Torii Hunter, Brian Fuentes make All-Star team

Playing the field

Vladimir Guerrero made his first start of the season in right field Sunday after missing five weeks of April and May because of a torn right chest muscle and being relegated to designated hitter while recovering from the injury.

Scioscia said how often Guerrero plays the outfield will depend on how his arm and body respond and how he feels. It's doubtful Guerrero, who handled two fly balls without incident Sunday, will play the outfield on a regular basis for several weeks.

"He will probably feel a little stiffness after the game and [today]," Scioscia said. "But he got medical clearance, and he's ready to go."

Planning ahead

The Angels will use Thursday's off day to skip Sean O'Sullivan's rotation spot. They sent O'Sullivan to Salt Lake on Saturday night so he could make two triple-A starts before rejoining the Angels' rotation after the All-Star break.

ANGELS TONIGHT

VS. TEXAS

Where: Angel Stadium.

When: 7.

On the air: TV: Fox Sports West. Radio: 830, 980, 1330.

Pitchers: Jered Weaver vs. Kevin Millwood. Tuesday, 7 p.m. -- John Lackey (3-3, 4.70) vs. Vicente Padilla (6-4, 4.75); Wednesday, 7 p.m. -- Ervin Santana (1-4, 7.43) vs. Tommy Hunter (1-1, 3.18).

Update: Lost amid all the base-running blunders, an Angels comeback from a 7-1 deficit and Hank Blalock's walk-off two-run home run that gave the Rangers a 9-7 victory last Wednesday night in Texas was the fact that Weaver suffered his worst start of the season, giving up seven runs and eight hits in 5 1/3 innings. Millwood, the Rangers ace who ranks fifth in the league in ERA and second with 119 innings pitched, gave up four runs and eight hits in 6 1/3 innings that night.
