The Angels swapped one Weaver brother for another Friday, designating Jeff for assignment and replacing him with Jered from Triple-A Salt Lake. Jeff Weaver got pounded in his most recent start, giving up six runs in two innings of a 12-4 loss to the Rockies on Monday. "No one took his performance any harder than Jeff did," manager Mike Scioscia said. "He had shown some signs of throwing the ball much better his last six starts up until the last one. He was encouraged he was going to keep moving forward. He's got about a half-season under his belt and the performance we would have expected wasn't quite there." Jered originally had his contract purchased by the Angels May 26 and was optioned June 17. He is 4-0 with a 1.37 ERA in four starts for the struggling club. "This was the only direction we could go to get Jered in our rotation," Scioscia said. "Jered is ready and hopefully he's going to step in and give us a boost."
