Josh Hamilton (thumb) will hit off a tee with both hands and play catch Friday in Arizona. Hamilton was seen hitting soft-toss balls with one hand before Wednesday's game. When the Angels return home from a six-game road trip on May 15, Hamilton hopes to have progressed to being ready for live batting practice. Hamilton said he's eyeing a return to the lineup during the Angels' series at home against the Royals on May 23-25.
