Street Ruled Out for Regular Season
Sunday, Sept. 27
Mike DiGiovanna of the Los Angeles Times reported Street was diagnosed with a Grade 1 left-groin strain and that he is hopeful he'd be available for the playoffs if the Angels make it.
Los Angeles hasn't been eliminated from postseason contention yet, but Street's injury could hamper the team's quest to pull off the improbable.
Entering Saturday night's 3-2 win over the Mariners, Street led the American League in saves with 40, and the team's next-best option is rookie Trevor Gott.
The Angels are also without setup man Joe Smith, who is suffering from a sprained ankle, per MLB.com's Alden Gonzalez, and Smith only started playing catch again Saturday.
Given the perceived severity of Street's injury, Los Angeles is in deep trouble as it heads down the regular season's home stretch.
