But Pena’s position with the Angels might be in jeopardy. Now that left-hander Andrew Heaney is on the cusp of shaking the elbow inflammation that cost him the first quarter of the season, the Angels face a rotation quandary. They can send Griffin Canning, the 23-year-old who has 10 strikeouts per nine innings and is scheduled to make his fifth major league start Friday, back to the triple-A Salt Lake Bees. Alternatively, they could cut bait on veterans or shuffle some bullpen arms and move Pena into a relief role.
