Heaney (elbow) is starting Friday's spring game against the White Sox, Mike DiGiovanna of the Los Angeles Times reports.

EDGE Analysis

Heaney's successful bullpen session earlier this week cleared his return to game action from the left elbow inflammation. The elbow issue pushed back the 27-year-old's pitching schedule a few days, but barring any setbacks shouldn't impact is availability for Opening Day.

Manager Brad Ausmus said Heaney's (elbow) bullpen session Monday went well, Rhett Bollinger of MLB.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Heaney, who was scratched from his previous start due to left elbow inflammation, is on track to rejoin the rotation Friday against the White Sox after getting through Monday's 30-pitch bullpen with no issues. The Angels will likely still wait and see how the southpaw feels in the coming days before confirming his return, but he's certainly trending in the right direction. Assuming Heaney is cleared to take the mound Friday, he should still have plenty of time to get up to speed before Opening Day, barring setbacks.

EDGE Analysis

Heaney apparently complained of the issue after making his 2019 spring debut Tuesday against the Athletics. Elbow inflammation is often cause for concern, but the 27-year-old continues to participate in long toss and has no MRI scheduled. The injury is being described as minor but it's unclear when Heaney will next take the mound.

Heaney allowed three runs (two earned) on three hits and three walks in Tuesday's spring game against Oakland.

EDGE Analysis

Heaney's 2019 spring debut was one to forget as it took only two batters before needing a mound visit. The 27-year-old re-signed with the Angels on a one-year deal after setting career highs with 30 starts and 180 innings last season.

EDGE Analysis

Heaney has spent time in the majors during each of the past five seasons, with his 30-start campaign in 2018 leading to a sizable pay raise for the southpaw. The 27-year-old had a 4.15 ERA, 1.20 WHIP and 9.0 K/9 over 180 innings last season, and is set to enter 2019 as a key piece of the Angels' starting rotation.

Heaney tossed seven innings of two-run ball while giving up seven hits and two walks while racking up 10 strikeouts in a no-decision against Texas on Wednesday.

EDGE Analysis

Heaney rebounded in fine fashion from his rough start against the Astros last time out (six runs over three innings). It was the 27-year-old's fifth outing in which he went at least seven frames while recording double-digit strikeouts. The southpaw did surrender a pair of round-trippers for the third consecutive start, bumping his rate up to 1.4 HR/9 on the year. Outside of a pedestrian homer rate, Heaney's other averages (4.15 ERA, 9.0 K/9 and 2.2 BB/9) have been solid through 180 healthy innings this season.

Heaney (9-9) threw seven shutout innings, allowing three hits and striking out 12 while picking up the win against the White Sox on Sunday.

He managed to bounce back from a loss his last time out after surrendering four runs over six innings to the Rangers on Tuesday. Heaney owns a 3.98 ERA and 1.16 WHIP with a 161:40 K:BB over 165 frames this season.
