Angels' Alex Meyer: Rehabbing from another surgery
Alex Meyer revealed Wednesday that he required arthroscopic surgery on his right shoulder in November, Jeff Fletcher of The Orange County Register reports.Meyer was sidelined for the entire 2018 campaign after requiring surgery in September 2017 to repair the labrum in his same shoulder. It was expected that he would have a relatively normal offseason before returning to camp this spring at close to full strength, but the fact that he experienced a setback that required a follow-up procedure now muddles his outlook for 2019. While the scope won't necessitate as long of a recovery timeline as the surgery he needed to repair his labrum, Meyer has yet to resume a throwing program and looks like a good bet to open the season on the injured list at Triple-A Salt Lake.

Angels' Alex Meyer: Suffers another setback
Alex Meyer (shoulder) experienced a setback in his recovery Monday, Maria Torres of the Los Angeles Times reports.Meyer missed the entire 2018 campaign after undergoing shoulder surgery in September of 2017.

Angels' Alex Meyer: Experiences setback in recovery
Alex Meyer recently experienced a setback in his rehab from right shoulder surgery and required a cortisone shot to address the matter, Jeff Fletcher of The Orange County Register reports.The Los Angeles Angels will table Meyer's throwing program for a few days while they wait for the shot to take effect and hopefully eliminate any discomfort the 28-year-old is experiencing. Meyer isn't slated to return from the 60-day disabled list this season, but should be on pace to enter spring training with few restrictions, if any. It's uncertain, however, if he'll report to camp as a member of the Angels, as the team may want to see positive signs in his recovery before deciding over the winter whether or not to add him back to the 40-man roster. Prior to undergoing surgery last September, Meyer was serviceable in a 13-start sample with Los Angeles, posting a 3.74 ERA, 1.34 WHIP and 75 strikeouts in 67.1 innings.

Angels' Alex Meyer: Continues to progress from shoulder surgery
Alex Meyer (shoulder) has remained on schedule with his rehab and should be ready for spring training in 2019 barring any significant setbacks, Maria Guardado of MLB.com reports.Meyer underwent a procedure to repair a labral tear in his right shoulder back in September and has been progressing on a 12-month rehab schedule since that time. The right-hander is hoping that he will be able to return at some point in 2018 but that's highly unlikely and wouldn't make sense from either party to rush him back into action.
