Worth noting

• Right-hander Jordan Walden threw his second bullpen session in three days on Wednesday, and Scioscia said it's likely Walden will now go on a rehab assignment, provided no problems arise in his recovery from the throwing session. Walden has been on the 15-day disabled list since July 15 with a strained right biceps.

• After lasting just three innings in his outing on Monday for Triple-A Salt Lake City due to left knee soreness, right-hander Garrett Richards is fine to make his next start.

• The Angels released catcher Robinzon Diaz and right-hander Francisco Rodriguez from Salt Lake City.
