Heaney back from TJ rehab this weekend?

WASHINGTON -- Injuries have plagued the Angels' rotation this season, but the unit took another step toward regrouping when Andrew Heaney was back practicing with the team on Tuesday.

Heaney, who underwent Tommy John surgery in July 2016, threw a bullpen session Tuesday before the Angels' game at Nationals Park. If Heaney feels good after that, manager Mike Scioscia said the left-hander could pitch this weekend against the Orioles.

The Angels are carrying four starters because of their two off-days this week after optioning Troy Scribner last week, so they could add Heaney to the rotation without moving another starter.
