Heaney (elbow) is likely to throw a bullpen session sometime next week, Fabian Ardaya of The Athletic reports.

EDGE Analysis

Heaney advanced to throwing from 110 feet earlier this week and a return to mound work is the next step in his progression. The 27-year-old has been building up his arm strength after receiving a cortisone injection at the start of April, and could seemingly return in mid-May if he can avoid any setbacks.

Heaney (elbow) advanced to playing catch from 110 feet Tuesday, Rhett Bollinger of MLB.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Heaney received a cortisone injection at the start of April and resumed throwing a week ago, so he's still building up his arm strength. The 27-year-old is expected to begin working off a mound within 10-to-12 days, which would be a significant step towards his return.

Heaney (elbow) played catch Tuesday for the first time since receiving a cortisone injection, Fabian Ardaya of The Athletic reports.

EDGE Analysis

Heaney received the injection April 1 and was expected to resume throwing within 7-to-10 days, so to this point he is right on schedule. The 27-year-old still has significant work to do as he ramps up his throwing program and remains without an official timetable for his return.

Heaney (elbow) will undergo a cortisone injection in his left elbow and is expected to begin throwing in 7-to-10 days.

EDGE Analysis

Heaney was shut down from throwing Thursday after suffering a setback, and it's since been determined that an injection is necessary. While a timetable for his return remains a bit murky, it's good news that he'll be cleared to resume his throwing program within the next week or so.

Heaney (elbow) suffered a setback and is scheduled to visit a doctor Monday, Fabian Ardaya of The Athletic reports. Manager Brad Ausmus noted that he's "a little concerned" about the issue.

EDGE Analysis

Heaney apparently felt something in his elbow during his most recent side session, prompting the Angels to shut him down and send him in for further evaluation. The appointment will involve a scan, per Ardaya. This is certainly a worrisome development for the southpaw, who is already on the 10-day IL to open the season.

The Angels placed Heaney (elbow) on the 10-day injured list Thursday, Maria Torres of the Los Angeles Times reports.

EDGE Analysis

Though he'll be unavailable to begin the season, Heaney won't necessarily be ticketed for a lengthy stay on the IL. The southpaw was able to resume mound work earlier this week and could gain clearance to face hitters within the next several days.

Heaney (elbow) completed a bullpen session Monday, J.P. Hoornstra of the Los Angeles Daily News reports.

EDGE Analysis

Heaney tossed 20 pitches in what was his first mound session since being shut down from throwing earlier in the month. The southpaw is still expected to open the season on the injured list, though he's certainly making encouraging progress. Look for Jaime Barria and Felix Pena to both open the season in the Angels' rotation with Heaney on the mend.

Heaney (elbow) will open the season on the injured list, Jeff Fletcher of The Orange County Register reports.

EDGE Analysis

Heaney was shut down from throwing last week due to irritation in his left elbow, and while he's scheduled to resume throwing Sunday, there simply isn't enough time for the southpaw to get back up to speed before the start of the season. With Heaney slated to open the year on the shelf, Jaime Barria and Felix Pena will both likely break camp in the Angels' rotation.

Heaney has been shut down from throwing due to irritation in his left elbow, Jeff Fletcher of The Orange County Register reports.

EDGE Analysis

The MRI didn't show significant damage, but manager Brad Ausmus admitted Heaney might not be ready for Opening Day. He started last season on the shelf with a similar issue and was still able to have a very effective season, but it is certainly troubling that the same elbow that gave him trouble earlier in camp this year is once again an issue.

Heaney was pulled after recording just two outs Friday against the White Sox, but he said afterward that his elbow felt fine, Mike DiGiovanna of the Los Angeles Times reports.

EDGE Analysis

Manager Brad Ausmus decided not to let Heaney complete the inning, as he had grown concerned about the lefty's pitch count (25). Heaney said he was "never really quite comfortable" during the outing, but he threw an additional 20 pitches in the bullpen after leaving the game, and it sounds like he will continue on his normal pitching schedule moving forward. Heaney was pushed back earlier in the month due to left elbow inflammation.
