BASEBALL / DAILY REPORT : ANGELS : Hayes Is Disabled but Not on the List

The slow healing of Von Hayes’ strained left hamstring makes it unlikely Hayes will play on this trip. However, Manager Buck Rodgers said he probably won’t put Hayes on the disabled list unless the Angels lose another outfielder, especially a left-handed hitter.

“We’re OK because we’re covered right now,” Rodgers said. “If we hurry him back and he pops it again, it’s a six- or eight-week job. As long as our outfield is healthy, we can go day by day with it.”

Hayes jogged Friday and said he felt some improvement, but he’s still frustrated.

“It isn’t coming along as quickly as I hoped when I first did it,” said Hayes, who suffered the injury last Sunday when he made a sudden stop to avoid Seattle catcher Dave Valle at home plate. “I never did anything like that before, so I didn’t know what to expect. I thought it would be a few days and I’d be back in there. It just doesn’t feel safe. When I make quick stops, it feels like it’s going to blow.”

Indian catcher Sandy Alomar was put on the 15-day disabled list after tearing the skin between his the middle and ring fingers on his right hand. The accident occurred in the top of the third inning, when a ball bounced up and cut him. . . . Gary Gaetti’s two errors gave him 10 for the season, more than the Blue Jays and Tigers have committed. . . . Chuck Crim has allowed nine of 13 inherited runners to score. . . . Mike Fitzgerald’s second-inning single ended his 0-for-12 drought.

Mike Fitzgerald, who lives in Long Beach, was concerned Friday by reports that looting and violence in the Southland had spread to within a few miles of his home. “The night it was announced, my wife said she heard sirens all night,” he said. “The scary thing is that it’s not over.”

Lance Parrish threw and took batting practice Friday, a day after receiving a cortisone shot to alleviate soreness in his right elbow. . . . Pitcher Don Robinson threw for the first time since being put on the disabled list because of an arthritic left hip and back spasms. He said a cortisone shot ended the spasms. . . . The Angels committed 27 errors in 21 games in April, 16 more than they did in 20 games a year ago. They scored 105 runs, compared with 84 runs a year ago. They hit 21 home runs, nine more than 1991; drew 73 walks, 11 more than a year ago and struck out 110 times, two fewer times than in 1991. Their team earned-run average of 4.19 was higher than last April’s 3.35, and the pitchers have given up 31 more hits, but they have made fewer wild pitches, eight to five, and committed one balk compared to two.
