Alberto Callaspo - 3B - Angels

Alberto Callaspo went 2-for-4 with two runs scored in the Angels' win over the Mariners on Wednesday.

Callaspo scored twice and drove in two runs, and he's now got a .277/.330/.415 line. Against the odds, he's been one of the Angels' better hitters thus far, and he's been finding his way into the lineup more often in recent weeks.

May 22 - 10:01 PM

Alberto Callaspo - 3B - Angels

Angels activated 3B Alberto Callaspo from the 15-day disabled list.

Callaspo went 2-for-7 with a home run and three RBI during a three-game rehab assignment with High-A Inland Empire and will return to action Friday against the Orioles. The 30-year-old has been sidelined since April 11 due to right calf tightness. The Angels optioned infielder Andrew Romine to Triple-A Salt Lake in a corresponding roster move.

May 3 - 5:41 PM

Alberto Callaspo - 3B - Angels

Alberto Callaspo (calf) is scheduled to play a full rehab game with High-A Inland Empire on Thursday.

Assuming it goes well, Callaspo should be activated prior to Friday's game. He's been out since mid-April with right calf tightness.

May 2 - 10:26 PM

Alberto Callaspo - 3B - Angels

Alberto Callaspo (calf) went 2-for-4 with a home run on Wednesday afternoon at High-A Inland Empire.

Callaspo is likely to be activated from the 15-day disabled list on Thursday. The third baseman has been out since April 11 with tightness in his right calf muscle.

May 1 - 5:15 PM

Alberto Callaspo - 3B - Angels

Alberto Callaspo (calf) will begin a rehab assignment at High-A Inland Empire on Tuesday.

He'll be activated by the end of the week if he can avoid setbacks. Callaspo has been sidelined since April 11 with right calf tightness.

Apr 28 - 2:30 PM

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.

Apr 19 - 11:00 AM

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.

Apr 15 - 7:55 PM

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.

Apr 15 - 5:03 PM

Alberto Callaspo - 3B - Angels

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 (calf) is out of the Angels' starting lineup on Friday.

Callaspo left Thursday's game against the A's after seven innings due to tightness in his right calf and wasn't feeling well enough to go on Friday. Luis Jimenez was recalled from Triple-A Salt Lake on Friday and will start in Callaspo's place.

Alberto Callaspo - 3B - Angels

Alberto Callaspo left Thursday's game against the Athletics after seven innings due to tightness in his right calf.

The Angels' new leadoff man went 0-for-3 before being replaced by Brendan Harris at third base. He's considered day-to-day.

Apr 12 - 12:53 AM

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.

	2	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. Jun 17

	4	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. Jun 11

	9	Robert Coello D.L. 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
	10	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. Apr 9
