Worth noting

• Ryan Madson, still recovering from the inflammation he felt after a rehab outing for Class A Inland Empire on May 13, is expected to start throwing again within the next couple of days. But he'll have to build up to throw off a mound again and then begin another rehab assignment, so he's still far away from a return.

• Peter Bourjos (strained left hamstring) felt good one day after running the bases for the first time on Wednesday. He'll do it again Friday and Saturday and could begin a rehab assignment Monday.

• Angels scout Ralph Reyes was the recipient of the Angels' Nick Kamzic Scout of the Year Award, which was presented to him on the field by assistant general manager Scott Servais and director of scouting Ric Wilson.

• The Angels' wives and local Special Olympics athletes will host the third annual "Gold Ball Mystery Bag" event at the Home Plate Gate at Angel Stadium on Saturday, from 5 p.m. PT through the second inning. Each bag, sold for $40, will contain a baseball autographed by a member of the Angels. Twelve of them will include four tickets to an upcoming game and a chance to meet the player or coach who signed the ball.
