Escobar to Have Season Ending Surgery:{

"As this week went on, we all felt that it was moving in that direction, to have surgery," manager Mike Scioscia said before the Angels played Oakland. "We all saw how hard Kelvim worked through spring. He was smiling when he came back to us and was in rehab starts. We all felt there was no question he was going to pitch for us in some capacity this year."

Escobar instead will have surgery sometime before the end of July to correct the pain in his right shoulder. The 32-year-old, who won 18 games last season, was first diagnosed with the injury in March but held off on surgery in hopes that the problem would go away with rest and rehab.
