Bill Shaikin of the Los Angeles Times speculates that Joe Blanton could lose his rotation spot when Jered Weaver returns from the disabled list.
Weaver will make what could be his final extended spring training appearance on Wednesday, which is the same day Blanton is scheduled to start. It doesn't necessarily mean Blanton is the most vulnerable, but it would hardly be a surprise if he's given the boot considering his 0-7 record, 6.62 ERA and 1.97 WHIP. Jerome Williams is the other candidate to lose his spot, but he's out-pitched Blanton by a wide margin this season.
May 21 - 7:58 PM

Bill Shaikin on Twitter
The Royals blitzed Joe Blanton on Monday night for seven earned runs over 4 2/3 innings.
The right-hander struck out seven and didn't walk a batter, but the Royals were thoroughly unimpressed with his stuff, racking up 12 hits. If you're a glass-half-full guy or gal, we'll point out that Blanton entered the contest with three consecutive quality starts. While his peripherals suggest improvement is coming, Blanton simply can't get much worse than his 0-7 record or 6.46 ERA. If he can't get his act together Saturday against the White Sox, shouts for his rotation spot will intensify.
May 14 - 2:50 AM
Joe Blanton allowed three runs over 6 2/3 innings, but the Angels lost to the Astros on Wednesday.
The right-hander has now turned in quality starts in his last three outings and has three losses to show for it. What's more, the Angels have now lost every one of Blanton's starts this year. Blanton does deserve some of his fate, though -- he's now got a 5.66 ERA and 1.79 WHIP on the season. He's not a factor in mixed leagues at this point. He'll search for his first win Monday against the Royals.
May 8 - 11:59 PM
Joe Blanton dropped to 0-5 on the year by giving up three runs (two earned) in eight innings Thursday against the Orioles.
Blanton gave up eight hits and two walks while striking out three batters. He also managed his first 1-2-3 inning of the season. While he took the loss, it was easily his best outing as an Angel. He has a good chance to get in the win column next week against the Astros, but it's tough to trust him in standard mixed fantasy leagues.

Peter Bourjos
D.L.
Peter Bourjos (hamstring) has begun light jogging and batting practice.
Bourjos is increasing the pace of his workouts daily. He's likely to need a few minor league rehab games before returning to the Angels' lineup, but it looks likely that he'll return in early June. Hamstring injuries can tend to linger and pose a high re-injury risk however, so play it cautiously when re-inserting the speedy outfielder into your fantasy lineups.

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
D.L.
Angels manager Mike Scioscia said Kevin Jepsen (triceps) is "close" to rejoining the bullpen.
Jepsen, who has been out since mid-April with a triceps ailment, will make a third rehab appearance this week, but it sounds like it could be his final one. He'll return to middle relief for the Halos.

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.
