Skaggs couldn't escape the first inning of his Cactus League debut against the White Sox on Saturday. He walked four and allowed three runs (none earned) while striking out one in two-thirds of an inning.

EDGE Analysis

Skaggs looked a little rusty in his first game action of the spring, but we shouldn't jump to conclusions after one poor start. The young southpaw did pick a runner off of first, something he said he has been working on after allowing 100 percent of baserunners to steal successfully off of him last season. While he lowered his ERA to a career-low 4.17 in 2016, his walks jumped from 2.4 BB/9 in 2015 to 4.2 BB/9 last year. If he can stay healthy for a whole season, there is definitely upside in that arm, but he is too risky to rely on in most formats right out of the gates.
