Just saw Rafael Ortega on his way to Angels clubhouse. Assume he’s up and Daniel Nava on DL. Nothing official yet.

This is Nava’s sixth year in the majors. He had spent time with the Boston Red Sox and Tampa Bay Rays. In eight games this season Nava is hitting .286. Nava was signed this summer to help provide depth to the Angels outfield.
Los Angeles will take on the Minnesota Twins later today. Ortega will get the start.
It looks to be the injury isn’t too serious and should be back sooner rather than later. As more information surfaces on Nava and the Halo’s we will keep you up to date.
