| July 25, 2006 Garret Anderson, who has been limited to DH duty the past couple weeks because of a sore left hamstring, was out of the lineup Tuesday against the Devil Rays, according to the AP.

| July 25, 2006 Garret Anderson is expected to get the day off on Wednesday with the hope that he'll be able to return to the outfield this weekend, according to the LA Times. Anderson, who is dealing with a hamstring injury, has served as the DH the last nine games he's started. |
| July 24, 2006 Garret Anderson will likely get the day off on Wednesday, according to the AP. Tim Salmon will start in his place. |
| July 24, 2006 Manager Mike Scioscia said that Garret Anderson might play the field during this weekend's series against Boston, according to the AP. Anderson, who has been dealing with a sore hamstring, has been seeing a lot of playing time at designated hitter. |
| July 14, 2006 Although the sore left foot of Garret Anderson is slowly getting better, Anderson is expected to see more time at designated hitter and less in left field, according to the Angels website. While Anderson has been overcompensating for the pain in his foot, he has developed a tight hamstring and a sore back. |
| July 8, 2006 Garret Anderson was out of the starting lineup Saturday due to a tight left hamstring, according to the AP. He was forced to leave Friday's game due to the injury, though it's not believed to be serious. Tommy Murphy started in place of Anderson. |
| July 8, 2006 Garret Anderson has hit .295 over his career against left-handers, but he's hitting just .198 this season. However, manager Mike Scioscia said he has no plans to platoon his left fielder, according to the LA Times. "We need him to hit lefties the way he can," Scioscia said. "There's a lot of things this club desperately needs on the offensive side. You want to give it the time it needs to materialize." Anderson pulled himself out of Friday's game due to a strained left hamstring that may be related to his strained arch, though it doesn't appear to be serious. |
| June 29, 2006 The Angels hope that Garret Anderson will be able to return to action this weekend, according to the LA Times. Anderson has missed the past two games with a stiff back that manager Mike Scioscia said was likely the result of the strained arch in the outfielder's left foot. |
| June 28, 2006 Garret Anderson missed his second straight game with a stiff back on Wednesday, according to the AP. Juan Rivera started in his place. |
| June 27, 2006 Garret Anderson was scratched from the starting lineup about 90 minutes before Tuesday night's game because of stiffness in his lower back, according to the AP. Tommy Murphy started in his place in center field with Chone Figgins sliding over to left. |
| June 26, 2006 Garret Anderson wasn't in the starting lineup Sunday, but not because he aggravated his strained arch beating out an infield single late in Saturday's 13-inning game, according to the LA Times. "His foot was sore the last time we played an extra-inning game, and it set him back for a while," manager Mike Scioscia said. "This is more preventive." |
| May 21, 2006 Garret Anderson returned to action Sunday after missing the previous five games with a sore hamstring. He batted fourth in the lineup and played left field for the Angels. |
| May 20, 2006 The LA Times reports that Garret Anderson was available to pinch-hit last night and could return to left field today or tomorrow. He's recovering from a sore left hamstring. |
| May 19, 2006 Garret Anderson, who missed his third straight game Thursday because of a sore left hamstring, was able to take batting practice and run in the outfield, according to the LA Times. With the Angels heading to Dodger Stadium this weekend, he will likely be relegated to pinch-hitting duty since there is no DH. |
| May 18, 2006 Garret Anderson is likely out for the series this weekend with the Dodgers, according to the AP. Anderson is dealing with hamstring and foot problems. |
| May 17, 2006 Garret Anderson was held out of yesterday's game due to the sore left hamstring he sustained during Sunday's contest, according to the LA Times. He likely will miss another game or two due to the injury. If he's not ready to play the field by Friday, he may have to miss the Angels' weekend match up with the Dodgers, since there won't be a designated hitter. |
| May 15, 2006 Garret Anderson was forced out of Sunday's game after three trips to the plate due to a strained left hamstring, according to the LA Times. He will be re-evaluated prior to Tuesday's game. |
| May 7, 2006 Angels manager Mike Scioscia said he gave Garret Anderson Saturday off in part because Anderson's plantar fascia was sore and partly to get the outfielder off the hard artificial turf at the Rogers Centre, according to the LA Times. "It hasn't been acting up it hasn't been getting worse," Anderson said. "But this turf doesn't give, so it's going to put a little more stress on it when you run." |
| April 26, 2006 Garret Anderson said the plantar fasciitis in his left foot is worse than any nagging injury he's had in his 12-year career, according to the LA Times. The injury bothers him the most when he runs, though he's been able to block it out when batting. Although he said it hasn't gotten worse, it also hasn't improved. When asked if would be able to get through the season, Anderson said: "I don't know. "I haven't even thought about it. I'm just trying to get through today." |
| April 12, 2006 The LA Times reports that Garret Anderson said the plantar fasciitis in his left foot "still hurts, and I can't tell if it's going to get better. All I can say is it's not getting worse. That's about all I can hope for at this point, because it's a weight-bearing injury and has the potential to get worse." |
| April 4, 2006 Garret Anderson, who is dealing with plantar fasciitis, was in left field in Monday's original lineup but was later moved to DH in order to give his foot more time to heal, according to the LA Times. "He's making progress, and hopefully this will be a short-term thing," Manager Mike Scioscia said. "If we get him off his feet, it will get him to 100% quicker than if we drag this out longer." |
| April 1, 2006 Angels manager Mike Scioscia said Garret Anderson should be able to play a full nine innings in the season opener, according to the LA Times. Anderson has been slowed by plantar fasciitis this spring. |
| March 27, 2006 Rather than limiting himself to being a designated hitter after three weeks off, Garret Anderson played in left field yesterday, according to the LA Times. He had been sidelined by plantar fasciitis. "If I can run the bases I can play defense, and I'd rather play defense than DH," said Anderson. "It's not 100 percent, but I feel there's no risk for injury." |
| March 24, 2006 The L.A. Times reports that Garret Anderson could begin the season on the disabled list because of his strained foot. Anderson has only six at-bats this spring and manager Mike Scioscia wants him to have at least 25. |
| March 22, 2006 Garret Anderson said yesterday there is no timetable for his return from plantar fasciitis, according to the LA Times. However, Angels manager Mike Scioscia said Anderson would return to action as the DH on Thursday and gradually work his way back into the outfield. "If he's out there Thursday, there's enough time for him to get to where he needs to be to open the season," Scioscia said. |
| March 17, 2006 The LA Times reports that if Garret Anderson can't return to play left field within a week, they'll prepare him to begin the season as the designated hitter. |
| March 16, 2006 Garret Anderson, who has plantar fasciitis in his sore left heel, said Wednesday that he doesn't expect to sit out the season opener, according to the LA Times. "I don't anticipate that, but I can't see down the line," he said. "I can't foretell that." Anderson has not played in 10 days due to the injury. |
| March 15, 2006 Garret Anderson has been diagnosed with plantar fasciitis in his sore left heel, according to the LA Times. Although the Angels listed him yesterday as day-to-day, he has no timetable for a return to action and his status for opening day is uncertain. |
| March 14, 2006 The Angels are growing concerned about the lingering soreness in the left heel of Garret Anderson, according to the LA Times. "I don't want to say there's a sense of urgency, but we need to get this thing healthy in a reasonable amount of time," manager Mike Scioscia said. "We're confident it will be." The Angels are hoping he can return this week. |
| March 13, 2006 Angels manager Mike Scioscia said that Garret Anderson will rest a sore heel for "a couple of days," according to the LA Times. Scioscia added that he wasn't sure if Anderson would bat third or fourth, in front of or behind Vladimir Guerrero. |
