BASEBALL DAILY REPORT : ANGELS : Harvey Undergoes Tests on Elbow

A bone scan showed an inflammation on the inside of Bryan Harvey’s right elbow, prompting the Angels to send him back to California for additional tests. He is scheduled to be examined today by team physician Lewis Yocum and to undergo a CAT scan at Centinela Hospital Medical Center at 7 a.m.

“I was feeling better, but I’ll find out (today) for sure how I feel,” said Harvey, who was put on the disabled list Saturday for the second time this season. “It will be nice to find out what it is.”

Catcher John Orton also was sent back to see Yocum to determine the cause of inflammation in his right shoulder. Results of his tests were not available; it was also unclear whether his ailment is related to the rotator cuff problem that plagued him during spring training, although Orton said he thought this problem was in a different area.

The Angels didn’t immediately make a roster move, but they probably will recall Bobby Rose from triple-A Edmonton.

Also joining the parade of patients to Yocum’s office was first-round draft pick Pete Janicki, who withdrew from last month’s Olympic trials because of a sore right elbow. Angel trainer Ned Bergert said he hadn’t received results of Janicki’s tests.

Janicki’s advisor, Arn Tellem, said Janicki has been throwing without pain since the Olympic trials.

Bert Blyleven, winless in his last three starts, said his arm feels strong after limiting his between-starts activity to long-tossing, instead of throwing off a mound.

Blyleven, who was unable to protect a 6-1 lead against the Blue Jays in his last start, said he plans nothing different today in Detroit. “I just want to pitch consistently, and when they give me a five-run lead again, hold on to it,” he said.

Luis Sojo’s fifth-inning home run gave him his first RBI since June 15 and first on the road since June 9 at Chicago. . . . Mark Eichhorn gave up a single and a walk to the two batters he faced in the seventh inning, the second successive appearance in which he has failed to retire a batter. . . . Rene Gonzales’ first-inning single was his fourth hit in 28 at-bats.
