Neck strain, 15-day injured list.

Kikuchi pitched 2.2 innings in a Cactus League game against the Dodgers on Friday, allowing two runs on three hits and one walk while striking out three batters.
Angels manager Ron Washington has named Kikuchi the team's Opening Day starter for their March 27 matchup against the White Sox, Jeff Fletcher of The Orange County Register reports.
Has the stuff to rack up impressive strikeout totals. Plus, he has deception in his delivery (which is typical for most Japanese hurlers). Lacks optimum size for a starting pitcher in Major League Baseball, so stamina may be an issue here. Needs to adjust to North American batters.
Long Range Potential: Quality left-hander.
