Framber Valdez - Leaves outing with apparent injury Valdez was removed from Saturday's start versus the Angels in the seventh inning with an apparent injury, Brian McTaggart of MLB.com reports.

Impact Valdez had just served up a two-run home run to Zach Neto and was removed in the middle of the at-bat against the next hitter. It's worth noting that he had already thrown 103 pitches, so hopefully the left-hander's removal was just precautionary. Valdez has dealt with an ankle injury recently, although there's no indication whether that's what was bothering him Saturday. The southpaw was magnificent versus the Halos, striking out 13 batters and inducing 23 whiffs.

Logan O'Hoppe - Hits off tee Saturday O'Hoppe (shoulder) hit off a tee Saturday, Rhett Bollinger of MLB.com reports.

Impact O'Hoppe began taking dry swings on July 4 and has now taken another step forward. A return before the end of August is considered a best-case scenario for the rookie catcher, although it's possible the Angels will hold him out for the rest of the season if they're not in playoff contention. O'Hoppe is coming back from surgery to repair a torn labrum in his left (non-throwing) shoulder.

Impact It's the first time he's done any hitting since he landed on the injured list at the beginning of July with left shoulder inflammation. Drury is hopeful he can return to the Angels' lineup in a few days but acknowledged he'll probably have to play through some discomfort.
