Warren toss one more simulated game early in the week before reinstating him from the COVID-19 injured list, J.P. Hoornstra of the Los Angeles Daily News re...

Impact After completing a 17-pitch sim game earlier this weekend, Warren initially looked on track to rejoin the Angels' active roster ahead of Monday's series opener with Houston. Instead, the Angels will delay his return by a few days and have him get stretched out a little more threw a second sim game. Once reinstated, Warren should factor into the setup mix for Los Angeles after he struck out 10 over nine scoreless innings across his last six appearances with the big club before landing on the COVID-19 IL in late August.
