Glaus expected back for Boston trip
From the LA Times:
Troy Glaus, who had three hits, including two home runs, in 13 at-bats in the first four games of his rehabilitation assignment for Rancho Cucamonga, probably will skip a stint with triple-A Salt Lake and join the Angels in Boston this week.
Glaus is recovering from surgery May 21 on his right shoulder. The original plan was for the slugger to spend a week or so at Class A and then play a few games at triple A, where he would face better pitching.
But the Angels are satisfied enough with Glaus' progress to believe they can drop him into the sixth or seventh spot in their batting order this week.
Are we that hard-up for power? With Glaus only hitting .200 (albeit with a huge OBP of .428 and a SLG of .600), I would feel much better with him getting a few games in at AAA. Somehow I don't think the pitching on the Inland Empire 66ers and Lancaster JetHawks is quite the same quality as the Boston Red Sox.
