Jered Weaver could return to Angels as soon as Sunday

The light at the end of the tunnel is closer than ever. Jered Weaver has nearly finished his comeback.

Since heading to the 15-day disabled list with left hip inflammation on June 20, Weaver has steadily worked his way back, throwing bullpens and simulated games almost three weeks ago at the All-Star break.

But Mike Scioscia, pitching coach Mike Butcher and Weaver held off on a return.

No longer. Weaver completed his second rehab start with the Inland Empire 66ers, the Angels' advanced-A affiliate, on Tuesday, and Scioscia said before Wednesday’s game that he could return to the major league rotation as soon as Sunday, possibly on Monday.
