Jered Weaver has a fractured left elbow and is expected to be sidelined for a month, maybe longer. The Angels announced the news on Tuesday morning, two days after Weaver suffered the injury while avoiding a comebacker during a game at Rangers Ballpark. The diagnosis is a non-displaced radial head fracture to Weaver's non-pitching elbow, putting the Angels' ace out of action for at least four weeks and possibly up to six.(休息至少要4週，最慢6週) Given the perceived questions in their rotation heading into the season, and their desire to get off to a much better start than they did last season, the news is concerning to the Angels, a team that lost four of its first six games and begins a six-game homestand against the A's and Astros on Tuesday, with the Angel Stadium opener slated for 7:05 p.m. PT. It will be up to C.J. Wilson, Joe Blanton, Jason Vargas and Tommy Hanson to pick up the slack. Taking Weaver's place in the rotation would presumably be 24-year-old Garrett Richards, who has great stuff and is coming off a sparkling Spring Training.(織織的位置由24歲的Richards頂替) Weaver's next turn wasn't to be until Saturday, which should give Richards enough time to get his length back after starting the regular season as a late-inning reliever. A fallback option would be swingman Jerome Williams. If Richards transitions back to a starter, a role he excelled at throughout his Minor League career, the recently signed Mark Lowe is expected to take on a more prominent role in the back end of the bullpen, alongside Ernesto Frieri, Kevin Jepsen, Scott Downs and Sean Burnett. To give them more coverage, the Angels purchased the contract of reliever Dane De La Rosa from Triple-A Salt Lake in a corresponding move on Tuesday. De La Rosa, a 6-foot-7 right-hander who was acquired from the Rays for Steven Geltz on March 27, posted a 2.79 ERA and 87 strikeouts in 67 2/3 innings for Triple-A Durham last year. To make room for him on the roster, lefty Andrew Taylor (labrum tear) was transferred to the 60-day disabled list. Weaver had given up four runs in five innings on Sunday night, his fastball velocity eerily dropping close to the mid-80s once again, when the Rangers' Mitch Moreland hit a line drive up the middle to start the bottom of the sixth.(回到先發要六月下旬) The shot barely missed Weaver, but he hurt himself while using his left arm to brace his fall. He immediately came out of the game and Ian Kinsler hit a game-breaking three-run homer off Lowe later in the inning. X-rays taken that night were negative, initially leading to the diagnosis of a strain, but the 30-year-old right-hander later said, "It's pretty painful now. It feels like when you jam a thumb, but it's in the elbow." Follow-up tests in Southern California on Monday revealed that the injury was more serious. Weaver has finished in the top five in American League Cy Young Award voting each of the past three years. In 2012, he won a career-high 20 games, threw his first no-hitter, finished with a 2.81 ERA and sported a Major League-low 1.018 WHIP, but he missed the first three weeks of June because of a lower back strain and was limited to 188 2/3 innings. 織織!!!!!!!!!
