The Los Angeles Angels are expected to shake up their infield by trading either David Freese or Howie Kendrick, according to sources.

The team wants to use either infielder to address other roster needs. They are looking for a starting pitcher or a left-handed reliever.

Both Kendrick and Freese are 31 and entering their final years of club control before becoming free agents.

The Los Angeles Angels have picked up Huston Street's $7 million option for next season.

The Angels acquired Street from the San Diego Padres on July 19. He picked up 17 saves with a 1.71 ERA for Los Angeles.

Cory Rasmus, who began the season as a reliever, made five starts for the Los Angeles Angels in September.

He now realizes the differences between being a relief pitcher and a rotation member.

"Out of the bullpen for the past four years, it's totally been one hitter at a time," Rasmus said. "Where as a starter, you have to think that same way, but at the same time, you have to say, 'What can I do the first time through the order?' and then change it up the second time through the order."

The Angels will look to add depth to their rotation for 2015, which means Rasmus could be fully converted into a starter.

Beginning on Aug. 30, Rasmus made six starts, posting a 2.37 ERA and 0.84 WHIP. He progressed to throwing about four innings and 60 pitches by the end of the season.

"I feel I pitched pretty well and I'm sure we'll have some talks in the offseason," Rasmus said. "We'll get that taken care of. We have three months, four months until we have to be back. We'll get everything settled and we'll figure it out before Spring Training comes around."

Police are looking for three men suspected of brutally beating a man in the Angel Stadium parking lot, in what appears to have been an unprovoked attack.

The 43-year-old Huntington Beach man and his relative were walking to a car after the Angels' playoff game against the Royals Friday night when they were attacked for no apparent reason, Lt. Bob Dunn said Sunday.

Alex Gordon hit a bases-clearing double in the first inning, Eric Hosmer and Mike Moustakas each homered and the wild-card Royals finished off a three-game sweep of the Angels with an 8-3 victory Sunday night in the AL Division Series, according to an ESPN.com report.

Josh Hamilton says he's feeling better and is ready for the playoffs later this week.

Hamilton missed 21 of the Los Angeles Angels' last 22 games because of shoulder and other upper-body injuries.

He worked out Tuesday, and said he's set for Thursday when the Angels host the Kansas City Royals in the opener of the AL Division Series.

"I feel good, just like yesterday. I ran, threw, faced a lot of pitching, so I'm good to go," Hamilton said.

"There's always pain, but the point is that I'm not having muscle spasms. It's been responding well every day. I didn't have any spasms after I finished, so I'll see how it responds tomorrow," he added.
