Alberto Callaspo - 3B - Angels

Alberto Callaspo (calf) is feeling better but doesn't expect to be activated until the Angels return home late next week.

Callaspo is eligible to be activated on Saturday, but obviously he won't be ready at that time. Luis Jimenez will continue to man the hot corner for the Halos for the next week.

Apr 25 - 8:37 PM

Alberto Callaspo - 3B - Angels

Angels placed 3B Alberto Callaspo on the 15-day disabled list, retroactive to April 11, with right calf tightness.

This move doesn't come as a major surprise, as Callaspo just wasn't improving quickly enough. Luis Jimenez will continue to man the hot corner for the Halos until Callspo returns, which could be as soon as April 27.

Apr 19 - 6:45 PM

Alberto Callaspo - 3B - Angels

Alberto Callaspo still felt tightness in his right calf when he tried to run on Thursday.

The Angels will make a decision Friday on what to do with Callaspo, and it sounds like they'll probably have to put him on the disabled list. They can backdate the move and bring the infielder back as soon as April 27.

Alberto Callaspo - 3B - Angels

Alberto Callaspo (calf) will not play in the series against the Twins.

The Angels will give Callaspo until Thursday's off day for his right calf to improve. If he hasn't made enough strides at that point, he'll be placed on the disabled list. The infielder hasn't played since last Thursday due to the ailment.

Alberto Callaspo - 3B - Angels

Alberto Callaspo (calf) is out of the Angels' lineup for the fourth straight game on Monday.

Callaspo hasn't played since Thursday because of tightness in his right calf. He's still listed on the lineup card as an extra, so the Angels aren't placing him on the disabled list yet. They likely can't go short-handed much longer, though. Luis Jimenez is playing third base again Monday.

Alberto Callaspo (calf) might require a stint on the 15-day disabled list.

Callaspo hasn't played since Thursday because of tightness in his right calf. If he doesn't make ample improvement early this week, the Angels will have no choice. Luis Jimenez has been handling the hot corner.

Alberto Callaspo - 3B - Angels

Alberto Callaspo clubbed a two-run homer in Monday's 11-5 win over the White Sox.

It was Callaspo's first home run of the spring. The 29-year-old is hitting a cool .340 (17-for-50) during Cactus League play and is expected to serve as the Angels' starting third baseman in 2013. However, with only modest pop and minimal speed, he doesn't offer much appeal outside of AL-only fantasy leagues.

Mar 25 - 7:41 PM

Alberto Callaspo - 3B - Angels

Angels and 3B Alberto Callaspo avoided arbitration by agreeing to a two-year, $8.975 million contract.

The deal covers the third baseman's final year of arbitration eligibility and his first year of free agency. Callaspo, 29, hit .252/.331/.361 with 10 home runs and 53 RBI in 138 games last season for the Angels. He may carry fantasy value this summer in deeper mixed formats.

Alberto Callaspo - 3B - Angels

The Angels are nearing agreement on a two-year contract with infielder Alberto Callaspo, according to beat writer Jeff Fletcher of the Orange County Register.

The deal, if finalized under the reported terms, will buy out Callaspo's final season of arbitration eligibility and his first year of free agency. MLB.com's Alden Gonzalez says it's worth around $9 million. Callaspo, 29, batted .252/.331/.361 with 10 homers and 53 RBI in 138 games last season for the Angels. He will serve as Anaheim's regular third baseman for the foreseeable future.

CF	1	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. May 10

S	1	Jered Weaver D.L. Angels manager Mike Scioscia said it's possible Jered Weaver (elbow) could be activated after his appearance at extended spring training on Wednesday. That would put him in line to rejoin the rotation early next week, which would be a little earlier than expected. Weaver is coming back from a fractured left (non-throwing) elbow and appears to be fully healed, so it's all about getting his stamina up at this point. The Los Angeles Times' Bill Shaikin speculates that he could replace Joe Blanton in the rotation. May 21

	5	Tommy Hanson D.L. 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.

Relief Pitcher

R	1	Ernesto Frieri
	2	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. May 15
	3	Scott Downs
	4	Sean Burnett
	5	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. May 18

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. Apr 9
