Guerra a 'bright spot' in Angels' overworked 'pen

ANAHEIM -- With the Angels using an American League-most 42 players this season, it's been quite easy for guys to get lost in the shuffle of injuries, callups and options.

Reliever Deolis Guerra knows this as well as anyone. He's one of 22 pitchers the club has used this season, starting as a waiver claim from the Pirates. After an emergency appendectomy at the end of Spring Training, he was optioned to Triple-A. He's since been called up to the big leagues, designated for assignment, unclaimed on waivers and optioned back to the Minors before being recalled on June 4 for his second big league stint.
