The Sports Xchange reports that Howie Kendrick and Chone Figgins continue to test their injured hamstrings in pregame workouts. Kendrick could resume his minor league injury-rehabilitation assignment soon but most likely not before the end of this weekend, according to Angels manager Mike Scioscia. Figgins will be eligible to come off the disabled list next week as well, but Scioscia said the team has not decided if he will need to go on a rehab assignment first as he has not been out of action as long as Kendrick has.

Injury Report
Hamstring - 15-day DL. Out until at least late May (Updated - 5/10/08)
Fantasy Analysis
When healthy, Figgins is a must-start in Fantasy thanks to his elite-level contributions in batting average and stolen bases. It sounds like he won't be back in Fantasy Week 8 (May 19-25). Keep him stashed away until further notice if at all possible. (Updated 05/16/2008).
The Los Angeles Angels placed infielder Chone Figgins on the 15-day disabled list, retroactive to May 4, with a strained right hamstring after losing 2-0 to the Tampa Bay Rays on Saturday night. (Updated 05/11/2008)
Advice
First baseman Kendry Morales was recalled from Triple-A Salt Lake to take Figgins' place on the roster. "He's making progress, but not enough to where you're projecting to play him anytime next week," Angels manager Mike Scioscia said.
