The Angels were counting on Heaney to help lead the rotation, but his elbow began to bother him after his first Cactus League start Feb. 26. He was scratched from a March 3 start but allowed to continue throwing when an MRI exam revealed no damage to his elbow. He made his second start March 8 and said he felt no lingering problems. But five days later, Heaney was stopped from throwing altogether. His elbow bothered him again, and the discomfort was enough to raise a red flag.
