Unofficial now, but looks like Angels have added AJ Achter and Shane Robinson. Craig Gentry likely on DL. Matt Shoemaker not here. Optioned?

Alden Gonzalez of MLB.com reported that Robinson will be starting today.

Shane Robinson is up from Triple-A and starting in LF, which could mean Craig Gentry (back spasms) is on the DL. Nothing official.
