According to ESPN.com, Angels OF Bobby Abreu had a chance of rejoining the Yankees in a deal that would have sent A.J. Burnett to Los Angeles, but Burnett, who has a partial no-trade clause, nixed the deal. [...]
Abreu is back in Tuesday's lineup against Arizona, the Dodgers' official Twitter feed reports.
Spin: Abreu returns to left field for the Dodgers on Tuesday, with the Diamondbacks sending righty Trevor Cahill to the mound.
Abreu is not in the starting lineup Monday against lefty Pat Corbin, the Dodgers' official Twitter feed reports.
Spin: After starting 11 of the Dodgers' last 15 games, Abreu is sitting for the second time in seven contests Monday -- both times against a left-handed starter. With injuries ravaging the depth chart, he should continue to see regular time as long as he's effective in the rotation in left field for manager Don Mattingly.
The Angels’ inventory of outfielders has been seriously depleted with Torii Hunter on the restricted list, Vernon Wells and Ryan Langerhans headed to the DL — and Bobby Abreu batting .341 for the Dodgers.
So they’ll reach down to Triple-A Salt Lake and promote 24-year-old Kole Calhoun. Calhoun was the choice despite the fact that his Salt Lake teammate Doug Deeds has some major-league experience.
Calhoun tore up the Class-A California League last season (.324, 22 home runs and 99 RBI) then skipped Double-A entirely after an impressive spring training with the Angels during which he hit .354 with eight extra-base hits (seven doubles and a triple) in 23 preseason games
