Street was placed on the 15-day disabled list Thursday with a strained left oblique.

Analysis:

Street said following Wednesday's game that he expected to land on the disabled list, and his hypothesis was proven correct Thursday. It's not yet clear how long he will be out, but there's a good chance he is sidelined beyond the first day he is eligible to be activated, May 9. Joe Smith is expected to fill in as the Angels' closer in Street's absence.
