Angels right-hander Jered Weaver is scheduled to start for the Class A Inland Empire 66ers Thursday as he begins the game-action portion of rehabilitating an injured left hip.

The three-time American League All-Star has been sidelined from major league action since late June.

Since June 24, the week Weaver was injured, the Angels have an MLB-best 2.25 earned-run average.

His replacement in the starting rotation, rookie Andrew Haney, has a 5-0 record and 1.79 ERA.

Inland Empire will be hosting the Bakersfield Blaze -- the California League affiliate of the Seattle Mariners -- at San Manuel Stadium.

Weaver has a record of 4-8 with an ERA of 4.75 for the Angels this season. He has a career record of 135-77 with a 3.36 ERA, all with the Angels, who drafted him out of Long Beach State in 2004.
