Though it was reported in several Los Angeles area newspapers that the Angels could have an interest in Baltimore Orioles shortstop Miguel Tejada, the two teams have not had any talks recently, according to an Orioles source.

The Mets are considering signing Edgardo Alfonzo to minor-league deal, a baseball official told The Post.

Matt Cain managed to hold off from thinking about his no-hit bid for all of four innings.

The Angels activated reigning Cy Young Award winner Bartolo Colon from the 15-day DL following Friday night's 5-4 loss to the Padres, and optioned rookie right-hander Jered Weaver to Triple-A Salt Lake.

The Blue Jays continue to be linked to the Angels in trade talks.

The Angels have told teams they would be willing to trade 23-year-old right-hander Ervin Santana to acquire an impact hitter.

The Boston Globe mentioned a rumor this weekend that would have Ervin Santana going to the Tampa Bay Devil Rays for outfielder Carl Crawford.

The potential deal between the Angels and Blue Jays that would have sent Adam Kennedy to Toronto for Shea Hillenbrand is not dead, and that it could be expanded to include former Yankee Jeff Weaver heading to Toronto once Bartolo Colon comes off the Angels' disabled list.

Darin Erstad cut his rehab assignment with Salt Lake short and returned home after his sore right ankle did not improve.

The rumors regarding a possible Adam Kennedy trade keep reappearing with the Blue Jays.

Bartolo Colon, the 2005 AL Cy Young Award winner, pitched four shutout innings on Thursday in the first of two scheduled rehab starts, but didn't reach his usual mid-90s fastball.

The Angels now have Bartolo Colon signed through 2007, John Lackey through 2008 and Escobar through 2009, with Ervin Santana under club control through 2011.
