Player Notes
July 8, 2008
Mike Napoli underwent an MRI on Monday which confirmed he is suffering from shoulder irritation, according to the OC Register. Skipper Mike Sciosca said, "It’s more of a relief than anything. There’s a lot of things that can happen with a shoulder and that’s an area you need to do a lot of things. We’re relieved. Once the inflammation comes out of there and he gets some strength back in that shoulder, he should be able to get back with us and we’re going to need him."

Our View:Napoli is expected to rejoin the Angels in Texas on Tuesday and begin a rehabilitation program. Jeff Mathis is also expected to get nearly all of the work at catcher until Napoli returns.
July 7, 2008
As expected, Mike Napoli has been placed on the 15-day DL due to right shoulder inflammation, according to the LA Times. Ryan Budde has been recalled from Triple-A to fill his spot on the roster. The pain in Napoli's shoulder became unbearable and he said, "Something doesn't feel right in there. I've had good days and bad days. Some days, it hurts every time I throw back to the pitcher."

Our View:Jeff Mathis will now be the primary catcher until Napoli returns.
July 6, 2008
MLB.com reports that the Angels expect to place Mike Napoli on the 15-day disabled list after an MRI on Monday.

Our View:Napoli reports that "something doesn't feel right". Catcher Ryan Bubddle will be called up Triple-A but Jeff Mathis figures to pick up the bulk of the available starts.
June 24, 2008
Mike Napoli hit his first home run of the month Tuesday night against the Nationals. He also addedd three RBI.

Our View:He now has hit 11 home runs in 134 at-bats.
June 22, 2008
The Angels welcome catcher Mike Napoli back to the starting lineup today as they face Philadelphia, according to MLB.com.

Our View:Mired in a 2-for-36 slump after a tremendous, power-driven start, Napoli has missed six straight games as he works to get back on track. Napoli was on a home run tear early in the season, culminating with two bombs and five RBIs in an Interleague game at home against the Dodgers on May 18. His 10 homers have come in 124 at-bats, but his average has plunged to .202. Today, the Angels will give him a shot to get his swing back on the right path to success.
