Angels reassigned RHP Chad Cordero to minor league camp.
Cordero has been sitting in the low-90s this spring, which is encouraging. He also put up a 19.06 ERA and 3.00 WHIP over seven Cactus League appearances, which is not encouraging. The 30-year-old right-hander is attempting a comeback after nearly two years away from the game due to shoulder woes. He'll report to Triple-A Salt Lake to start the season.

Chad Cordero was knocked around for six runs over two-thirds of an inning in Monday's loss to the Athletics.
Ouch. Cordero allowed five hits and hit a batter in the nightmare outing. The 30-year-old right-hander is attempting a comeback this spring after nearly two years away from the game, so he can't afford too many clunkers.

Chad Cordero hit 91 mph with his fastball Monday in his Cactus League debut with the Angels.
Cordero surrendered a home run to light-hitting shortstop Brendan Ryan, but he retired the other three Mariners hitters he faced. The right-hander hasn't appeared in the major leagues since 2010, primarily because of shoulder problems. He is likely to open the season at Triple-A.

Angels signed RHP Chad Cordero to a minor league contract with an invitation to spring training.
Cordero didn't pitch at all in 2012 and hasn't appeared in the majors since 2010, mostly due to shoulder issues. The former Nationals closer is obviously a longshot to crack the Opening Day roster.

Chad Cordero is hoping to make a comeback next year.
The 30-year-old right-hander had a 2.89 ERA and 128 saves over parts of seven seasons in the major leagues between the Expos, Nationals and Mariners, but has spent the past four years battling shoulder problems. He led the National League with 47 saves in 2005, when he made his lone All-Star appearance. Cordero announced his retirement after he was released by the Blue Jays last season, but he's since reconsidered.

Chad Cordero has announced his retirement.
Cordero recently joined the St. Paul Saints of the independent Northern League after being released by the Blue Jays last month. The 29-year-old right-hander had a 2.89 ERA and 128 saves over parts of seven seasons in the major leagues between the Expos, Nationals and Mariners, but has spent the better part of the past three years battling with shoulder problems. He led the National League with 47 saves in 2005, when he made his lone All-Star appearance.
