Los Angeles Angels ace Jered Weaver left his start against the New York Yankees in the first inning Monday night after only 12 pitches and failing to record an out.
The Angels announced Weaver suffered a lower-back injury.
They later said they will wait until Weaver undergoes an MRI and X-rays Tuesday before deciding whether they will put him on the 15-day disabled list, but the All-Star right-hander said he was still in considerable pain nearly four hours after leaving the game, even after team doctors administered muscle relaxers.
