The Los Angeles Angels' thoughts will be with teammate Taylor Ward when they try to avoid being swept in a three-game series by the host Toronto Blue Jays on Sunday afternoon.
Ward was hit in the face by a pitch from Toronto starter Alek Manoah in the fifth inning of the Angels' 6-1 loss on Saturday.
"Anytime anybody gets hit, especially in the face, the first thing you think about is his health and that he's OK," Angels third baseman Mike Moustakas said. "Obviously, it didn't really look very good. Hopefully, we get some good news here in a little bit. We're all praying for him." "It's hard, man," Moustakas said. "Anytime you see anybody get hit, especially like that, it's hard, but it's something we had to do. Obviously, we didn't come back and win like we would have hoped. But right now, the game's over. All we can think about is if Wardo is gonna be OK or not. That's where all of our heads are at."
The Angels are scheduled to start left-hander Tyler Anderson on Sunday. In two career starts against Toronto covering 10 2/3 innings, he is 0-1 with a 5.91 ERA.
