Yusei Kikuchi Exits Start Early With Left Shoulder Tightness

Angels left-hander Yusei Kikuchi was removed from Wednesday's start against the White Sox after two scoreless innings due to left shoulder tightness. Before departing, Kikuchi allowed two hits and one walk while striking out one batter. The Angels will likely evaluate the severity of the tightness to determine if a stint on the injured list is necessary. Further updates on his status are expected following medical evaluation.
