Skaggs was tossed around by the Rangers on Friday, allowing six runs (five earned) on five hits and three walks while striking out one in just two innings of work.

EDGE Analysis

The southpaw wasn't sharp by any means in this one, as he needed 70 pitches to even complete his pair of frames. Thankfully for him, the offense rallied to take him off the hook for the loss, but his awful showing still brought his ERA and WHIP up to 4.89 and 1.46, respectively. This marks the third start in a row that he's served up at least four runs, and to add insult to injury, he has a rough 8:6 K:BB in that span. The myriad of injuries affecting the Halos' pitching staff will likely keep him in the rotation even while the team is contending for a playoff spot, but his fantasy relevance certainly has taken a hit with this rough patch. Skaggs is lined up to take on the Athletics on Wednesday for his next start.
