(Sports Network) - Los Angeles Angels pitcher Jered Weaver had his start on Friday pushed back to Monday after the right-hander sustained cuts on the middle and ring fingers of his pitching hand.
The injury occurred when he gripped a bench in the visitors' dugout during Tuesday's 5-4 win at Comerica Park.
Weaver was scheduled to toss the series opener versus the White Sox at U.S. Cellular Field, but is now slated to take the mound in Anaheim against the Yankees.

He is 10-10 with a 4.42 earned run average in 27 starts this season for the AL West-leading Angels.
Dustin Moseley will make the start Friday in Weaver's place.
