Five Angels who have played for multiple teams agree that the training and medical staff is good and the injuries were “freak” things that could not be avoided.
The Angels lost several players to significant injuries during the 2023 season, including, clockwise from top left, pitcher and designated hitter Shohei Ohtani, outfielder Mike Trout, third baseman Anthony Rendon, reliever Ben Joyce and catcher Logan O’Hoppe. Perhaps the moment that best summed up the 2023 Angels was the first inning of their game on Sept. 7, when Luis Rengifo was swinging a bat in the on-deck circle., adding his name to a mind-boggling list.
The Angels have three athletic trainers, led by Mike Frostad, who is in his second year in the organization. Matt Biancuzzo also joined the Angels last year, while Eric Munson just completed his seventh year. Longtime head athletic trainer Rick Smith, who has been with the Angels in various capacities since 1978, also still assists at home games.
All five said the Angels’ staff was, at worst, the same as other places they’d played, and at best, even better. Drury added: “Strength and conditioning and medical has been awesome this year. If you look back at our injuries, it has nothing to do with anything in the gym, anything you could do in the training room.”Injuries, of course, can’t be assessed without acknowledging their differences. Someone getting hit in the face by a pitch is nothing like a pitcher blowing out his ulnar collateral ligament or an outfielder straining his oblique .
At least five of the Angels’ injured list placements this year were mostly about roster management, and all were given soft tissue descriptions, a source said.
