  ARLINGTON, Texas — The Angels are getting plenty of use out of the new 10-day disabled list.
  On Saturday they placed Tyler Skaggs (strained right oblique) and C.J. Cron (foot contusion) on the disabled list, after both were hurt in Friday’s game.
  Manager Mike Scioscia said in both cases, the injuries were minor enough that last year, with a 15-day disabled list, they wouldn’t have been so quick to take them off the roster.

  As part of their due diligence in digging into Eastern Washington wide receiver Cooper Kupp, the Rams requested an official 15-minute sit-down with the record-breaking receiver at the NFL combine in March.
  Teams get only 60 such sit-downs spread over three nights in Indianapolis, and considering there are more than 300 prospects on hand it’s imperative for teams and players to make the most of the opportunity.
  In Kupp’s case, the experience was, well, enlightening.

  The Rams were active and bold to start the third and final day of the NFL draft Saturday, as they made two trades during the fourth round and selected Texas A&M receiver Josh Reynolds and Eastern Washington linebacker Samson Ebukam.
