MLB Rumor Central: Opportunity knocks for Angels' Joe Smith

Joe Smith recorded his first save of the season for the Los Angeles Angels on Wednesday night and could be in line for more.

Closer Huston Street suffered a strained left oblique prior to the 4-2 win over Kansas City and will probably have to go on the disabled list.

The Angels have a day off Thursday, so they can postpone a decision until Friday. If Street is sidelined, Smith would take over as closer and the Angels would likely call up either Al Alburquerque or Cam Bedrosian from Triple-A to fill the open roster spot, reports Jeff Fletcher of the Orange County Register.
