Jun 11 Mike Scarr, of MLB.com, reports Los Angeles Angels of Anaheim IF Erick Aybar (finger) has begun to take batting practice and could begin a rehab assignment early next week, according to manager Mike Scioscia.
But with Figgins returning this weekend, Wood will probably be sent back down. Then you will have Kendrick, Izturis, Figgins and Quinlan with Aybar probably about 9-10 days away all trying to split that IF time. I could see Izturis taking ABs from all of them once Aybar returns and Quinlan on the outside looking in and possibly designated for assignment.
But that still leaves Izturis good for another week or more of solid playing. As well as he has been playing, he may steal the job from Aybar if Aybar doesn't come back hitting right away.
