"Angels outfielder Torii Hunter had appeared in all 76 of the club's games until sitting out Friday against the Dodgers after he suffered a rib bruise Wednesday.

Manager Mike Scioscia said Hunter, who left Wednesday's game at Florida in the fifth inning after crashing into the right-field wall as he made a catch, probably will miss a couple of days.

Hunter is listed as day-to-day after X-rays taken Thursday came back negative.

Scioscia also said reliever Fernando Rodney, who was eligible to come off the disabled list Friday, needs more time before returning from upper-back tightness that has sidelined him since June 9.

The right-hander was scheduled to play catch Friday and Scioscia said they hope to have him throwing off the mound early next week. He is 2-3 with a 4.09 earned-run average in 26 games."
