Word out of internetland is that Robert Coello, a bright spot in the Angels bullpen for the past month, is going to the disabled list with a sore shoulder. Dane De La Rosa is replacing him in the pen and should be in uniform tonight with the team in Baltimore. Talk about your frequent flyer miles!
Sean Burnett is back to not even throwing a ball for a month as of today after his visit with Doctor James Andrews.
Tuesday's lineup features a different old man getting a rest as Albert goes into the field to man the cold corner so that Hambone cna take a day off his aging legs. With Jason Vargas pitching, you would assume that the better flyball defenders are the go-to options but with Vargas being a lefty, the likelihood of those fly balls sailing over to Trumbo in RF are mitigated.Oh, and Callaspo gets a night off... might be the start of something!
Mike Scioscia's lineup card reads thusly.
- Mike Trout LF
- Josh Hamilton DH
- Albert Pujols 1B
- Mark Trumbo RF
- Howie Kendrick 2B
- Erick Aybar
- Brendan Harris 3B
- Chris Iannetta C
- Peter Bourjos CF
And Circus Vargas on the hill.
