Tropeano is here because Matt Shoemaker has been placed on the bereavement list. No word on why, but he’s expected back for next start.

In order to fill in for Shoemakers absence the Angels have called up Nick Tropeano. Gonzalez reported some details.

No official word yet, but Tropeano seems to have been brought up to start tomorrow, with everyone else getting pushed back. #Angels

Gonzalez later confirmed that Tropeano will indeed start tomorrow.

Tropeano starting Thursday, Richards Friday (normal day), Wilson pushed to Saturday. Doesn’t wanna say why, but may be nursing something.

There has been a lot of movement in the Angels organization these last few days and this is just latest to come to the surface. We are unsure what is going on with Shoemaker but we hope everything is okay. He is 2-1 so far this season.

Tropeano has been average in Triple-A so far this season with a 4.09 ERA with 12 strikeouts in his two starts so far.
