A season marred by injury kept Andrelton Simmons from winning his fifth career Gold Glove. It was announced Sunday that the Angels shortstop, who had won the award for two consecutive years, relinquished his claim to the hardware to Cleveland’s Francisco Lindor. No Angels player won a Gold Glove for their 2019 efforts. Nominees Mike Trout (center field), David Fletcher (third base) and Kole Calhoun (right field) also were shut out of the league’s premier defensive awards in their categories. Trout, who is a favorite to be named the American League’s most valuable player, has never won a Gold Glove.
