Salmon Feels Good In OutfieldTim Salmon saw his first action in the outfield Monday and moved to the cusp of earning an official roster spot. Salmon played three innings of outfield in a minor-league game, two innings in right field and one in left. He got back on a fly ball on the first batter of the game and made a couple of other plays. He even had three at-bats, collecting a double. Afterward, he reported no problems as he iced down his surgically-repaired left knee and left shoulder. "It was strangely familiar," Salmon joked. "I got out there and I was 'Hey, I've been out here before.' It was no problem."

"He's made a lot of progress, but unfortunately not enough to go out and bust out of the box like we'd like him to," Manager Mike Scioscia said. "He doesn't need a lot of playing time to get ready, but if this continues to linger into next week, we're obviously going to have to look at some things."
