Weaver unsure how long he will be out

Los Angeles Angels ace Jered Weaver is unsure how long he’ll sit out to rest his biceps tendinitis.

Instead, he’s missing at least one start while hoping his arm bounces back. An MRI exam on his right shoulder this week revealed tendinitis after he was hit by a line drive in his last start – which has absolutely nothing to do with his injury, Weaver emphasized.

Weaver has lost three of his past five after a 16-1 start to the season.
