Weaver threw 6.1 scoreless innings while allowing five hits and striking out five en route to a win against the White Sox on Wednesday.

Weaver has looked strong in three starts since coming off the disabled list, posting a 2.08 ERA and 15 strikeouts in 17.1 innings after tallying an ERA close to 5.00 in his first 15 starts this season. Weaver's average fastball sits at 83 mph since his return, which may be why he has relied a bit more on his curveball, throwing it roughly 25 percent of the time. Prospective owners may be skeptical that success can be sustained as velocity continues to drop, but Weaver may be worth keeping an eye on as he heads into a matchup against the Tigers next week.

Weaver (4-9) conceded two earned runs on four hits and two walks while striking out three over six innings in a loss to the Royals.

In his second start back from the disabled list, Weaver was able to go six innings on Friday. While he surrendered just two runs for the second consecutive game, Weaver saw his strikeouts decrease from seven to three and his walks increase from zero to two as compared to his first start back.

Weaver pitched admirably in his first start back from the disabled list, giving up two earned runs in five innings while striking out seven.

Weaver threw 85 pitches, giving up just one fly ball against seven ground balls and striking out seven. This was shaping up to be one of the best starts before precaution took hold and the wheels started coming off for the Angels. He'll get his next start Friday against the Royals.

Weaver (hip) was formally activated from the 15-day DL and will make the start Sunday against the Orioles.

The Angels kept Weaver at High-A Inland Empire for a pair of rehab outings, during which he recorded a 1.93 ERA and seven strikeouts over a total of 9.1 innings. Though he entered the season as the team's de facto staff ace, Weaver is realistically the Angels' fifth-best rotation member at this point, as his ongoing velocity decline has made him increasingly hittable. In his 15 starts with the big club this season, Weaver has posted a 4.75 ERA, 1.24 WhIP, and a 49:16 K:BB ratio over 96.2 innings. Those playing in shallower formats are best left staying away from the right-hander.

Weaver (hip) will start Sunday against the Orioles, Pedro Moura of the Orange County Register reports.

Although Weaver gave up a pair of homers in a rehab game with High-A Inland Empire on Tuesday (5.2 innings), he evidently showed enough to convince the Angels he's good to go. The 32-year-old Weaver enjoyed a good deal of success in May (2.83 ERA), but struggled to tune of a 6.58 ERA in four June starts before hitting the DL with the hip issue.

Los Angeles Angels pitcher Jered Weaver, out since June 20 with a hip injury, will start Sunday against the Baltimore Orioles, according to the Orange County Register.

Los Angeles Angels pitcher Jered Weaver, out since June 20 with a hip injury, will start Sunday against the Baltimore Orioles, according to the Orange County Register. Weaver completed a rehab stint with High-A Inland Empire and will be activated off the disabled list Sunday. Manager Mike Scioscia expressed optimism that Weaver will be fresh for the season's final stretch. "If it means he's good from now until the end of the year, then it was well worth the price you had to pay to miss him," Scioscia said. "I don't necessarily think that the fact that a guy misses three or four weeks is going to translate to him staying fresher, but he's at a level now that he needs to be, and we need to maintain that." Weaver posted a 2.83 ERA in May but slumped to a 6.58 ERA in June.

Weaver (hip) has seen significant progress since being placed on the disabled list, and could return as early as Sunday, Jeff Fletcher of the Orange County Register reports.

Weaver will be re-evaluated Friday, at which point his timetable should be updated with a potential return either Sunday or next Tuesday. The 32-year-old hurler has struggled a bit this season, topping a 4.00 ERA for the first time since 2008 and just the second time in his career. He'll get a chance to lower the ERA when he returns, and will likely push Cory Rasmus back to the minors.

Los Angeles Angels starting pitcher Jered Weaver could be activated from the disabled list as early as Sunday after recovering from a hip injury, according to the Orange County Register.

Los Angeles Angels starting pitcher Jered Weaver could be activated from the disabled list as early as Sunday after recovering from a hip injury, according to the Orange County Register. Weaver, who has not pitched since June 20, will be evaluated again Friday before a date for his return is determined. The veteran recently completed a rehab stint with High-A Inland Empire, allowing just two earned runs in 9.1 innings. "He made a lot of progress," Angels manager Mike Scioscia said. "We're excited about the reports we got on how he pitched last night, and I think that’s a lot closer to where Weav needs to be and to anything we've seen this year for a while, so that’s encouraging. He'll throw his bullpen Friday, see how he comes out of it, and we’ll make a determination of where he is."

Weaver (hip) will make another rehab start with High-A Inland Empire on Tuesday, David Adler of MLB.com reports.

Weaver made his first rehab appearance this past week, tossing 3.2 scoreless innings for Inland Empire while walking and striking out two batters apiece. The Angels aren't in any rush to bring their struggling ace back to the big-league roster, particularly when he's coming off a bout with left hip inflammation. A mid-August return to the Angels seems like the most probable scenario for Weaver.

Weaver (hip) will begin a rehab assignment Thursday with High-A Inland Empire, Jeff Fletcher of the Orange County Register reports.

Weaver has been sidelined for the past five weeks after experiencing left hip inflammation, but with the pain since wearing off after he completed a 60-pitch simulated game last week, he'll be given clearance to throw in a competitive setting. Given that he's sitting on a 4.75 ERA on the season and has seen his average fastball velocity fall to the low-80s this season, Weaver won't be rushed back into the rotation right away. Expect him to make at least a couple rehab starts before the Angels entertain the idea of integrating him back in.

Weaver (hip) is expected to throw a bullpen session Sunday, Jeff Fletcher of the Orange County Register reports.

It will be Weaver's second such session and first time throwing off a mound since tossing a simulated game Tuesday. The Angels haven't decided what the next stop in the process will be for Weaver, but the team is no rush to bring the long-time staff ace back with the current rotation members all pitching well recently. Weaver has already been ruled out from pitching in the Angels' upcoming series against the Astros, so any return from the DL likely won't come until early August.

Los Angeles Angels pitcher Jered Weaver is scheduled to throw a bullpen session Sunday as he recovers from a hip injury, according to the Orange Country Register.

Los Angeles Angels pitcher Jered Weaver is scheduled to throw a bullpen session Sunday as he recovers from a hip injury, according to the Orange Country Register. Weaver will likely return from the disabled list within the first week or two of August.

Manager Mike Scioscia said Friday that Weaver will not pitch in the Angels' upcoming series against Houston, Jeff Fletcher of the Orange County Register reports.

Weaver had already told the Angels that he was willing to go out on a rehab assignment or throw a simulated game given that his hip isn't quite ready, and that will be the case as he won't return for at least a week. The next possible series in which Weaver could return would be next weekend against the Dodgers, but even that seems overly optimistic at this point.

Los Angeles Angels pitcher Jered Weaver will not return from his hip injury this weekend against the Houston Astros, according to the Orange County Register.

Weaver (hip) feels healthy enough to return to the Angels, but is not at 100 percent; Alden Gonzalez of MLB.com reports that Weaver is willing to go on a rehab assignment before returning to the Angels.

The Angels' rotation has been lights-out of late, which allows Weaver to not rush back to the rotation. There's still a possibility that Weaver throws another simulated game as well, but the Angels have yet to give specifics on Weaver's exact timeline.

Weaver (hip) threw four innings in a simulated game Tuesday, but the Angels have yet to decide what his next step will be in the rehab process, Mike DiGiovanna of the LA Times reports.

The Angels are reportedly deciding between a rehab assignment or a return to the rotation for Weaver, who has been on the disabled list for a month with hip inflammation. He threw 60 pitches in Tuesday's outing, but there is no word on how much work he'll need before he's ready to return to the rotation. The Angels' rotation has been clicking of late, so it's unclear who Weaver would replace once he's activated from the DL.

Weaver (hip) completed a full bullpen session Saturday, the Orange County Register reports.

The successful session lines him up for a second simulated outing Tuesday, and if all goes well, Weaver may bypass a minor league rehab assignment and return to the Angels' rotation late next week. "If he can show us what we are looking for in the simulated game like last time, he's ready for a game," manager Mike Scioscia said. Matt Shoemaker seems like the most likely candidate to lose his rotation spot.

Weaver (hip) threw a three-inning, 50-pitch simulated game on Thursday, Mike DiGiovanna of the Los Angeles Times reports.

Weaver will throw his third simulated game since landing on the disabled list Monday or Tuesday of next week, after which he may be activated from the disabled list without a rehab assignment. Weaver said he would likely need five days to recuperate after his final simulated game, which would put him in line to start July 25 or 26 against the Rangers. There is no word as to who would leave the rotation upon Weaver's return.

Weaver (hip) threw a simulated game Saturday, Jeff Fletcher of the Orange County Register reports.

Weaver has progressed from bullpen sessions to sim games, suggesting he could be ready to rejoin the rotation immediately after the All-Star break. With Andrew Heaney thriving thus far, the Angels have a tough to decision to make when looking at who Weaver will replace. The team may end up demoting Matt Shoemaker from the rotation, even though he was fantastic as a rookie last year. The Angels might also consider trading one of their starters for a batter, though Weaver and his 10/5 veto rights probably wouldn't be part of that discussion.

Weaver (left hip inflammation) threw on flat ground Tuesday and is scheduled to throw a bullpen session Wednesday, the Associated Press reports.

He will be evaluated before the All-Star break to determine if he will need a rehab start before rejoining the Angels. Once Weaver is deemed ready to return, he will likely take Matt Shoemaker's rotation spot, as Andrew Heaney has been the team's best pitcher over the past two weeks.
