Rex, or other knowledgeable angel fans

would really like to pound Anaheim tonight, but these mounted injuries are a concern to me. Any of these guys getting near playing again.

Matthews Jr.
Rivera
izturis
McPherson
Anderson
willets

+ they just lost Hillenbrand

lots of bodies missing

I'll leave it to Rex for the real scoop. But this is pretty accurate.

Mathews Jr. - relatively minor injury - will probably play this weekend if not tonite

Rivera - still recuperating from broken leg; just started moving around - won't be back anytime soon

Izturis - think he will be back soon. His return is one reason Hillenbrand was dumped

MacPherson - not back anytime soon

Anderson - supposedly in the best shape of his career coming into the season and has spent much on DL. Don't see him back for this series.

Willets - should be good to go.

Hillenbrand - bad acquisition in the first place. Took a lot of at bats from a guy like Quinlan who has been a proven hitter with Angels. He will not be missed.

May not be 100% accurate but live in area and this is pretty close.

Biggest injury to affect the series will be the O's loss of Tejada in my opinion.
