Tommy Hanson yielded seven runs on five hits over 4 2/3 innings in a loss to the Rangers on Wednesday. He struck out three and walked three and was yanked at 101 pitches. Hanson has now allowed 17 runs over 20 innings in four starts since returning from the disabled list (strained right forearm) on July 23. He's not giving the Angels innings, much less productive innings, at the moment. Hanson (4-3, 5.59 ERA) can only be trotted out in AL-only formats at this point.

Tommy Hanson surrendered five runs on four hits over 4 2/3 innings in a no-decision loss to the A's on Sunday. He struck out seven and walked five, requiring 102 pitches to record 14 outs. Hanson has allowed six runs over 10 innings in two starts since returning from the disabled list (strained right forearm) on July 23. With a 5.15 ERA and 1.51 WHIP over 11 starts, Hanson remains relegated to AL-only formats.

In his return from the disabled list, Tommy Hanson struck out eight and allowed just one run over 5 1/3 innings in a no-decision versus the Twins on Tuesday. Hanson, out since June 20 with a strained right forearm, scattered four hits and didn't surrender a free pass. Hanson (4-2, 4.75 ERA) entered the game with a 5.10 ERA, so this evening's performance was promising, even if it came against the punchless Twins. We still wouldn't trust him in mixed leagues.

Angels activated RHP Tommy Hanson from the 15-day disabled list. Hanson, out since June 20 with a strained right forearm, will return to start Tuesday night against the Twins. The 26-year-old right-hander owns a 5.10 ERA and 33/17 K/BB ratio in 47 2/3 innings over nine starts this season and shouldn't be trusted in most fantasy leagues.

Tommy Hanson (forearm) will be activated from the disabled list to start on Tuesday against the Twins. Hanson was cleared after striking out six and allowing two runs over 3 1/3 innings with High-A Inland Empire on Thursday. He threw only 59 pitches in the outing, so he'll surely be on a pitch count Tuesday. Given his 5.10 ERA and 1.55 WHIP this season, he's not someone fantasy owners want to stream, anyway.

Tommy Hanson (forearm) struck out six while allowing two runs over 3 1/3 innings in his first rehab start with High-A Inland Empire Thursday. Hanson gave up three hits while walking one, throwing 59 pitches in the outing. The Angels haven't said so for sure, but he's likely to make at least one more rehab start before being activated.

Tommy Hanson (forearm) will begin a rehab assignment with High-A Inland Empire on Thursday. Hanson is slated to throw 60 pitches in the outing. He seems likely to need an additional rehab outing after Thursday, putting him in line for a late July return.

Tommy Hanson (forearm) will throw a simulated game on Saturday. Hanson made it through a 35-pitch bullpen session Wednesday without any issues and is close to being cleared for a rehab assignment. Assuming he avoids setbacks, he should rejoin the Angels' rotation after the All-Star break.

Angels pitching coach Mike Butcher said that Tommy Hanson (forearm) "turned everything loose with no hesitation" during a 35-pitch bullpen session Wednesday. It was the first time Hanson has thrown from a mound since going on the DL, and obviously it went well. It's not clear what the next step is, but he can't be far off from a rehab assignment.

Tommy Hanson (forearm) will throw a bullpen session on Wednesday. It will be the first time he's thrown from a mound since being diagnosed with a right forearm strain late last month. Hanson could conceivably rejoin the Angels' rotation by the end of the month if all goes well, though the club hasn't provided a timetable for the righty.
