Franklin Barreto will be shut down for 4-6 weeks due to elbow inflammation. (Jack Harris on Twitter)
Fantasy Impact
Barreto has played well in spring training, slashing .350/.409/.650. It was likely going to be an uphill battle for Barreto to see regular playing time this year. Barreto's best path to playing time is as a super utility player. He and the Angels will now have to wait 4-6 weeks before Barreto can fulfill that role.
