Angels' Escobar says he may need shoulder surgery
Published 3/27/2008 at FOXSports.com News for MLB
Kelvim Escobar, an 18-game winner for the Los Angeles Angels last season, told reporters Wednesday he has a tear in his pitching shoulder and might need surgery.
The team hadn't confirmed that diagnosis by the end of Wednesday's 7-5 loss to the Chicago Cubs.
The 31-year-old right-hander said he would continue to try and strengthen his arm, but admitted surgery could be a possibility. Escobar, 18-7 with a 3.40 ERA last season, hasn't pitched this spring.
