After having his last start skipped, Joe Blanton allowed two runs in 6 2/3 innings and struck out 11 against the Mariners on Tuesday.
That's a nice Quality Start for Blanton, but he still gave up two more homers (Raul Ibanez and Justin Smoak went back-to-back in the second inning), bringing his season total to 15 surrendered in 83 1/3 innings. He has pitched effectively in four of his last five outings, but an easier schedule has had a lot to do with that.
Jun 19 - 1:57 AM
Joe Blanton will start for the Angels on Tuesday against the Mariners.
Blanton was skipped over the weekend, but he hasn't lost his spot in the rotation, at least not yet. He holds a 5.87 ERA and 1.63 WHIP for the season but has, for the most part, pitched better of late.

Joe Blanton will be skipped in the Angels' rotation this weekend against the Yankees.
That means C.J. Wilson, Tommy Hanson, and Jered Weaver will start this weekend. Blanton was smoked for seven runs (six earned) in five innings last time out and owns a disappointing 5.87 ERA through 13 starts this year.
Jun 12 - 10:59 AM

Mike DiGiovanna on Twitter
Joe Blanton struck out 11 and allowed two runs over eight innings but took a loss Monday against the Astros.
It was his first double-digit strikeout game since 2009 and bested his previous season-high by four. Despite the great effort, Blanton falls to 1-9 for the season. The good news for the right-hander is that he holds a 2.95 ERA over his last three starts, which should be good enough to hold off Jerome Williams for the fifth spot in the rotation. He’ll face the Red Sox in Boston this weekend.

Ryan Madson
D.L.
Ryan Madson (elbow) could resume throwing from a mound by this weekend or early next week.
Madson has had multiple setbacks in his recovery from Tommy John surgery, so there's obviously no timetable for his return at this point. If he encounters another speed bump along the way, he could wind up shutting things down.

Scott Downs

Sean Burnett
D.L.
Sean Burnett does not need surgery on his injured left elbow but will be shut down for the next month.
Burnett paid a visit to Dr. James Andrews on Tuesday and received mostly good news. The lefty reliever had a 0.93 ERA in 9 2/3 innings this season before hitting the shelf. He is on the disabled list indefinitely.

Robert Coello (elbow) will be shut down from throwing for the next four weeks due to soreness in his elbow and shoulder.
The 28-year-old right-hander was making a strong impression in the Angels' bullpen before the elbow soreness set in. He won't be ready to return until after the All-Star break.
Jun 14

Andrew Taylor
D.L.
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.
