Chris Nelson (hamstring) could be activated from the disabled list next week. When Nelson strained his right hamstring on August 28, the Angels figured his season was probably over. The infielder has made rapid progress, though. "He still has some work to do, might be about a week, but considering when he did it, you could've been looking at the whole season," manager Mike Scioscia said. "He looks like he'll be in the earlier window of what a hamstring can be."
