2 Erick Aybar, SS

Angels manager Mike Scioscia isn't expecting shortstop Erick Aybar to miss significant time after leaving Tuesday's game against the Mariners with right knee soreness. In fact, Scioscia said Aybar might be able to suit up Wednesday.

"His knee got a little tight up almost where his quad is," Angels manager Mike Scioscia said, per MLB.com. "He should be available (Wednesday), but we didn't want to take any chances (Tuesday)."

Angels shortstop and leadoff hitter Erick Aybar left Tuesday's game against the Mariners due to right knee soreness, MLB.com reports. Aybar is day to day.

He was 2 for 3 with two doubles before leaving. Aybar drove in Alberto Callaspo with a fourth-inning double to deep center. He scored twice and is batting .258.

The 29-year-old has driven in five runs in his last three games so this is an unfortunate time to get injured.

Angels shortstop Erick Aybar (hamstring) returned atop the order Tuesday during a 6-2 win over the Royals. He returned after a four-game absence.

Aybar went 2 for 4 with two singles in the game and is batting .286. 

As anticipated, Angels shortstop Erick Aybar returned to the starting lineup Tuesday against Kansas City following a four-game absence with a hamstring injury, MLB.com reports. Aybar reclaimed his spot atop the batting order for his first game since last Thursday, and also patrolled short.

Angels shortstop Erick Aybar will likely be back in the starting lineup Tuesday night, MLB.com reports. Aybar, who missed his fourth straight game Monday against the Royals with a hamstring injury, was able to come off the bench but never entered the game.

However, Aybar was able to work out prior to the contest and manager Mike Scioscia was pleased with what he saw.

"He felt great," Scioscia said. "Had a great workout today. He'll be available today and most likely will play tomorrow."
