Worth noting

• Angels relievers Dane De La Rosa and Sean Burnett are inching closer to a return. De La Rosa is slated to start a rehab assignment with Salt Lake on Sunday, and Scioscia said he'll need at least two outings. Burnett looked "very strong" in an extended spring training game in Arizona on Saturday, and will pitch again on Monday, Scioscia added.

• Congested traffic is expected late Monday afternoon, with the Angels-Yankees game from Angel Stadium and the Kings-Ducks playoff hockey game at the neighboring Honda Center both taking place at 7 p.m. PT. The Anaheim Police Department has asked those who aren't going to either venue to seek alternate routes.

• Ernesto Frieri pitched in his first high-leverage situation during Saturday's 5-3 win -- turning in a 1-2-3 eighth inning, while striking out two batters -- eight days after being removed from the closer's role. Scioscia wouldn't guarantee that Frieri will continue to be the setup man, but said "Ernie's been slowly regaining his confidence and regaining where he needs to be. I think the matchups were good for Ernie in the eighth inning, and good for Joe [Smith] in the ninth inning."

• Pujols was moved from first base to designated hitter about 90 minutes prior to Saturday's game due to tightness near his hamstring area. Pujols will probably also DH on Sunday, but Scioscia said the ailment is "not anything we're very concerned about right now."
