All seems to be going well as Richards spoke to Gonzalez after session and stated that he felt no pain.
“Everything feels good, agility feels good,” Richards said. “I don’t notice anything different from before.”
ESPN.com reports the following:
“He’s going to pitch when he’s ready,” Scioscia said. “We’ll see him early in the season.
Richards was 13-4 with a 2.61 ERA in 26 starts when he got hurt, a turnaround from his 7-8 record the previous year. His plan is to be ready when the Angels open April 6 at Seattle.
“I’m progressing,” he said. “The exercises are getting easy.”
Angels fans will continue to monitor his progress. He was a huge part of the Angels rotation before going down with injury last season.
