Kevin Jepsen - R - Angels

Angels manager Mike Scioscia said Kevin Jepsen (triceps) is "close" to rejoining the bullpen.

Jepsen, who has been out since mid-April with a triceps ailment, will make a third rehab appearance this week, but it sounds like it could be his final one. He'll return to middle relief for the Halos.

Tommy Hanson - S - Angels

Jeff Fletcher of the Orange Country 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.

Jered Weaver - S - Angels

Angels manager Mike Scioscia said Jered Weaver (elbow) will rejoin the rotation next week as long as his between-starts bullpen session goes well.

Weaver didn't make any minor league rehab starts, but he pitched a few times in extended spring training, including on Wednesday when he struck out nine over 5 2/3 innings of one-run ball. He seems likely to start either next Monday or Tuesday against the Dodgers, putting him in line for a two-start week.

C.J. Wilson - S - Angels

C.J. Wilson allowed just one run over eight innings of the Angels' 7-1 win over the Mariners on Wednesday.

Wilson had pitched well in three losses prior to Wednesday's start, so he took matters into his own hands against the Mariners. Wilson struck out 10 batters in his eight innings, and he now owns a 3.39 ERA through 10 starts. He'll take his next turn Monday against the Dodgers.

Alberto Callaspo - 3B - Angels

Alberto Callaspo went 2-for-4 with two runs scored in the Angels' win over the Mariners on Wednesday.

Callaspo scored twice and drove in two runs, and he's now got a .277/.330/.415 line. Against the odds, he's been one of the Angels' better hitters thus far, and he's been finding his way into the lineup more often in recent weeks.

Jered Weaver - S - Angels

Jered Weaver (elbow) threw 5 2/3 innings Wednesday afternoon in a start at extended spring training.

Weaver allowed just one run and did not walk a batter while striking out nine. He threw 75 pitches, 62 of which were strikes. The right-hander is likely to rejoin the Angels' starting rotation early next week after missing the past month-plus with a fractured left elbow.

Ryan Madson - R - Angels

Ryan Madson has experienced yet another setback in his recovery from Tommy John elbow surgery.

Madson felt renewed soreness in his right arm while trying to throw this week and has been shut down indefinitely. There is no longer a timetable for his return and he can be dropped in most fantasy formats at this point. Ernesto Frieri is the Angels' ninth-inning man.

Mike Trout - OF - Angels

Mike Trout homered in the eighth inning Tuesday to complete his first cycle in the Angels' 12-0 massacre of the Mariners.

Trout struck out in his first at-bat, but he singled, tripled and doubled afterwards before delivered his ninth homer off Lucas Luetge in the eighth. He drove in five runs in all, and he became the youngest player to hit for the cycle since Mel Ott in 1929. Trout has his average up to .293, and he's currently on pace to finish the season with 32 homers, 112 runs scored, 122 RBI and 32 steals.

Jerome Williams - R - Angels

Jerome Williams blanked the Mariners for eight innings to win Tuesday night.

Williams has been a savior for the Angels, going 3-1 with a 2.30 ERA in four starts and seven relief appearances. He now figures to keep his rotation spot after Jered Weaver returns. AL-only leaguers should keep riding him with the Royals and Astros next on the schedule.
May 22 - 1:12 AM
Josh Hamilton - OF - Angels

Josh Hamilton went 2-for-5 and hit a two-run homer off Aaron Harang on Tuesday.

Before the homer, Hamilton hadn't driven anyone except himself since April 29. It gave him his first multi-RBI game since April 14. Hamilton, though, is hitting better in May than he did early on; he's batting .250 with four homers and four doubles in 68 at-bats.

Joe Blanton - S - Angels

Bill Shaikin of the Los Angeles Times speculates that Joe Blanton could lose his rotation spot when Jered Weaver returns from the disabled list.

Weaver will make what could be his final extended spring training appearance on Wednesday, which is the same day Blanton is scheduled to start. It doesn't necessarily mean Blanton is the most vulnerable, but it would hardly be a surprise if he's given the boot considering his 0-7 record, 6.62 ERA and 1.97 WHIP. Jerome Williams is the other candidate to lose his spot, but he's out-pitched Blanton by a wide margin this season.

Jered Weaver - S - Angels

Angels manager Mike Scioscia said it's possible Jered Weaver (elbow) could be activated after his appearance at extended spring training on Wednesday.

That would put him in line to rejoin the rotation early next week, which would be a little earlier than expected. Weaver is coming back from a fractured left (non-throwing) elbow and appears to be fully healed, so it's all about getting his stamina up at this point. The Los Angeles Times' Bill Shaikin speculates that he could replace Joe Blanton in the rotation.

Tommy Hanson - S - Angels

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.

Sean Burnett - R - Angels

Angels activated LHP Sean Burnett from the 15-day disabled list.

Burnett wound up missing a little over three weeks with discomfort in his left forearm. He will return to his role as a setup man and left-handed relief specialist.
May 21 - 5:24 PM
Ryan Brasier - R - Angels

Angels optioned RHP Ryan Brasier to Triple-A Salt Lake.

Brasier was only up in the bigs for five days this time around. He will probably be back and forth all summer.
