Winless Hector Santiago has been removed from the starting rotation by the Angels, a source has told the Los Angeles Times. That news has yet to be confirmed.
The finals straw might have been when he walked off the mound before Mike Scioscia arrived after his removal in the third inning of his last start.
Santiago is 0-6 with a 5.18 ERA with 18 walks in 34 2/3 innings.
