Angels right-hander Keynan Middleton left today’s game after 12 pitches due to what the club termed as elbow discomfort. Middleton will undergo an MRI tomorrow. Today’s outing was Middleton’s third appearance since returning from a 10-day DL stint for inflammation in that same elbow. The 24-year-old closer has posted good results when healthy (2.04 ERA and an 8.25 K/9 in 17 2/3 IP), and in his absence, Blake Parker and Jim Johnson figure to get the bulk of save opportunities for the Halos.
