Ben Joyce Returns After 484-Day Absence for Angels
The Angels reliever made an emotional return to the mound after missing roughly 16 months, likely due to a prolonged injury recovery.
Angels reliever Ben Joyce described his return to pitching as emotional, noting it had been approximately 484 days since he last appeared. Joyce said he was more nervous for this outing than his MLB debut. The lengthy absence strongly implies he was recovering from a significant injury and has now been activated. Beat reporter Rhett Bollinger covered the remarks for the Los Angeles Angels.
