| Angels | Chris Nelson activated | |
| The Los Angeles Angels of Anaheim activated 3B Chris Nelson (hamstring) from the 15-day disabled list Tuesday, Sept. 17. Source: MLB.com | |
| BHQ take: Nelson was the near-everyday 3B following the Callaspo trade, but his .227 BA (69% ct%) with sub-par power isn't rosterable. Andrew Romine was the starter again on Tuesday night, and his .300 BA (12-for-40) and 88% ct% in September suggest that he'll at least share time with Nelson through year-end. Romine looks like the better flyer here. —Jock Thompson | |
