Jered Weaver: Will open season on 15-day DL

Jered Weaver (biceps tendinitis) will open the season on the 15-day disabled list. Weaver will work in some breaking pitches for the first time this spring in a 50-pitch simulated game Thursday after delivering 45 pitches -- all fastballs and changeups -- in a camp outing on Monday. The 24-year-old right-hander could be ready for a Minor League game on Saturday or Sunday. "Looking at [Weaver's] time frame," manager Mike Scioscia said, "he'll certainly miss his first start but can be folded in shortly after on the 15th or 16th [of April]."
