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 - 7:36 PM

Angels placed OF Peter Bourjos on the 15-day disabled list with a strained left hamstring.

It's not clear at this time how long the speedy outfielder will be sidelined. J.B. Shuck and Scott Cousins will see time in left field while Bourjos is out, with Mike Trout handling center field. The Halos could also use Mark Trumbo in the outfield some.

Peter Bourjos - OF - Angels

Peter Bourjos (hamstring) will be placed on the 15-day disabled list.

Bourjos strained his left hamstring Monday while legging out a sacrifice bunt in the 11th inning. It's too bad, as Bourjos has thrived since taking over the leadoff spot. Erick Aybar (heel) will be activated from the disabled list Tuesday in a corresponding roster move.

Peter Bourjos - OF - Angels

Peter Bourjos left Monday's game in the 11th inning with an apparent left hamstring injury.

The Angels have little outfield depth after trading Vernon Wells. They can play J.B. Shuck in center or left, but their best offensive lineup would have Mark Trumbo in left and Hank Conger at DH. Bill Hall could be a candidate for a callup if Bourjos lands on the DL.

Peter Bourjos has been playing the last week and a half with tightness in the back of his throwing shoulder.

Peter Bourjos went 3-for-4 with a three-run triple and a run scored in Friday's win over the Tigers.

Bourjos had three hits combined over his previous six games, so this was nice to see. The 26-year-old is not a good fit for the leadoff spot with Erick Aybar (heel) sidelined, but he has enough pop and speed to be interesting in deeper mixed leagues.

Peter Bourjos is not in the Angels' starting lineup on Wednesday night against the Twins.

It's just a day off for Bourjos, who is batting .220 with a .256 on-base percentage in 11 games. The Angels have not been pleased with his production at leadoff.

Peter Bourjos went hitless in the leadoff spot Friday, finishing 0-for-3 with a HBP in the loss to the Astros.

After getting shut out tonight, maybe the Angels will shake things up again Saturday. Albert Pujols leading off, Josh Hamilton hitting ninth, Hank Conger at shortstop...

Angels manager Mike Scioscia has juggled his starting lineup for Friday's contest against the Astros, with Peter Bourjos hitting leadoff.

Peter Bourjos had a pair of hits, including his second spring home run, in a losing effort against the Mariners on Friday afternoon.

Bourjos finished the contest 2-for-3. He enters the season as the Angels everyday starter in center field, and has come out of the gate strong this spring, hitting .364 (12-for-33) with two homers, nine RBI and a steal through 12 games. He possesses a dynamic combination of power and speed that makes him a very attractive target in the later rounds of fantasy drafts.

Peter Bourjos launched his first Cactus League homer and added a single in Wednesday's loss to the Padres.

The two-run shot came off of left-hander Clayton Richard. Bourjos is now batting .333 with a homer, three triples and eight RBI this spring. He's only a career .247/.301/.402 hitter but offers an intriguing mix of power and speed that makes him a late-round option in fantasy leagues.

Peter Bourjos knocked in three runs with a bases-loaded triple in Friday's 16-8 win over the Dodgers.

It was part of a seven-run third inning for the Angels. After spending last season as a reserve outfielder, Bourjos is expected to serve as the club's starting center fielder in 2013. His batting average is unlikely to be a strength, but his power-speed combo should prove useful in deeper mixed fantasy leagues.

Peter Bourjos will not undergo surgery on his right hip this offseason.

Bourjos said during spring training that he would likely need surgery after the season, but that's no longer the case. In fact, the 25-year-old is now considering playing winter ball in the Dominican Republic. Bourjos was limited to just 195 plate appearances this season and could be a popular trade target this winter.

Peter Bourjos has been dealing with "intestinal problems" lately, according to Angels manager Mike Sciosica.

Bourjos pinch-ran and scored a run Thursday, but he's had just one plate appearance since being activated from the disabled list earlier this month. It appears that he might be limited to being a pinch-runner and defensive replacement down the stretch.
