The Angels have placed Jered Weaver on the disabled list with a lower-back injury. Weaver said he's hopeful he can return shortly after he's eligible to do so on June 12. It is only the second DL stint of Weaver's career. "It's always disappointing knowing you're not going to be out there pitching two or three times," Weaver said. "I'm a competitor when I get out there, but I'm going to work my butt off in between here to do whatever it takes to get back on that mound."
