Salas (right shoulder inflammation) will begin a rehab assignment with High-A Inland Empire on Friday.

Analysis:

It will be a brief rehab stint for Salas, and he should be back with the Angels in a couple days. In 27.1 innings this season Salas has a 2.96 ERA and a 1.32 WHIP, and he should be used in high-leverage situations in front of the likes of Joe Smith and Jason Grilli.
