Andrelton Simmons is the topic of current Angels news that scared the clubhouse and all fans.

In recent Angels news, Andrelton Simmons was involved in a scary collision with Minnesota Twins player Eduardo Escobar at second base. Simmons was placed on the 15 day disabled list and he is now the third player to be placed on the disabled list for the Angels.

Also, all three of the recent players are play-making game changers. One is new to the team and the other is a former MVP. Negative news for the Angels is they have star players who are on the disabled list.

However, the positive news is it is early in the season, therefore there is time to recover. Additionally, the Angels are currently sitting at second place in their division at 29-31.

Here’s a look at three core players that won’t be immediately available.
