May 10: Bourjos (hamstring) isn't expected to return to the lineup before early June, MLB.com reports. Now that there's a more distinct timetable for Bourjos, fantasy owners will need to make the determination whether he's worth clogging up a roster spot for another month. Bourjos got off to a nice start before straining the hamstring, hitting two home runs and batting .313 through 22 games.

Apr 30: Bourjos is headed to the 15-day disabled list with a strained left hamstring that he suffered in Monday's 19-inning loss to the Athletics, the Orange County Register's Jeff Fletcher reports. Mike Trout will likely man center field while Bourjos is on the disabled list, with J.B. Shuck taking on the majority of the at-bats in left field. Designated hitter Mark Trumbo could also see some run in the outfield, and the Angels could recall another outfielder at some point this week. As for Bourjos, the timing is unfortunate, as he was off to a surprisingly strong start at the plate. The good news is that he shouldn't be out for much longer than the 15-day minimum, so fantasy owners will just have to hope that the success continues when he returns.

Apr 29: Bourjos left Monday night's game in the 11th inning with a pulled hamstring. Bourjos suffered the injury while trying to beat out a ground out, lunging for the bag. J.B. Shuck replaced him in the game.

Apr 28: Bourjos has been playing through tightness in his throwing shoulder the past week but said the issue doesn't affect him in games, the Los Angeles Times reports. As a safeguard, Bourjos is receiving treatment on the injury just to make sure the condition doesn't worsen any further. With at least one hit on his ledger in every game he's played the past week, it's tough to dispute Bourjos' assertion that the injury doesn't affect him. Continue to use him as you normally would.

Apr 27: Bourjos went 1-for-4 with steal and a run scored in the Angels' loss to the Mariners on Saturday. The steal was not only Bourjos' first of the season, it was his first steal attempt of the season. He is one of the fastest men at the MLB level, but his lack of stolen base opportunities remains something of a mystery. More should come as the season progresses, but he should have received more than one already.

Apr 19: Bourjos went 3-for-4 with a run, a triple and three RBI Friday against the Tigers. Bourjos' lack of a stolen base attempt this season is one of the big mysteries of the Angels' slow start to the season. Still, for someone with his speed, the steals will come. More troublesome is his .298 OBP, and hopefully Friday's three-hit performance sends him on a tear.

Apr 17: Bourjos is not in the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Twins, according to Jeff Fletcher of the Orange County Register. Bourjos is just 1-for-16 over his last four games, so he will get Wednesday off as a mental break. Mike Trout will slide over to center field, and J.B. Shuck will get the start in left.

Apr 15: Bourjos hit a solo home run off Kevin Correia to lead off Monday's game against the Twins. Bourjos hasn't been getting on base consistently and has yet to attempt a steal, but he has shown solid power so far this season, and now has two home runs and a triple among his nine hits. He will likely continue to bat leadoff until either Erick Aybar (heel) or Alberto Callaspo (calf) returns to the lineup. Aybar was placed on the 15-day disabled list Saturday, and Callaspo could be joining him soon, though officially he is day-to-day. Bourjos has fantastic speed and should benefit from hitting in front of studs like Mike Trout and Albert Pujols, but he hasn't shown much of a knack for stealing bases to this point in his young career.

Apr 3: Bourjos is not the lineup Wednesday against the Reds, MLB.com reports. With the Angels playing in a National League park, the team will use Mark Trumbo in the outfield with the DH spot unavailable, likely leaving Bourjos as a defensive replacement in the late innings. Once the Angels resume playing against AL teams, Bourjos should be penciled in for regular playing time in center field, where he'll be able to showcase his fantastic defense on a nearly every-night basis.

Apr 1: Bourjos will not start in center field Monday in the Angels' season opener in Cincinnati, MLB.com reports. Bourjos, the Angels' starting center fielder, slashed a measly .212/.304/.303 with two homers and nine RBI in 99 at-bats against right-handers last season. Since the Angels are facing a formidable one in Johnny Cueto, Bourjos will give way to Mike Trout in center field, while Mike Trumbo takes over in left. It remains to be seen if Bourjos will take the field Wednesday against another righty, Mat Latos.

Mar 24: Bourjos is batting .333 with two home runs, four triples, five walks, 17 strikeouts, 10 RBI, and three stolen bases through 51 spring at-bats. The fantastic spring is obviously a good sign for Bourjos' fantasy prospects this season, but the Angels' starting center fielder still has limited upside at the plate. Most of his value is based on his potential as a base stealer, so fantasy owners may want to keep an eye on that early in the year. Bourjos has not shown a great knack for swiping bags to this point in his big league career, despite possessing elite speed. He's expected to bat ninth in a loaded lineup and should benefit from hitting in front of the best leadoff hitter in baseball.

Mar 9: Bourjos went 2-for-3 with a run and two RBI in Saturday's Cactus League loss to the Rockies. Bourjos is now 6-for-21 this spring, with two triples but no home runs. He's on track to open the season as the Angels' starting center fielder and is expected to bat towards the bottom of the lineup.

Feb 19: Angels manager Mike Scioscia may not be 100 percent committed to Bourjos as the starting center fielder, the LA Times reports. "Peter is definitely in the mix to earn playing time; he gives us an incredible defensive look in the outfield," Scioscia said. "But there are a lot of lineups, depending on who the designated hitter is and if things change, where Trout is in center. We have some guys who are fighting for playing time." For what it's worth, the Angels' front office seems to be committed to Bourjos as the everyday center fielder. Early vibes from Scioscia indicate he isn't sold, but that shouldn't prevent Bourjos from getting first crack at a starting gig. If Bourjos struggles early, Vernon Wells could see more playing time at his expense.

Feb 12: Bourjos will likely be towards the bottom of the lineup to start the season. Bourjos' fantasy prospects would be quite a bit better if he was slotted for the No. 2 spot in the lineup, right between Mike Trout and Albert Pujols. Although Bourjos could move up to that spot at some point in the future, it looks like some combination of Erick Aybar, Alberto Callaspo, and Howie Kendrick will handle the job for now.
