Availability
The Angels have placed right-hander Ryan Johnson on the 15-day injured list with a viral infection.
Fantasy Impact
Johnson was scratched from Sunday's start against the Marlins due to an illness and will now get some time to fully recover before returning. The 23-year-old was shelled for six earned runs across 3 1/3 innings in his season debut against the Cubs on March 30 after posting a 7.36 ERA in 14 relief outings for the Angels last season.

It is unclear when Johnson will make his next start. George Klassen made the start in his place.
Ryan Johnson allowed six runs on seven hits in 3.1 innings in his first career start on Monday as the Angels dropped a 7-2 decision to the Cubs.
Fantasy Impact
Johnson had a great spring, posting a 3.05 ERA in 20.2 innings to crack the Opening Day roster. However, he allowed three runs in the first and three more in the third and never got going against the Cubs' offense. The young righthander walked four and struck out two and needed 80 pitches to record 10 outs. Johnson was used as a reliever last season, appearing in 14 games at the big league level. He may just be keeping the fifth spot in the rotation warm until Grayson Rodriguez is able to join the staff.

Ryan Johnson surrendered one earned run on three hits over one inning of relief Tuesday against the Rangers, striking out two.
Fantasy Impact
Johnson was hit hard in a short stint, raising his ERA to 9.00 with a 3.00 WHIP. He’s not currently on the fantasy radar but could enter the conversation in deeper formats if his role grows and command improves.
