It would appear that non-human Andrelton Simmons is already doing better as well. No running or lateral movement yet, but he was spotted fielding ground balls yesterday.
Well this is a good sign for the Angels. Andrelton Simmons taking easy grounders as he recovers from a bad ankle sprain. Simba has some ridiculous healing ability. pic.twitter.com/ey3zGJGdX6

Finally, Kevan Smith will be back on the roster tonight as well.
That’s gonna be a lot of roster shifting. Kevan Smith is back today and they’ll most likely need another pitcher for Saturday
