Burnett made his first minor league rehab appearance on Saturday and came out of it feeling fine. He is on track to return to the Angels' bullpen early this week.

Weaver was hoping to embark on a minor league rehab assignment, but the Angels want him to throw one more time in a controlled environment at their spring training complex in Arizona. He is still on track to return to the Anaheim rotation at some point in early June.

Williams allowed five hits and no walks, striking out three. He exited with a 4-2 lead, which Dane De La Rosa blew, costing Williams his third victory. Williams has been a surprisingly stabilizing force in the Angels' putrid starting rotation, allowing nine earned runs over 23 innings in four starts since joining. He has a tasty matchup next week when he takes the hill Wednesday against the Mariners.

After a rough outing against the Astros, Vargas has gone at least seven innings in his last two games and has back-to-back quality starts. He gave up just four hits with three walks and had six strikeouts. Vargas now has a 3.55 ERA through his first nine starts this season.

Kendrick hasn't had many RBI opportunities batting in the sixth spot for the Angels, but he surprisingly managed six home runs this season. The 29-year-old second baseman is batting .370 (10-for-27) with a home run and two doubles over his last seven games.

It's the second time they've released him in the last two months, as they cut Hall loose at the end of spring training before re-signing him a couple weeks later. The veteran utility player was batting just .164/.282/.233 over 21 games.

Enright was designated for assignment last week but has cleared waivers and will stick around for depth purposes.
