MINNEAPOLIS - The Angels placed right-hander Bartolo Colon, the AL's reigning Cy Young Award winner, on the disabled list Wednesday with inflammation in his throwing shoulder.

The move was made retroactive to Sunday, when Colon, whose ERA is 7.07, lost to Baltimore. Right-hander Kevin Gregg was recalled from Triple-A Salt Lake.

Right-hander Hector Carrasco is scheduled to take Colon's turn in the rotation today.

GREINKE REPORTS: Royals right-hander Zack Greinke, who left the team in spring training Feb. 25 and went to his Florida home, has reported to extended spring training in Surprise, Ariz.

Greinke reported to Surprise on Tuesday and worked out. It's uncertain when he might return to the Royals.

Greinke had a 3.97 ERA in 145 innings as a rookie in 2004 but saw it soar to 5.80 last season.

ORIOLES: Baltimore shuffled outfielders, optioning Val Majewski to Triple-A Ottawa, placing outfielder Luis Matos on the 15-day disabled list and purchasing the contract of outfielder Luis Terrero from the Lynx. "We didn't want Val sitting on the bench," manager Sam Perlozzo said.

RANGERS: Second baseman Mark DeRosa went on the 15-day disabled list with a high sprain in his left ankle. The contract of former first-round pick Drew Meyer was purchased from Triple-A Oklahoma.
