I know some NFBC owners are asking about Joel Piniero and trying to move him out of their starting lineup for this weekend, but it appears the Angels have not officially placed him on the DL yet. Thus he won't be eligible to be removed from your starting lineup for the weekend.

There are plenty of reports that say the Angels will place him on the DL and the LA Times even said yesterday that he was placed on the DL. But STATS did not get that information from MLB before this morning's deadline and he is not listed on any of these listings:

the Angels official website still has him on the active roster:

ESPN's transaction page doesn't list the move:

Sorry about that.
