Getty Images Sean Burnett left Angels camp to undergo an MRI exam on his lower back soreness, but the results showed nothing serious and he’s expected to miss 4-5 days.
Burnett told reporters that he tweaked his back while picking up his 4-year-old son and putting him a shopping cart at the grocery store.
He has a history of back issues, so it’s something to keep an eye on after Burnett signed a two-year, $8 million deal with the Angels this offseason.

What, he can’t afford someone to come pick up his kid and put him in the shopping cart?

It’d be hilarious to find out that he was trying to leave the little brat in someone else’s shopping cart. Children are horrible.

I was about to say I’m an out of shape desk warrior who picks up his 4 1/2 year old kid every day, but I don’t have a history of back issues. Get well soon, Sean. Stop hurting yourselves, Angels relievers.

At least he wasn’t trying to startle his kid while picking him up. Then he REALLY could have gotten hurt.

…or jumping on a trampoline with him. Thinking about that Joba injury still makes me cringe.

I think the takeaway from this spring is the players should probably just leave the kids home.
