Dan Haren Has Contusion On Right Forearm

Monday night didn’t go as the Angels and Dan Haren intended for it to go, as the new ace starter was knocked out by a Kevin Youkilis line drive in the fifth. However, the whole thing could’ve been a lot worse:

We’ll see what they say following re-examination, but it seems Haren was able to avoid major injury. The Angels, though, were not able to avoid a loss, and fell into a tie with the A’s, 7.5 back of Texas in the West.
