Yusei Kikuchi Nearing Return from 60-Day Injured List

Yusei Kikuchi (shoulder) announced Sunday that he expects to join the Los Angeles Angels for their upcoming six-game road trip. The left-hander believes he will be ready to be activated from the 60-day injured list sometime during the coming week. Kikuchi's return would provide a significant boost to the Angels' pitching staff as they navigate the remainder of their schedule.
