The Angels will now welcome Tampa Bay Rays to town for a three game series. Lyle Spencer takes a look at the similarities the teams have with each other. Namely speed. Lots of speed.
Erick Aybar has improved his game by leaps and bounds this season. Through Sunday, the shortstop was batting .396 over his previous 25 games, including 13 multi-hit efforts.
Kevin Baxter of the LA Times takes a look at how Garret Anderson has done with his new team the Atlanta Braves.
The Angels are leaning toward using Trevor Bell in place of Joe Saunders for Wednesday’s game. Bell was drafted in the supplementary first round in 2005 amateur draft.
In case you missed it, Saunders was placed on the disabled list after Friday’s nights game with a sore shoulder. Tony Reagins will have to adjust the 40 man roster to accommodate Bell. Moving RHP Anthony Ortega to the 60 day disabled list seems to be the most likely move.
Jose Arredondo is back with the team and hopes to contribute. With Kevin Jepsen and Jason Bulger stepping up the bullpen could become a strength again for the club.
