The Angels have placed pitcher Scott Kazmir on the 15-day disabled list to begin the 2010 season.

Kazmir reported for spring training with a strained right hamstring, then missed a spring start with a tight muscle near his left shoulder.

Los Angeles manager Mike Scioscia is confident Kazmir will return after missing one start and rejoin the team when it begins a three-game series in Yankee Stadium April 13.
