BASEBALL : DAILY REPORT : ANGELS : Valenzuela’s Follow-Up Test Today

Fernando Valenzuela is scheduled to undergo an angiogram today at St. Joseph’s Hospital in Orange, the follow-up to tests last week that indicated a possible problem in the flow of blood to his heart.

A thallium-treadmill test, performed after his initial physical hinted at an abnormality, showed cardiac vessel changes. Valenzuela, who signed with the Angels June 4 and was winless in two starts, was placed on the 15-day disabled list last Thursday.

Left-hander Bob McClure was placed on waivers for the purpose of giving him his unconditional release. His roster spot was taken by center fielder Junior Felix, who had been on the disabled list since June 2 because of a recurring calf muscle strain.

McClure, 38, missed most of last season because of elbow problems and was hampered by arm problems this spring. He appeared in 13 games, giving up 10 earned runs in 9 2/3 innings for an earned-run average of 9.31. His contract was for $700,000.

Joe Grahe, who is to make his first start of the season tonight, might have been skipped if Kirk McCaskill hadn’t pitched a complete game Sunday. Grahe was scheduled to relieve McCaskill if needed, but wasn’t called upon. “Nothing’s guaranteed till you’re actually out there,” Grahe said. “I’m looking forward to it.”
