Worth noting

• Erick Aybar played his last game with the Angels before departing for the World Baseball Classic. The Dominican team will play exhibition games in Tampa, Fla., before playing Pool games in Puerto Rico starting Thursday. Aybar, who went 1-for-3 as a leadoff hitter on Saturday, was told he'll basically split time at shortstop with Jose Reyes.

• Vernon Wells went 1-for-2 with a walk and a long solo home run to left-center field in Saturday's 4-3 loss to the Brewers, making him 3-for-8 with three RBIs this spring. "He's more than the one-dimensional player that we've seen," Angels manager Mike Scioscia said. "He's not just a guy who can hit the ball out of the park. He'll give us a big lift if he can swing the bat the way he can."

• Sean Burnett didn't get off a bullpen mound on Saturday, instead solely doing rehab work and pitchers' fielding practice, but Angels manager Mike Scioscia expects that to happen by Monday. Burnett has been limited to throwing off flat ground since dealing with a stiff lower back on March 18.
