Heaney (elbow) has rejoined the Angels, and the team is simply waiting for him to throw a bullpen session before slotting him back into the rotation, Jeff Fletcher of The Orange County Register reports.

EDGE Analysis

Heaney has looked sharp through six minor-league rehab games -- compiling a 2.70 ERA over 27.2 innings -- and he was able to run his pitch count up to 94 in his most recent outing, so he appears to be ready to rejoin the big-league rotation. The 26-year-old has only pitched more than 30 big-league innings in one season, posting a 3.49 ERA and 1.20 WHIP through 105.2 innings back in 2015. The Angels will wait for him to come through a bullpen session before determining when his next start will be.

Heaney (elbow) tossed seven innings of one-run ball in Saturday's rehab start with Triple-A Salt Lake and his next start may come in the majors, Jeff Fletcher of The Orange County Register reports.

EDGE Analysis

The 26-year-old has posted a 2.60 ERA over 27.2 innings during his six-appearance rehab stint, so he appears ready to rejoin the Angels' rotation after undergoing Tommy John surgery just over a year ago. It is an impressive feat that Heaney is slated to make a return after the Angels announced that he would not pitch in 2017, but they also probably didn't envision their club to be contending for a playoff spot this deep into the season either. The southpaw's largest sample size was when he posted a 3.49 ERA and modest 2.8 K/BB ratio over 105.2 innings in 2015, numbers that would translate to a middle-to-back end of the rotation starter depending on the size of a fantasy league. Anything Heaney shows us this year will likely have more value as a barometer to value him next season, but there is certainly some value to be had down the stretch if he can continue the success he has experienced during his rehab stint.

Heaney will make another rehab start for Triple-A Salt Lake on Saturday, Jeff Fletcher of The Orange County Register reports.

EDGE Analysis

Heaney could potentially return to the majors next weekend in Baltimore, but there is no official word yet. The 26-year-old has made five rehab starts thus far between Triple-A Salt Lake and AZL rookie ball, with a 3.05 ERA and 1.21 WHIP over 20.2 innings, as he works his way back from Tommy John surgery in July 2016.

Heaney (elbow) threw five innings in a rehab start for Triple-A Salt Lake on Tuesday, giving up three runs on five hits and no walks. He struck out seven batters in the outing.

EDGE Analysis

Heaney had previously made three rehab appearances with the Angels' rookie-level Arizona League club, but he moved up a few levels on the minor-league ladder Tuesday as he enters the final phase of his 13-month recovery process from Tommy John surgery. The left-hander tossed 81 pitches in the outing and was able to pound the strike zone, an encouraging sign as he prepares for a return from the 60-day disabled list. According to Jeff Fletcher of The Orange County Register, Heaney will likely require two additional rehab starts with Salt Lake before being activated by the Angels, likely around mid-August.

Heaney (elbow) will make a rehab start at Triple-A Salt Lake on Monday, Pedro Moura of The Los Angeles Times reports.

EDGE Analysis

After undergoing Tommy John surgery a year ago, Heaney continues to make progress during his rehab, working his way up from the AZL Rookie League team to Triple-A Salt Lake within the past few weeks. During three appearance in the rookie league, Heaney has allowed just two earned runs while striking out 15 in nine innings of action. The left-hander is expected to throw five or six innings during Monday's outing, and could wind up making a couple more starts at the Triple-A level while building his arm back up to its past form.

Heaney (elbow) will make his first rehab appearance Friday with the AZL Rookie League team, Jeff Fletcher of the Orange County Register reports.

EDGE Analysis

This outing will mark the first time that Heaney takes the mound in a game since undergoing Tommy John surgery last July. Heaney still has a chance to come back to the big leagues this season, but the Angels may choose to take it easy with the left-hander while seeing how he fairs at the minor-league level over the next couple weeks. The team will likely reevaluate Heaney after a few starts and then develop a clear timetable moving forward.

Heaney (elbow) is heading to the AZL Rookie League to begin pitching in games, Mike DiGiovanna of the Los Angeles Times reports.

EDGE Analysis

Heaney underwent Tommy John surgery in July of 2016 and figured to be miss the entire 2017 campaign, but it appears there's a glimmer of hope for a late-season return. The southpaw has been successfully completing bullpen sessions to build up his arm strength, with an eye towards perhaps beginning a long-term rehab assignment within the minor leagues. Heaney posted a 3.49 ERA and a 6.6 K/9 in 2015, his last full season with the Angels.

Heaney (elbow) hopes to return later this season, Jeff Fletcher of the Orange County Register reports.

EDGE Analysis

He has been throwing bullpen sessions and is within a couple weeks of facing hitters in Arizona. That will mark the final phase of his rehab, and should last about six weeks, so he could potentially be pitching in games in a little over two months. He had Tommy John surgery on July 1 of 2016, so it seemed reasonable to expect him to miss all of 2017, but that timetable now sounds premature. His main goal is to finish the season healthy so he can have a normal winter, but it sounds like a late-August/early-September return to the big leagues is in play.

Heaney was transferred to the 60-day disabled list Friday, Jeff Fletcher of the Orange County Register reports.

EDGE Analysis

The left-hander is going to miss the entire 2017 campaign after undergoing Tommy John surgery last summer, so it comes as no surprise that he was transferred to the 60-day DL when a 40-man roster spot was needed. While Heaney keeps his focus on 2018, Deolis Guerra will take his spot on the 40-man.

Heaney was placed on the 10-day DL on Sunday.

EDGE Analysis

This was strictly procedural as Heaney is slated to miss the entire 2017 season after undergoing Tommy John surgery last summer. He will be transferred to the 60-day DL at some point when the team needs to free up a spot on the 40-man roster.
