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 since being traded. 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.
May 18 - 2:18 PM
Yankees designated INF Chris Nelson for assignment.
He was cleared to make room for David Adams on the active roster. Nelson was acquired from the Rockies two weeks ago and batted .222 (8-for-36) with two doubles and two RBI in 10 games with the club. He should draw some interest on waivers.
May 15 - 4:00 PM
Yankees acquired INF Chris Nelson from the Rockies in exchange for cash or player to be named later.
Nelson is a solid fit in New York with both Alex Rodriguez and Kevin Youkilis on the disabled list. He figures to see most of the starts at third base while Youk is on the DL, moving Jayson Nix back into a utility role. Nelson can also back up at second base and at shortstop in a pinch.
May 1 - 10:27 PM
Andy McCullough of the Newark Star-Ledger reports that the Yankees have expressed interest in Chris Nelson.
But McCullough thinks the Yankees will wait until Nelson clears waivers before attempting to acquire him. The 27-year-old infielder was designated for assignment by Colorado on Sunday to clear a roster spot for top prospect Nolan Arenado. Nelson owns a .279/.322/.416 career batting line at the major league level.

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) threw 5 2/3 innings Wednesday afternoon in a start at extended spring training.
Weaver allowed just one run and did not walk a batter while striking out nine. He threw 75 pitches, 62 of which were strikes. The right-hander is likely to rejoin the Angels' starting rotation early next week after missing the past month-plus with a fractured left elbow.

Angels manager Mike Scioscia said that Tommy Hanson would "most likely not" start on Saturday in Kansas City.
Hanson has been away from the team since early May due to the death of his step-brother. The Halos were hoping he'd be ready to rejoin the rotation on Saturday, but he needs to get some work in at extended spring training first. The right-hander seems like to return sometime next week.

Ryan Madson
D.L.
Ryan Madson has experienced yet another setback in his recovery from Tommy John elbow surgery.
Madson felt renewed soreness in his right arm while trying to throw this week and has been shut down indefinitely. There is no longer a timetable for his return and he can be dropped in most fantasy formats at this point. Ernesto Frieri is the Angels' ninth-inning man.

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.
