SALT LAKE CITY (June 15, 2010) - The Los Angeles Angels of Anaheim announced today that infielder Brandon Wood has completed his rehab assignment with Triple-A Salt Lake and will return to the Angels active roster in tonight's home game against Milwaukee. In a corresponding move, the Angels optioned right-handed pitcher Rafael Rodriguez to Salt Lake.

Wood began the 2010 season on the Angels opening day roster for the first time in his career and has posted a .156 batting average in 39 games for the Halos this season. A native of Austin, Texas, Wood was originally selected by the Angels in the first round of the 2003 draft.
