Tommy Hanson - S - Angels

Tommy Hanson is scheduled to throw 75 pitches Saturday in an extended spring training game.

Hanson has been away from the team since early May due to a death in the family. Since he's had such a long layoff, the assumption is that he'll make at least one more extended spring training start before rejoining the Angels. That means he won't be back until June 4 at the earliest. Hanson is 2-1 with a 3.86 ERA and 17/9 K/BB ratio through his first 28 innings with the Angels.

Jeff Fletcher of the Orange County Register reports that Tommy Hanson "could be weeks away" from rejoining the Angels' rotation.

Hanson has been away from the team since early May due to the death of his step-brother, and he's now in extended spring training trying to regain his stamina. It sounds like Halos fans will have to deal with Joe Blanton for a while longer.

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.

Tommy Hanson has been scratched from his start Wednesday against the Royals.

Hanson was placed on the bereavement list Friday following the death of his step-brother and is still on an excused absence. Barry Enright gave up five runs in a spot start on Friday but will get the nod again in Hanson's place.

Tommy Hanson will miss his scheduled start Friday following the death of his step-brother.

No word yet on who will replace him. Garrett Richards threw an inning tonight, which would seem to rule him out as an option. Jerome Williams is still slated to start Saturday. Barry Enright could be a possibility.

Tommy Hanson yielded three earned runs over five innings Saturday in the Angels' loss to the Orioles.

Hanson escaped with a no-decision because the O's didn't finalize the victory until the 10th inning. He allowed seven hits -- including two home runs -- while walking two and striking out three. The 26-year-old right-hander owns an underwhelming 4.18 ERA, 1.46 WHIP and 17/9 K/BB ratio through his first 28 innings with the Angels. He will try for better next week against the White Sox.

Tommy Hanson held the Athletics to two runs over six innings but lost a win after the Angels' bullpen allowed five runs over the eighth and ninth innings.

Hanson struck out six and gave up just five hits and one walk. Though his 14/7 K/BB ratio over 23 innings leaves a lot to be desired, Hanson has now posted a quality start in three of four tries this season. He’ll take a 3.91 ERA and 1.39 WHIP into a start against the Orioles this weekend.

Angels placed RHP Tommy Hanson on the bereavement list.

Hanson had been scheduled to start Wednesday, but he won't get the ball then since he has to spend at least three days on the bereavement list. The Angels could push him back to Thursday, though it's unclear at the moment what their plans are. Jerome Williams is an option to make a spot start Wednesday.

Tommy Hanson spun six scoreless frames Friday in an 8-1 win over the Tigers.

It was Hanson's first scoreless outing in 43 starts dating back to June 7, 2011. While it was an encouraging outing on the surface, he threw just 57 out of 102 pitches for strikes while issuing four walks and registering just two strikeouts. We'll need to see more before trusting him in shallow mixed leagues. He'll try to keep it going next Wednesday against the Rangers.

Tommy Hanson surrendered five runs in five innings Friday in a loss to the Astros.

Hanson's stuff isn't what it was, and he seems like a fourth starter at best for a major league team right now. AL-only leaguers can leave him active since he'll get a favorable start in Minnesota next week.
