| June 9, 2005 Angels manager Mike Scioscia indicated that Vladimir Guerrero could be activated for this weekend's series against the Mets, according to the LA Times. Guerrero took on-field batting practice Wednesday for the first time since suffering his shoulder injury. "I was really watching his swing for flaws, but when he's hitting the ball 75 rows up there aren't too many flaws to find," hitting coach Mickey Hatcher said. "He's having fun, and there's no signs of injury." |
| June 8, 2005 Vladimir Guerrero will be given a day off Thursday after taking batting practice from a pitcher for the first time in his injury rehab, according to the AP.

He remains on course to swing a bat for the first time early next week, but he won't do so until being examined and cleared by a physician in Atlanta on Monday. |

| May 29, 2005 Angels manager Mike Scioscia said Vladimir Guerrero, on the 15-day disabled list because of a partially dislocated left shoulder, probably won't be activated when eligible next Sunday, according to the AP. "Probably a little past that," Scioscia said. "We'll get a better idea this week. This is going to heal at its own pace." |
| May 29, 2005 The LA Times reports that Vladimir Guerrero has yet to test his partially dislocated shoulder by hitting. "He's progressing every day, so we're confident he's going to be back in a reasonable amount of time," manager Mike Scioscia said. |
| May 25, 2005 While Vladimir Guerrero may not be ready to come off the disabled list when eligible June 5, manager Mike Scioscia said, "But nothing is pointing to this being a one- or two-month ordeal," according to the LA Times. An MRI confirmed that surgery would not be required on his partially dislocated shoulder. |

| May 24, 2005 The L.A. Times reports that Vladimir Guerrero was out of his sling, jogging and doing exercises on Monday. He is scheduled for an MRI on his injured shoulder today. "He's moving in the right direction," manager Mike Scioscia said. |
| May 22, 2005 Vladimir Guerrero said Sunday that he expects to be able to return from his shoulder injury in about two weeks. However, no timetable will be set until after an MRI Monday or Tuesday. |
| May 21, 2005 The Angels placed Vladimir Guerrero on the disabled list Saturday after he suffered a partially dislocated left shoulder the day before. "I think two weeks gives us a time frame to see where he's at," team physician Dr. Lewis Yocum said. "It's less traumatic than a true dislocation." However, Yocum said surgery is a possibility. Guerrero will have an MRI taken Monday or Tuesday, once the swelling dissipates. |
| May 21, 2005 X-rays revealed that Vladimir Guerrero suffered a partial dislocation of his left shoulder during last night's game, according to the LA Times.

| April 12, 2005 Vladimir Guerrero left Tuesday's game with a right knee. He suffered the injury on a double-steal in the third inning, though he remained in the game for another at-bat. Guerrero is listed as day-to-day. |
| February 23, 2005 Vladimir Guerrero worked in the batting cage yesterday, showing no signs of the sprained right thumb he sustained Dec. 26 in a Dominican winter league game, according to the LA Times. "It's better, I'm fine," Guerrero said through an interpreter. "I've had two days of taking swings, and it feels great. I knew I had two months [after the injury] to get ready, so I wasn't concerned." |
