Angels released INF Bill Hall.

Hall was limited to just nine at-bats this spring due to a calf strain that's still an issue. It's possible he'll return to the club eventually after he gets healthy.

Bill Hall can become a free agent on March 26, but he said Wednesday that he would consider staying with the Angels on a minor league deal.

Per the terms of Hall's minor league deal, the Angels are supposed to decide by March 26 whether to include him on their 25-man roster. That's not going to happen now that he's nursing a left calf strain, but he could still stick around in the organization.

Hall will visit Dr. Lewis Yocum on Friday before it's determined how much time he'll miss. His slim chances at winning an Opening Day roster spot have gone out the window.

The Orioles haven't made a move yet, but Hall is in the clubhouse Wednesday afternoon and could provide some depth with Lew Ford nursing a groin injury. The 32-year-old went 2-for-9 in seven games during a brief stint with the O's earlier this year. He would have to be added to the 40-man roster.

Hall's trip back to the minors was short, as he was just designated for assignment a week ago. It's not clear yet what the corresponding move will be. The O's will have to clear a spot on the 40-man roster, but they can do so easily by moving Brian Roberts (concussion) to the 60-day DL.
