Erick Aybar went 2-for-4 and hit his first homer of the year Friday against the Astros.
Aybar finished with eight homers in 517 at-bats last year. This year, his first homer came in his 135th at-bat. He's been a fantasy bust despite getting all of his starts at the top of the order thus far. He figures to be dropped down to the bottom of the Angels lineup after Peter Bourjos comes back.

Erick Aybar - SS - Angels

Erick Aybar went 0-for-4 in Friday's loss and is just 11-for-51 this month.

That .216 average is also his on-base percentage for the month, since his one walk this season came on April 30. He's also 0-for-1 stealing bases this month. Aybar is only back in the leadoff spot because Peter Bourjos is hurt. He'll probably be dropped to seventh or lower once Bourjos is activated.

Erick Aybar - SS - Angels

Erick Aybar (heel) will play at least one more extended spring training game in Arizona on Sunday before he returns from the 15-day disabled list.

Aybar, who has been sidelined since April 9 with a bruised heel, had hoped to return to the Angels' starting lineup over the weekend. But he's being held back just a bit. Look for the talented shortstop to rejoin the Halos for their upcoming series against the A's in Oakland.

Erick Aybar - SS - Angels

Erick Aybar (heel) will play one more extended spring training game in Arizona on Saturday before being activated from the disabled list.

Aybar has been sidelined since April 9 with a bruised heel. He was the Angels' No. 2 hitter prior to the injury, but it's unclear where Mike Scioscia will put him now that Mike Trout is hitting there. Peter Bourjos has performed well out of the leadoff spot, so it's possible that Aybar could be in the bottom-third of the order initially.
