EDGE Analysis

The official MLB schedule has yet to be released, but Heaney is set to open things on the mound for the Angels on July 23 or 24. The southpaw battled multiple injuries in 2019 and struggled with a 4.91 ERA, 1.29 WHIP and 118:30 K:BB over 95.1 innings, but he'll look to get back on track during the shortened 2020 campaign.
