Angels | Chris Nelson activated
The Los Angeles Angels of Anaheim activated 3B Chris Nelson (hamstring) from the 15-day disabled list Tuesday, Sept. 17.  Source: MLB.com
 
BHQ take: Nelson was the near-everyday 3B following the Callaspo trade, but his .227 BA (69% ct%) with sub-par power isn't rosterable. Andrew Romine was the starter again on Tuesday night, and his .300 BA (12-for-40) and 88% ct% in September suggest that he'll at least share time with Nelson through year-end. Romine looks like the better flyer here.  —Jock Thompson
 
Impact: Low
