ST. PETERSBURG, Fla. — The Angels are getting closer to having some difficult decisions with their bullpen.

A night after Huston Street and Mike Morin pitched one perfect inning apiece, opening their rehab assignments at Triple-A, Manager Mike Scioscia said Cam Bedrosian is scheduled to face some hitters in the next couple of days at extended spring training in Arizona.

“He still has a little work to do, but he’s made some huge jumps in the last 10 days,” Scioscia said Thursday morning. “You knew it was going to happen sometime. Maybe it took a little longer, but he feels good.”

On deck: Angels at Marlins, Friday, 4 p.m. Bedrosian, who was out with a strained groin, figures to be on a rehab assignment within a week or 10 days. Street, who had a strained lat, is not eligible to be activated until Wednesday. Morin, who had a strained neck, could be ready sooner.

Morin has options, so there’s no guarantee that he will even be added to the big league bullpen when he’s ready.

Bedrosian and Street, however, will need to be added to the major league roster when they are ready. The only Angels relievers who have options are Keynan Middleton and Jose Alvarez, and Alvarez isn’t going anywhere because he’s been effective and he’s the only lefty.

How the Angels use Bedrosian and Street also remains to be seen. Bud Norris has performed well as the closer since Bedrosian has been out.

“We hope (to have tough decisions),” Scioscia said. “When you have tough decisions, whether it’s the lineup or who is on your roster, or what roles they are in, that’s definitely a positive reflection on the depth of your team.”

PLAN FOR PUJOLS

Albert Pujols got the day off Thursday, but Scioscia said he’s been doing well since coming back from a hamstring injury that cost him three games last weekend.

“On a couple ground balls, you’ve seen him run with a better stride than he had a week ago before we shut him down,” Scioscia said. “Maybe not quite as clean as he was early in the year when he had a really nice stride. He feels he’s coming along. He feels like he can do the things he needs to do. Most important is where he is in the batter’s box.”

This weekend, however, at Marlins Park, Pujols will need to do more than just hit. Without the designated hitter available, the Angels will go day by day to determine whether Pujols feels well enough to play first base.

“We’re going to wait and see where he is,” Scioscia said.

Yunel Escobar has begun running, and is expected to run the bases this weekend, Scioscia said. Escobar (strained hamstring) is expected to be out another two or three weeks. …

Slumping Danny Espinosa was in the starting lineup at second base Thursday. He has started every other game over the past week. The Angels would prefer to limit his starts to games against lefties while he’s slumping, but they are in a string of facing very few lefties. Scioscia said Espinosa is “working very hard on a number of things. Hopefully, he can find a little better feel up there.” …

The Angels will take some extra time before Friday’s game for their players to get used to Marlins Park, a park in which many of their players have never been. It is particularly important for outfielders to get to know how to play balls off the wall and in the corners.

The Angels are the only team that has never played at Marlins Park, which opened in 2012. The Angels last played in Miami in 2011.
