BALTIMORE - The news was bad for reliever Sean Burnett on Tuesday, but it could have been much worse. The Angels left-hander came away from a second visit to orthopedic surgeon James Andrews in five weeks not needing elbow surgery, but he was ordered not to pick up a ball for a month, which will push his return to August at the earliest. "I was crushed, man," Burnett said. "I came here to help this team, and it's been disappointing. I haven't been able to do much, if anything.

The pitcher with the best statistics in the National League will start Wednesday for the Arizona Diamondbacks against the Dodgers in the finale of a three-game series at Dodger Stadium. Left-hander Patrick Corbin, who is 9-0 with a 1.98 earned-run average, is a big reason why the no-name Diamondbacks are the early leaders the NL West. He's also the reason why some Angels fans may be dreaming about what might have been. Corbin was chosen by the Angels in the second round of the 2009 amateur draft but was traded to the Diamondbacks about a year later as part of a four-player package that brought Dan Haren to Anaheim.

— Left fielder J.B. Shuck had a nice six-week run as a fill-in for injured starter Peter Bourjos , hitting .259 with 10 runs and 11 runs batted in and playing solid defense in 34 games, but it ended on a sour note Sunday. The Angels scored twice in the eighth inning against Boston on Shuck's two-out, bases-loaded single to cut the lead to 10-5, and they had runners on first and second when Mike Trout flared a single to right. It appeared Chris Iannetta would score from second, but the slow-running catcher was held by third base coach Dino Ebel . Shuck, who was on first, thought Iannetta would score, so he rounded second aggressively and headed to third.

BOSTON — Another shoddy performance in Sunday's 10-5 loss to the Boston Red Sox in Fenway Park dropped Angels right-hander Joe Blanton to 1-10 with a 5.87 earned-run average, worst among American League starters. Blanton was rocked for seven runs — six earned — and eight hits, including prodigious home runs by David Ortiz, Jarrod Saltalamacchia and Mike Carp, in five innings and has now given up a major league-high 111 hits, 13 of them home runs, this season. "This is probably the worst start to a season that I've had," Blanton said.

BALTIMORE  - When it rains, it pours for Angels, figuratively and literally, and they were drenched in the controversial sixth inning Monday night when they gave up the decisive runs in a 4-3 loss to the Baltimore Orioles in Camden Yards. The Angels still had a chance to win after a 2-hour, 14-minute rain delay, trimming the deficit to 4-3 in the seventh when Orioles first baseman Chris Davis threw late to second on Josh Hamilton's bases-loaded slow roller, allowing a run to score.

As an actor, Harry Lewis took second billing to the likes of Humphrey Bogart and Edward G. Robinson, most notably in the 1948 film noir "Key Largo. " But he found his own starring role as a Los Angeles restaurateur who helped usher in the concept of the "gourmet burger" when he launched the ground-breaking Hamburger Hamlet restaurant chain, among others. Hamburger Hamlet - named after one of the signature items on the menu, as well as the role that beckons to actors of stage and film alike - became that rare high-low hit. Among the restaurant's regulars: Ronald Reagan, Elizabeth Taylor, Sammy Davis Jr. and Tony Curtis - all Lewis' buddies from the film business. But it was also a place for Los Angeles families looking for a night out that included milkshakes.

BALTIMORE - Peter Bourjos didn't get caught up in the controversy surrounding Manager Mike Scioscia's decision to move Mike Trout from center field to left field when Bourjos, out since April 30 because of a left hamstring strain, was activated. "You hear it, but there's nothing you can do about it," Bourjos said. "At the time all that was going on, I could barely walk, so it wasn't my first concern at all. My concern was getting healthy. Then, I could deal with it. " Bourjos, Trout and Scioscia finally dealt with it Monday night.
