Carlos Zambrano - S - Phillies

Carlos Zambrano threw two scoreless innings and had five strikeouts Saturday in extended spring training.

The Phillies' current plan calls for Zambrano to pitch in another extended spring game next week before possibly sending him to a minor league affiliate. He was able to throw 44 pitches Saturday and will continue to be stretched out as a starter. Zambrano will be an option for the Phillies' rotation at some point this season.

Scott Cousins - OF - Angels

Angels designated OF Scott Cousins for assignment.

The Angels claimed Chris Nelson off waivers, so it's just a move to open a spot on the 40-man roster. Cousins should go through waivers unclaimed and remain in the organization.

Chris Nelson - 3B - Angels

Angels claimed INF Chris Nelson off waivers from the Yankees.

Nelson was DFA'd by the Yankees earlier this week and batted just .222 (8-for-36) with two doubles and two RBI in 10 games with the club. He should provide depth at third base behind Alberto Callaspo with the Angels. Scott Cousins has been dropped from the 40-man roster in a corresponding move.
