Alex Meyer allowed two runs in four innings and struck out five Wednesday in his start against the A's.

The Twins were going back and forth on Meyer as a starter or a reliever. The Angels tried him in the rotation this month after getting him in the Hector Santiago deal, and he had a 4.57 ERA and a 24/13 K/BB ratio in 21 2/3 innings over five starts. That should be good enough to keep him in the mix for a rotation spot next spring. The Angels aren't going to be able to be too picky. Sep 29 - 2:31 AM

Batters
Pos	Role	Name
C	1	Geovany Soto 15-Day DL Geovany Soto (knee) has yet to resume baseball activities. Soto remains limited to physical therapy as he works his way back from right knee inflammation. He's had issues with both knees this season, as well as a thumb ailment. Aug 28
	2	Jett Bandy

	4	Juan Graterol
1B	1	C.J. Cron
2B	1	Kaleb Cowart

LF	1	Nick Buss
	2	Shane Robinson
	3	Rafael Ortega
	4	Ji-Man Choi
CF	1	Mike Trout Sidelined X-rays on Mike Trout's left shoulder came back negative. Trout exited Wednesday's game against the A's after being hit in the shoulder blade by a pitch, but he's expected to be fine. The hope is that he'll be ready to go on Friday versus the Astros. Sep 29
RF	1	Kole Calhoun
DH	1	Albert Pujols Sidelined Angels manager Mike Scioscia announced Friday that Albert Pujols (foot) has been shut down for the remainder of the 2016 season. The 36-year-old slugger has battled plantar fasciitis throughout the season, and at this point it seems like a wise call to simply let him rest and start the recovery process. Pujols also said that he plans to return as a first baseman next season, as he doesn't enjoy serving as the DH full-time. He finishes the season hitting .268/.323/.457 with 31 homers and 119 RBI in 152 games. It's his highest RBI total since his MVP campaign in 2009 with the Cardinals. Sep 30
Starting Pitcher
Pos	Role	Name
S	1	Jered Weaver Sidelined Jered Weaver (back) plans to start as scheduled Sunday against the Astros. Weaver was forced to leave Monday's start against the Athletics after five scoreless innings due to lower back tightness, but it won't stop him from making perhaps his final start with the Angels. The veteran right-hander thinks he can pitch next season, but he has yet to make a final decision about his future. Weaver has an ugly 5.06 ERA in 31 starts this season. Sep 27
	2	Matt Shoemaker 60-Day DL Angels transferred RHP Matt Shoemaker to the 60-day disabled list. This is merely a paperwork move and will have no effect on Shoemaker, whose 2016 season was cut short after he suffered a small fracture to the skull when he was hit by a liner on September 4. He was forced to undergo emergency surgery in order to stop the bleeding. Sep 14
	3	Ricky Nolasco
	4	Tyler Skaggs Sidelined Tyler Skaggs (forearm) threw a successful bullpen session Tuesday. The next step for Skaggs could be a short start -- probably four or five innings -- this weekend against the Astros. The left-hander has been sidelined since September 9 due to a flexor pronator strain in his throwing arm. Look for something more official Wednesday after Skaggs is reevaluated by the Angels' medical staff. Sep 27
	5	Alex Meyer
	6	Garrett Richards 60-Day DL Garrett Richards (elbow) threw 20 pitches in a simulated inning on Wednesday. Richards has been on the shelf since May due to a torn right ulnar collateral ligament and obviously won't pitch in another major league game this season. "The ball is coming out of my hand good," he said after Wednesday's workout. "It’s got the same action as before, so that’s encouraging." Angels manager Mike Scioscia was pleased with his short performance, saying, "These are just baby steps right now, but it’s an important first step. He felt great during the workout. We don’t anticipate him doing anything but feeling good in the next couple days." Assuming no setbacks over the coming days, Richards could make an instructional league appearance on Monday. Sep 28
	7	Nick Tropeano 60-Day DL Angels transferred RHP Nick Tropeano from the 15-day disabled list to the 60-day disabled list. The move clears a spot on the 40-man roster for Cody Ege. Tropeano is headed for Tommy John surgery. Aug 12
	8	Andrew Heaney 60-Day DL Andrew Heaney (elbow) will undergo season-ending Tommy John surgery on Friday. The operation will be performed by Los Angeles-based surgeon Dr. Neal ElAttrache. Heaney received a stem cell injection two months ago in hopes of avoiding Tommy John surgery but it didn't make much of a difference. It's possible Heaney could return late next season but spring training of 2018 might be a more realistic timetable. Jun 30
	9	C.J. Wilson 60-Day DL C.J. Wilson will indeed undergo season-ending surgery on his left shoulder. It's been the likely scenario for a couple weeks, and the Angels finally made it official on Tuesday night. The surgery will attempt to address fraying on Wilson's left labrum and rotator cuff. It will be performed by Dr. Neal ElAttrache. Wilson, 35, did not make an appearance at the major league level in 2016 and is due to become a free agent this winter. He's probably going to have to settle for a non-guaranteed minor league contract if he wants to continue his playing career. Jul 6

	7	Huston Street 15-Day DL Huston Street underwent successful surgery on his right knee Wednesday. Street is done for the season, but it was an arthroscopic procedure -- not something more involved -- and the veteran right-hander is expected to be 100 percent by the beginning of spring training next February. He tweeted this from the hospital Wednesday morning: "Just got out of surgery, still pretty loopy, but the doc said I should come back throwing 98, but it could have been 89." Street, 33, finished the 2016 season with a rough 6.45 ERA, 1.93 WHIP, and 14/12 K/BB ratio in 22 1/3 innings. Fernando Salas is currently serving as the Angels' closer, by default. Aug 24
	8	Cam Bedrosian 15-Day DL Cam Bedrosian underwent surgery Tuesday on the embolus in his right armpit. Embolus is the scientific term for a blood clot. Bedrosian is expected to be able to resume full baseball activities in 6-8 weeks, so he should enter spring training next February at 100 percent health. The 24-year-old right-hander finished the 2016 season with a stellar 1.12 ERA and 51/14 K/BB ratio in 40 1/3 innings. Sep 6
