Sean Burnett - R - Angels

Sean Burnett tossed a scoreless inning on Saturday afternoon in the Angels' 13-13 tie with the A's.

Burnett gave up two runs on four hits and only got one out in his Cactus League debut on Wednesday, so Saturday's outing was a sign of great progress. Burnett seems to be over the back injury that plagued him throughout late February early March. He'll serve in a setup role this season.

Sean Burnett - R - Angels

Sean Burnett surrendered two runs on four hits over just 1/3 of an inning in his Cactus League debut Wednesday.

It's obviously not an ideal way to start things out, but the important thing is that Burnett feels fine physically. The left-hander may vulture some saves early in the season while Ryan Madson makes his way back from elbow surgery.

Sean Burnett (back) will make his Cactus League debut Wednesday.

Burnett was bothered by some lower back stiffness, but he's past it now. As a reliever, it shouldn't take much work for him to get ready for the season.
