Colon, who suffered some rotator cuff damage last season, is throwing from flat ground with his graduation to a mound two or three weeks away at best. “There are some hurdles he needs to clear but the time frame hasn’t changed that much from what we talked about,” Scioscia said. “I think it’s probably a stretch to see him ready by Opening Day.” The Angels announced multiple telecast teams for the upcoming season. The regular duo of play-by-play man Steve Physioc and color commentator Rex Hudler will be reduced to about 100 telecasts this season. The remaining 50 local broadcasts will be handled by play-by-play man Jose Mota and color commentator Mark Gubicza. Six come to terms The Angels agreed to contract terms with six players: right-handers Jose Arredondo and Steven Shell, infielder Matt Brown, outfielders Terry Evans and Nick Gorneault, and catcher Bobby Wilson. Another 16 players on the 40-man roster are expected to be signed in the upcoming days. All-purpose Figgins Juan Rivera’s broken leg in winter ball means Chone Figgins will continue to be on call for a number of positions, even though he is being aimed at the starting third base job. Scioscia said that Figgins is being looked at as the probable fourth outfielder to go along with his third-base duties. Tommy Murphy and Reggie Willits also are vying for the backup outfielder job. If Figgins is needed to give an outfielder a day off or for more permanent outfield duty in case of an injury, Robb Quinlan, Maicer Izturis and even Shea Hillenbrand will get a chance to play third base. Rivera update There still is no further timetable on Rivera’s return. Scioscia expects Rivera to be in Arizona for an examination by staff doctors possibly in two weeks. Rivera currently is being seen by a doctor in Florida. Kendry Morales, who had knee soreness in winter ball, was given clearance to begin camp on time. Position players report Monday with the first full-squad workout on Tuesday. No stragglers Frankie Rodriguez has experienced visa problems the past few seasons, which delayed his arrival in camp, but Scioscia does not foresee any late arrivals this year. Chemistry test With issues like Colon’s health, finding a fourth outfielder and sorting out the battle at first base, there is still another top priority in this year’s camp. “We have a very aggressive camp and we’re anxious to see the guys come together,” Scioscia said. “Put them on the field at the same time and get the pieces working the way we feel we can.” 160Want local news?Sign up for the Localist and stay informed Something went wrong.

While his return could happen by the start of May, it could be delayed into June if he can’t get rehabilitated and build stamina in short order. “You try to (think) for the long term too,” Scioscia said. “He has to be stepped up to a certain pace to make sure he holds up for this year. And in the future we want to be careful when moving forward.” Scioscia hinted that mound work could be two weeks away but quickly backed off that. “He’s got a good amount of work ahead of him before he gets on the mound,” he said. Telecast crews set TEMPE, Ariz. – While Bartolo Colon is aiming toward making the Opening Day roster, manager Mike Scioscia hardly painted as optimistic a picture. Speaking during a brief respite between staff meetings Wednesday, Scioscia said he does not expect Colon to pitch in a Cactus League game this spring and would be happy simply if the right-hander threw from a mound before camp ended. read more
