Angels purchased the contract of RHP Billy Buckner from Triple-A Salt Lake.
Barry Enright was designated for assignment in order to make room for him on the active roster. Buckner, 29, has a 4.56 ERA and 40/25 K/BB ratio in 47 1/3 innings over eight starts this season in Triple-A and will operate in middle relief.
May 16 - 5:52 PM
Angels signed RHP Billy Buckner to a minor league contract.
It's not clear whether he'll be given a spring training invite. Buckner put up a 3.65 ERA over 27 starts in the Red Sox' minor league system this season but hasn't toed a major league rubber since 2010. He'll start the year at Triple-A.
Wed, Nov 14, 2012 10:12:00 PM
Red Sox signed RHP Billy Buckner to a minor league contract.
We know what you're thinking, but no, there's no relation. Buckner, 28, had a 6.03 ERA over 109 innings last season with the Rockies' Triple-A affiliate and owns an awful 6.25 ERA in 138 1/3 career major league innings. He has been assigned to minor league camp and will function as organization depth for Boston.

Rockies signed RHP Billy Buckner to a minor league contract.
Buckner has a 6.25 ERA in 138 1/3 career major league innings, including an 11.08 mark in 13 innings in 2010. He also posted a 6.25 ERA in 80 2/3 Triple-A innings. He's still just 27 but doesn't stand much of a chance to make the opening day roster.

Peter Bourjos
D.L.
Peter Bourjos (hamstring) continues to receive treatment in Arizona, and will rejoin the team when they return to Anaheim on Monday.
Even the most optimistic of time frames have Bourjos returning to the lineup at the end of May or beginning of June. Hamstring injuries can be extremely detrimental to players like Bourjos who rely so heavily on their speed, as they tend to linger and pose a high re-injury risk. J.B. Shuck will continue to see additional time in left field while Bourjos is sidelined.

Jered Weaver
D.L.
Jered Weaver (elbow) is scheduled to pitch in a game at extended spring training on Wednesday.
Weaver was hoping to embark on a minor league rehab assignment, but the Angels want him to throw one more time in a controlled environment at their spring training complex in Arizona. He is still on track to return to the Anaheim rotation at some point in early June.

Tommy Hanson could rejoin the Angels' rotation on May 25.
Hanson's been away from the team since early May due to the death of his step-brother. The Angels will use their off day next Monday to skip the No. 5 starter before hopefully getting Hanson back that weekend.

Ryan Madson
D.L.
Ryan Madson (elbow) will move his rehab assignment up to Triple-A Salt Lake on Thursday and will remain there for "several weeks."
Madson thinks he's ready to be activated now, but the Angels have decided to slow things down in order to avoid re-injury. The reliever said he respects the team's decision but thinks he can "pitch here today and get people out. That's just how I feel." It sounds like he won't join the Halos' bullpen until sometime next month.

Sean Burnett reported no pain in his left forearm after playing catch on Sunday afternoon.
Burnett made his first minor league rehab appearance on Saturday and came out of it feeling fine. He is on track to return to the Angels' bullpen early this week.

Kevin Jepsen
D.L.
Kevin Jepsen (triceps) is expected to begin a rehab assignment early next week.
Jepsen has been sidelined since April 12 with a strained right shoulder, but resumed throwing from a mound last weekend and hasn't had any setbacks. He remains on track to return from the DL sometime later this month.

Angels transferred LHP Andrew Taylor from the 15-day disabled list to the 60-day disabled list.
Taylor was diagnosed with a small tear in his labrum last month. While he won't need surgery, it's unclear how long he'll be sidelined. The 26-year-old posted a 4.27 ERA and 56/25 K/BB ratio over 59 innings between Double- and Triple-A last year.
