  MINNEAPOLIS — The All-Star break is coming at a bad time for Alex Meyer.
  Meyer was optioned to Triple-A on Tuesday, a day after his latest rough outing. It’s a combination of Meyer needing to “work on things,” Manager Mike Scioscia said, and the Angels needing only four starters because of an off-day and next week’s All-Star break.

  It’s easy to see why Mike Trout sought to make the All-Star Game his first post-thumb-injury game. Nobody has more fun playing baseball than Trout, and the All-Star Game is the most-fun event in the sport. But all along the targeted first game should have been an Angels game.
