Saunders: In Rotation Until Colon Returns

Joe Saunders gave up two earned runs on five hits, walked one and fanned one over three innings vs. the Giants on Tuesday. Saunders is expected to hold down a rotation spot until Bartolo Colon returns from a rotator cuff tear. Despite the underwhelming stat line, Angels manager Mike Scioscia was happy with the left-hander’s performance. "He made adjustments with first-pitch strikes, and his breaking ball got sharper in the third inning,” said Scioscia. “He threw some real good changeups. He pitched well." Saunders went 7-3 with a 4.71 ERA and a 1.42 WHIP over 13 starts for the Angels in 2006.
