| Player Notes |
| October 7, 2007 Garret Anderson was unable to finish Sunday's playoff game due to his ongoing problem with conjuctivitis. He'll have the entire offseason to recover, as the Red Sox swept the Angels out of the playoffs in three games. |
| October 5, 2007 Garret Anderson will still play tonight, despite that his right eye is swollen due to conjunctivitis, according to the Boston Herald."I think it looks a lot worse than it is," manager Mike Scioscia said of Anderson's eye. "Garret assures us his vision's there, hes seeing the ball, and that's what's important. Unless his left eye looks as bad as his right eye tomorrow, he's starting." Anderson went 0-for-4 with two strikeouts in the opener, the team appears confident that his vision was not the problem. |
| October 3, 2007 Garret Anderson's right eyelid is still swollen due to a case of conjunctivitis, but he still expects to be in the lineup tonight against Boston, according to the LA Times. The condition does not affect his vision at all, so it doesn't appear to be a serious issue. |
| October 1, 2007 Garret Anderson missed the final weekend of the regular season with conjunctivitis. Manager Mike Scioscia said he "doesn't anticipate any problems" with the left fielder being ready for the playoffs, according to the LA Times. Check for updates as the first postseason game nears, but it appears that Anderson should be ready for your playoff pools. |
| September 26, 2007 Garret Anderson left Wednesday's game with an irritated left knee after making a running catch to end the first inning. The Angels said Matthews would be re-evaluated Friday, according to the AP. |
| September 26, 2007 Garret Anderson was given his second straight day off Tuesday, the AP reports. He's merely getting rest with the playoffs approaching, and Mike Scioscia says Anderson will play Wednesday. |
| August 22, 2007 Garret Anderson was a one-man wrecking crew against the Yankees Tuesday, going 4-for-6 with 10 RBI as the Angels rolled to an 18-9 victory. Anderson, who had two doubles and two homers on the night, became just the 12th player in major-league history to knock in 10 runs or more in a game. |
| July 19, 2007 Garret Anderson was held out of the lineup Wednesday, partly for a day off and partly because the Angels were facing tough lefty Scott Kazmir, the AP reports. Mike Scioscia plans to use Anderson in the outfield Thursday. |
| July 4, 2007 Garret Anderson, activated on Monday from his second stint on the DL this season, was the DH on Tuesday night. Scioscia said Anderson will also see action in left field. "We're not going to see him in the outfield every day," Scioscia told the AP. "Hopefully he'll be able to get enough at-bats to get some continuity and consistency in his swing." |
| July 2, 2007 The Angels activated Garret Anderson from the disabled list on Monday, according to the AP. He had been out since June 7 with a strained right hip flexor. Anderson is hitting .264 with three homers and 15 RBI in 34 games with the Angels. |
| June 28, 2007 Garret Anderson, sidelined by a right hip flexor tendon tear, will begin a rehab assignment at Rancho Cucamonga on Friday, the Los Angeles Times reports. |
| June 19, 2007 Garret Anderson doesn't think his recent hip injury is as severe as the one he suffered earlier this year that kept him out of action for six weeks. "But I knew I couldn't play," said Anderson in the LA Times. "These injuries take time to heal. You're not dealing with bone. It's tissue, but it takes time." Anderson is expected to be out for three to four more weeks. |
| June 18, 2007 It may be a while before we see Garret Anderson return to game action after being placed back on the disabled list Saturday. Manager Mike Scioscia said the outfielder will miss at least "a couple of weeks," according to the LA Times. Anderson aggravated the same hip injury that cost him six weeks already this season, so consider him out indefinitely at this point. |
| June 17, 2007 Garret Anderson went back on the DL after re-aggravating his right hip while making a backhanded catch Saturday, the AP reports. He came off the DL June 3 after missing more than a month with a torn tendon in his right hip flexor. "He went to get his jump and go and just felt like his leg was real weak and he just didn't have the strength in it," manager Mike Scioscia said. "We're going to take some time and make sure this thing gets 100 percent." |
| June 14, 2007 Garret Anderson was back in the lineup Wednesday after missing two games because of tightness in his right leg, the AP reports. He went 2-for-4 with an RBI. |
| June 12, 2007 Garret Anderson was out of the lineup on Tuesday for the second straight game because of tightness in his right leg, according to the AP. He's expected back on Wednesday. |
| June 11, 2007 Garret Anderson missed Sunday's game after leaving Saturday's contest with tightness in his ailing right hip flexor. Manager Mike Scioscia said that Anderson should be available after the Angels' off-day Monday, according to the LA Times. It would be a good sign if he returned that quickly, but this injury obviously is going to be an ongoing concern. |
| June 10, 2007 Garret Anderson exited Saturday's game in the fifth inning. It turns out that he was experiencing tightness in his troublesome right hip flexor, according to the LA Times. Considering the injury already has cost him 34 games this season, Anderson almost certainly will take Sunday off to rest up. |
| June 3, 2007 Garret Anderson looked well enough in a work out for Angels officials Saturday that he was activated after the game. He's expected to start in left field on Sunday, according to the LA Times. Reggie Willits will start in right and Vlad Guerrero will DH. Anderson has been out with a torn right hip flexor tendon and was hitting .263 before being injured. Once a very durable player, Anderson's had trouble staying healthy recently. Time to get him back in your lineups while he's still feeling well. |
| May 31, 2007 Garret Anderson played six innings in the first game of his rehab assignment with Class-A Rancho Cucamonga, getting an infield hit in three at-bats, the AP reports. The Angels are expecting Anderson (hip) at some point next week. |
| May 26, 2007 Angels manager Mike Scioscia said that Garret Anderson likely will need a brief rehab assignment before being activated from the disabled list. Anderson should have his torn hip tendon re-examined on Monday, according to the LA Times. It looks like Scioscia might keep Anderson and Reggie Willits in the starting lineup by platooning Casey Kotchman and Shea Hillenbrand at first base and Chone Figgins and Robb Quinlan at third base. Anderson could return to action later next week, if all goes well. |
| May 23, 2007 Garret Anderson (torn hip tendon) ran Tuesday, but not at full speed, and Mike Scioscia said he would not be activated this week, the Los Angeles Times reports. Scioscia said Anderson would return to left field when he is activated. "There could be some more DH days for him, but I don't think he's at the point to be relegated to pure DH," Scioscia said. |
| May 22, 2007 Garret Anderson could return from the disabled list by Sunday, according to the AP. He's been out since April 27 with a tear in his right hip flexor tendon. With Reggie Willits continuing to play well, Anderson may not have a full-time job when he returns. |
| May 19, 2007 Garret Anderson has stepped up his workouts, as he gets closer to returning from a tear in his right hip flexor tendon. On Friday, he was able to run the basepaths for the first time, and he took batting practice, according to the LA Times. "It felt good," said Anderson. Expect the Angels to keep an eye on his progress over the next couple of days before deciding whether he will require a rehab assignment. |
| May 17, 2007 Garret Anderson, out since April 28 because of a tear in his right hip flexor tendon, has been taking batting practice and working in the outfield, according to the LA Times. However, he hasn't attempted to run even close to full speed, which he may try to do this weeekend. "I'll test it when I feel like I can," Anderson said. "I don't know when that will be." |
| May 10, 2007 Garret Anderson ran in the outfield and took batting practice Wednesday, the Los Angeles Times reports. He's recovering from a torn tendon in his right hip. |
| May 5, 2007 Garret Anderson is expected to miss at least a month due to the tear in his right hip flexor tendon, according to the LA Times. Anderson sustained the injury on April 27 but it wasn't until an MRI Friday that the exact nature of the injury was revealed. Despite Anderson's propensity for being dinged up in recent years, this is only his second trip to the DL during his 13-year career. |
| May 4, 2007 The Angels placed Garret Anderson on the disabled list Friday with a tear in his right hip flexor tendon, according to the AP. The move is retroactive to April 28. An MRI on Friday revealed the tear. |
| May 3, 2007 Garret Anderson's hip will be re-evaluated over the weekend, but a decision on putting him on the DL is "three or four days away," Mike Scioscia told the AP. |
| May 2, 2007 Garret Anderson hasn't played since Sunday because of a sore right hip, and manager Mike Scioscia said the outfielder won't return until at least the weekend, and possibly after that, according to the LA Times. Anderson is scheduled to be evaluated when the Angels return from their current road trip this weekend, and if he's not 100 percent by then, he'll go on the disabled list. "We have to look at a couple of things," Scioscia said. Once a poster boy for consistency and durability, Anderson hasn't played in 150 games since 2003, and it doesn't look like he'll hit that mark this year, either. |
| May 1, 2007 Garret Anderson was held out of the lineup again on Monday due to his sore right hip, and he's doubtful to play today, as well, according to the Angels website. He played catch on Monday, and he's considered day-to-day. |
| April 30, 2007 The Angels will continue to play it safe with Garret Anderson's sore right hip, though a DL trip is unlikely, the Los Angeles Times reports. Anderson missed the last two games of the weekend. |
| April 29, 2007 Garret Anderson missed his second straight game because of a sore right hip Sunday, but Mike Scioscia is optimistic that Anderson will avoid the disabled list, the AP reports. |
| April 28, 2007 Garret Anderson missed Saturday's game after leaving Friday's game with a hip flexor injury. "He is a little sore today. (He) is a little bit better than he thought he is going to be, but still, we're going to take it day-to-day and make sure this thing is at a level where he is not going to be a high risk, so we'll keep looking at it every day," manager Mike Scioscia told the AP. Anderson is also expected to miss Sunday's game. |
| March 12, 2007 Garret Anderson swiped a bag and made a nice running catch in the outfield yesterday, indicating that he might be over the back, knee and foot injuries that dogged him the past two seasons, according to the LA Times. "This is as good as we've seen him in probably three years," outfield coach Ron Roenicke said. Anderson's in the twilight of his career, but he still has some game when healthy. |
| March 6, 2007 With a lefty on the mound Monday, Garret Anderson batted fifth, behind Vladimir Guerrero and Shea Hillenbrand, according to the LA Times. Manager Mike Scioscia plans on using this lineup against southpaws during the regular season. Anderson has batted cleanup the majority of the time over the last three years. |
| March 1, 2007 Garret Anderson won't be in the lineup for a while, the Angels team site reports. Mike Scoscia wants to ease him into spring action. "Garret historically doesn't need a lot of at-bats," Scioscia said. "We want to make sure everything is where it needs to be for him as far as his conditioning is concerned. He's in great shape, running well. We'll get him in a game at some point, probably by the weekend or early next week." |
