Los Angeles Angels reliever Ben Joyce has been transferred to the 60-day injured list due to persistent shoulder inflammation, initially thought to be minor. The 24-year-old, who recorded the hardest pitch in MLB at 105.5 mph last season, experienced discomfort while attempting to resume throwing, prompting further medical evaluation. Joyce’s absence significantly impacts the bullpen, leaving manager Ron Washington with limited options, as the team has struggled with a 7.15 bullpen ERA, the second-worst in the league.
