Worth noting

• As part of Flashback Weekend, the Angels wore their 1961-65 throwback uniforms for Saturday night's game.

• Reliever Kevin Jepsen was struck in his right hand by a line drive in the seventh inning of Friday's 8-2 loss to the Astros, but the injury was deemed not serious.

Howie Kendrick -- on the disabled list with a strained knee -- is progressing, but the Angels are not targeting a specific return date.

"We'll see how it goes through the weekend and where he goes early next week," Scioscia said. "[Kendrick] feels better, but there's not enough improvement for us to say exactly when he will be back or if he'll be back when the DL is over."

• Saturday marked Mike Trout's 300th career game. Trout joins Ted Williams and Wade Boggs as the only players since 1935 to have at least 360 hits and 150 walks in their first 300 games. Trout also joins Joe DiMaggio, Ernie Banks, Willie Mays and Nomar Garciaparra as the only players to collect 15 triples and 55 home runs in their first 300 games.
