Joe Saunders is pitching in a Triple-A game against the Cubs today.

Vladimir Guerrero said this morning his sore knee is much better and he expects to play tomorrow.

And Angels manager Mike Scioscia’s comments today (in contrast with yesterday’s) about Scot Shields’ sore arm make it sound more like the reliever will not be ready for Opening Day.

Some tidbits from the Angels’ media notes — they are 11-13 all-time on Easter when that holiday falls during the regular season; they are 9-1-2 at Tempe Diablo Stadium this spring; and they have the lowest ERA (3.39) of any American League team this spring.
