Drew Smyly

Drew Pomeranz, 37-year-old left-handed pitcher for the Los Angeles Angels, was placed on the 15-day injured list on May 13, 2026, due to left elbow inflammation. The injury occurred during Tuesday's game against the Cleveland Guardians. Pomeranz has struggled significantly in 2026 with a 7.20 ERA through 15 innings, marking a career-worst performance. This injury is particularly concerning given his history of arm issues that kept him sidelined from 2022-2024. He had a successful 2025 season with the Cubs (2.17 ERA), which prompted the Angels to sign him to a one-year, $4MM deal, but the 2026 campaign has not materialized as hoped.
