Grayson Rodriguez (back) is expected to return to the Angels and start Friday’s game against the Twins.

Rodriguez looked sharp in his most recent rehab start; firing 5 1/3 innings of one-run baseball for Triple-A Salt Lake on Saturday. The Angels have already optioned Sam Aldegheri, who was previously scheduled to start that contest, to the minors. So assuming no setbacks for Rodriguez, it should be the 26-year-old on the bump for that contest.
