From Rotoworld: Ross walked six and allowed five runs — three earned — in his 4 1/3 innings of work Thursday against the White Sox. Ross actually issued more walks (6) than he allowed hits (5) in the contest, failing to stick around long enough to qualify for what would have been his fourth win. Instead, he remains 3-2 with an unsightly 7.02 ERA and 1.65 WHIP in nine starts this year. Nobody expected brilliance from the 30-year-old in his return from serious shoulder issues, but there were certainly higher hopes than this for Ross this season. He’ll get back at it Tuesday against the Angels.
Nolasco left his start Wednesday against the Nationals with a trainer. Nolasco was pulled with a 2-2 count on Jose Lobaton, though his pitch total was up to 112 so it might not have been injury-related. The right-hander allowed two earned runs on five hits and three walks over 5 2/3 innings versus Washington. Anaheim had a 3-2 lead when he departed.
