Angels' Dexter Fowler to undergo season-ending surgery for torn ACL

The Los Angeles Angels will be without outfielder Dexter Fowler for the remainder of the 2021 season. He will undergo season-ending surgery for a torn ACL in his left knee, the club announced Sunday. 

The Angels placed Fowler on the injured list after he was carted off during Friday's game against the Toronto Blue Jays.

L.A. acquired Fowler during the offseason in a trade with the St. Louis Cardinals. The 35-year-old finishes with a .250/.286/.250 slash line and one RBI on five hits. He'll become a free agent after the 2021 campaign. 

Juan Lagares and Jared Walsh could see more playing time with Fowler done for the season.
