"Dan Haren, whose streak of 214 consecutive starts is the longest among active major league pitchers, has been scratched from Saturday night's game against the Yankees because of lower-back tightness.

But the right-hander, whose bullpen session Wednesday in Kansas City was cut short because of back spasms, long-tossed from 200 feet with no discomfort Friday and is scheduled to start Tuesday night against Tampa Bay.

The Angels were told by the Elias Sports Bureau on Friday that there is no "hard rule" for start dates, so having a start pushed back three days won't constitute a "missed start" for Haren, whose streak dates to 2005.

Because the Angels were off Thursday, Manager Mike Scioscia easily juggled his rotation to accommodate Haren's setback, moving Ervin Santana to Saturday, Joel Pineiro to Sunday and Tyler Chatwood to Monday."
