Howie Kendrick Back With Angels After Recovering From Hamstring Injury

But on Saturday, Kendrick is back. He wound up missing the minimum amount of time, as his injury was never particularly severe. He is to resume playing left field, at least until Wells comes back, at which point the roster situation will be re-evaluated.

Branyan will likely help out at first base, alongside powerful rookie Mark Trumbo in some approximation of a lefty/righty platoon.
