Worth noting

• Right-handed pitcher Robert Coello -- currently on the 60-day DL with right shoulder inflammation -- began a rehab assignment with Arkansas on Monday.

Coello pitched one inning, threw 16 pitches and struck out two as he retired the side in order.

• Grant Green was not in Monday's lineup, but Scioscia said there is nothing physically wrong with the second baseman. With the right-handed Chris Archer on the mound for the Rays, the Angels simply wanted to get more left-handed bats in the lineup.

• The date of Howie Kendrick's return remains a mystery.

"He's in all baseball activities," Scioscia said. "Just not running at 100 percent yet, but feeling better."
