Angels released RHP Hiroyuki Kobayashi.
The Angels signed Kobayashi to a minor league contract in late January but apparently weren't very impressed with him this spring in camp. The 34-year-old right-hander posted a 3.00 ERA and 45/19 K/BB ratio over 39 innings in 2011 for the Hanshin Tigers of Japan's Central League. He did not pitch in 2012.

Angels signed RHP Hiroyuki Kobayashi to a minor league contract.
The deal is expected to include an invitation to spring training. Kobayashi, 34, posted a 3.00 ERA and 45/19 K/BB ratio over 39 innings in 2011 for the Hanshin Tigers of Japan's Central League but did not appear in a game last year. He's put up a 3.65 ERA and 493/151 K/BB ratio over 543 innings during his career in Japan.
Jan 31 - 7:45 PM
The Los Angeles Times' Mike DiGiovanna reports that the Angels are nearing a minor league deal with Japanese reliever Hiroyuki Kobayashi.
The deal presumably would include an invitation to spring training. Kobayashi, 34, posted a 3.00 ERA and 45/19 K/BB ratio over 39 innings in 2011 for the Hanshin Tigers of Japan's Central League but did not appear in a game last year.

Updating an earlier item, D-backs GM Kevin Towers has denied his team is planning to make an offer to Japanese right-hander Hiroyuki Kobayashi.
Sponichi, a Japanese website, reported that the D-backs had a two-year, $3 million offer ready for Kobayashi. It doesn't necessarily mean Arizona isn't interested in the right-hander, only that they just aren't prepared to make an offer just yet.

Peter Bourjos
D.L.
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.

Jered Weaver
D.L.
Jered Weaver (elbow) is scheduled to pitch in a game at extended spring training on Wednesday.
Weaver was hoping to embark on a minor league rehab assignment, but the Angels want him to throw one more time in a controlled environment at their spring training complex in Arizona. He is still on track to return to the Anaheim rotation at some point in early June.

Tommy Hanson could rejoin the Angels' rotation on May 25.
Hanson's been away from the team since early May due to the death of his step-brother. The Angels will use their off day next Monday to skip the No. 5 starter before hopefully getting Hanson back that weekend.

Ryan Madson
D.L.
Ryan Madson (elbow) will move his rehab assignment up to Triple-A Salt Lake on Thursday and will remain there for "several weeks."
Madson thinks he's ready to be activated now, but the Angels have decided to slow things down in order to avoid re-injury. The reliever said he respects the team's decision but thinks he can "pitch here today and get people out. That's just how I feel." It sounds like he won't join the Halos' bullpen until sometime next month.

Sean Burnett

Sean Burnett reported no pain in his left forearm after playing catch on Sunday afternoon.
Burnett made his first minor league rehab appearance on Saturday and came out of it feeling fine. He is on track to return to the Angels' bullpen early this week.

Kevin Jepsen
D.L.
Kevin Jepsen (triceps) is expected to begin a rehab assignment early next week.
Jepsen has been sidelined since April 12 with a strained right shoulder, but resumed throwing from a mound last weekend and hasn't had any setbacks. He remains on track to return from the DL sometime later this month.

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.
