The Los Angeles Angels placed closer Bud Norris on the 10-day DL Tuesday with what is believed to be a knee injury and in the process will now turn back to former stopper Cam Bedrosian to take over the ninth inning. Norris had been a revelation in locking down 11 saves in dominant fashion while Bedrosian was on the DL himself and he did so well, that he was likely going to keep the job outright. However the injury comes at a terrible time for Norris owners as it opens the door to Bedrosian to take hold of the closer role again and his top-shelf stuff should be more than up to it. In fact Bedrosian has a 0.00 ERA in 7.2 innings so far this season and he was in complete control last season as well when given a chance to pitch in the ninth. It was fun while it lasted Norris owners but it looks like his time finishing games are through.
