Yasiel Puigdropped the appeal for
his three-game suspension for his
involvement in a brawl when he
was with Cincinnati.
Puig began serving his ban
Monday night for the Indians, who
climbed into a half-game lead in
the American League Central after
beating the Boston Red Sox in the
opener of a three-game series.
Puig was disciplined for his in-
volvement in the latest benches-
clearing incident between the
Reds and Pittsburgh Pirates on
July 30.
The fracas began shortly after
Puig was dealt to the Indians as
part of a three-team trade that
sent right-hander Trevor Bauer
from Cleveland to Cincinnati.
Etc.
Boston placed rookie infielder
Michael Chavison the 10-day in-
jured list with a sprained left shoul-
der caused while trying to make a
diving catch. ... The Arizona Di-
amondbacks purchased the con-
tract of outfielder Josh Rojas from
triple-A Reno. Rojas made his ma-
jor league debut in left field against
the Colorado Rockies on Monday.
He went two for four.

In a perfect world, Jose Suarez
would be pitching for triple-A Salt
Lake and not the Angels right now,
finishing a full season of minor
league development.
The Angels, of course, don’t re-
side in or anywhere near a perfect
world. Their best starting pitcher,
Tyler Skaggs, died on July 1. Three
other starters in their season-
opening rotation were either re-
leased (Matt Harvey), demoted to
the bullpen (Trevor Cahill) or des-
ignated for assignment (Chris
Stratton).
Veteran left-hander Andrew
Heaney missed almost three
months of the season because of
shoulder and elbow injuries. Felix
Pena, the team’s most reliable
starter, suffered a season-ending
knee injury Aug. 3.
The short-handed Angels have
had no choice but to turn to young-
sters such as Suarez, the 21-year-
old left-hander who made his 11th
big league start Monday night. The
result was almost predictable.
Suarez lasted three innings and
69 pitches in a 10-2 loss to the Pitts-
burgh Pirates in Angel Stadium,
giving up six runs (four earned)
and seven hits, striking out two
and walking none.
Suarez got little help from his
defense. Errors by third baseman
Matt Thaiss and first baseman Al-
bert Pujols led to two unearned
runs in the first inning. Suarez gave
up a solo homer to Kevin Newman
in the second and a two-run double
to Jacob Stallings in the third.
Stallings, Bryan Reynolds and
Josh Bell each hit solo homers off
Angels reliever Jose Rodriguez — it
was Bell’s 30th homer — as Pitts-
burgh snapped an eight-game los-
ing streak. Stratton, traded to the
Pirates for cash in May, threw three
scoreless relief innings.
“Ideally, would they be [better
off] in the minor leagues getting
more experience? Possibly,” An-
gels manager Brad Ausmus said of
Suarez and Griffin Canning, the 23-
year-old right-hander who will
come off the injured list to start
Tuesday night.“But it is out of necessity. This is
where we’re at, they’re here, so we
have to find a way to win with them.
And in the process, they get experi-
ence.”
Canning and Suarez entered
this season as the organization’s
top pitching prospects. After going
3-4 with a 3.79 ERA in his first 11
starts, Canning is 1-2 with an 8.15
ERA in his last five games. Suarez
is 2-4 with a 6.57 ERA. Though they
were rushed to the majors, Ausmus
sees benefits to their ascents.
“There’s only one way to get big
league experience, and that’s to
play up here,” Ausmus said. “These
are the best hitters in the world.
You can’t get called up from the big
leagues. This is as high as they go.
As a young pitcher coming up,
you’re facing the best, you’re learn-
ing how to get the best out.”
But when those hitters get the
best of you on a consistent basis, as
they have with Suarez, could it
harm a young pitcher’s psyche?
“It’s a tough line to line to walk
because you don’t want his confi-
dence to be eroded,” Ausmus said.
“You want him to get experience,
but you don’t want him to be beat
down. ... You still have to look at the
big picture, and with his age,there’s still time to get better.”2020 vision
The Angels will open 2020 with a
seven-game trip to Houston and
Texas, and 16 of their 20 interleague
games will be against the National
League East, including a Mike
Trout homecoming series at
Philadelphia’s Citizens Bank Park
on July 17 to 19.
The last time the Angels played
in Philadelphia in May 2014, some
7,000 fans from Trout’s hometown
of Millville, N.J., which is 45 miles
south of Philadelphia, attended
the games. The ovation Trout re-
ceived before his first at-bat was so
long and loud that it “gave me
chills,” Trout said at the time.
The 2020 season opener will be
March 26 in Minute Maid Park. Af-
ter four games in Houston, the An-
gels and Rangers will play the first
regular-season games at the new
Globe Life Field in Arlington on
March 31 to April 2.
The Angels’ home opener will be
March 3 against Houston. Freeway
Series games against the Dodgers
will be Friday and Saturday, July 10
and 11, in Anaheim — both teams
will be off the Sunday before the
All-Star break — and Aug. 25 and26 in Dodger Stadium.
The Angels will host Washing-
ton (May 11-13), Miami (June 9-10)
and the New York Mets (Aug. 18-
20). In addition to Philadelphia,
they will play interleague road
games at Miami (April 14-15) and
Atlanta (July 3-5).Short hops
Shortstop Andrelton Simmons,
out since Aug. 3 because of a left-
ankle sprain and bone bruise, ex-
pects to resume baseball activities
this week with an eye toward re-
turning by next week. “I don’t have
any timeline,” he said Monday,
“but I don’t think it’s going to be too
long.” ... Reliever Justin Anderson
was placed on the 10-day injured
list because of a lat strain, an injury
the right-hander suffered Friday in
Boston, and right-hander Rodri-
guez was called up from triple-A
Salt Lake. ... Pena will undergo
surgery to repair a torn anterior
cruciate ligament Friday. ... Re-
liever Keynan Middleton, recover-
ing from Tommy John surgery, is
scheduled to pitch for Class-A In-
land Empire on Tuesday. Ausmus
said the right-hander will then
make a few appearances for Salt
Lake before joining the Angels.Angels struggling to get outs
