Ryan Madson - R - Los Angeles Angels

Angels pitching coach Mike Butcher admitted Friday that it's "unlikely" Ryan Madson (elbow) will be ready for Opening Day.
It's been the assumption since he developed soreness in his surgically-repaired right elbow. Madson is currently limited to throwing every other day but hopes to progress to throwing every day next week. Ernesto Frieri will handle the ninth inning for the Halos until Madson is ready.
