Felix Pena Should Be Healthy For Opening Day
5 years agoLos Angeles Angels manager Joe Maddon said that pitcher Felix Pena (knee) should be healthy by Opening Day. Pena is recovering from a torn ACL he suffered last August, but he's ahead of schedule and could be an option to win the team's No. 5 rotation spot if he proves himself in spring training. The 29-year-old (30 later this month) had a 4.58 ERA and 1.18 WHIP while striking out 101 and walking 34 in 22 outings (seven starts) over 96 1/3 innings. His chances of making starts are better early in 2020 with Shohei Ohtani (elbow) making his debut in May. Pena has some strikeout upside but typically doesn't go deep into games, limiting his appeal to AL-only and DFS formats if he's making starts.
