Wilson says he may cut back on throwing program

ANAHEIM -- Even as a starting pitcher, Angels left-hander C.J. Wilson said he likes to throw every day, even if it's just playing catch.

At 34, though, Wilson said, it might be time to switch to program with less throwing, like the one he was forced into this week by elbow stiffness.

Pitching with two extra days' rest against the Rangers, Wilson battled through 5 2/3 innings Saturday night in a 4-1 victory at Angel Stadium, the Angels' third win in a row, and got them back to .500 at 9-9.

"I felt good enough," said Wilson, who scattered seven hits and three walks on a cold night, and allowed just one run, on a fourth-inning wild pitch.
