Shoemaker allowed two runs on two hits a pair of walks while striking out three across three innings. He didn't factor into the decision during Sunday's start versus the Athletics.

EDGE Analysis

Shoemaker was removed after three largely inefficient innings in what was the final game of the 2018 season for Los Angeles. The 32-year-old was able able to start seven games this year after suffering a right forearm injury following his first outing in late March. He finished the season with a 4.94 ERA and 33:10 K:BB over 31 innings.

Shoemaker is scheduled to start Sunday's game against the Athletics, Maria Guardado of MLB.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Felix Pena started the Angels' first game of the week Monday against the Rangers and had been lined up to start the season finale, but the team elected to shut down the 28-year-old due to workload concerns. Thanks to an off-day Thursday, Shoemaker, who last pitched Tuesday, will be able to take the hill against Oakland on his normal four days' rest. After missing most of the season while recovering from a forearm injury, Shoemaker has been somewhat erratic since returning from the disabled list earlier this month. He's failed to work longer than five innings in any of his five starts and has posted an unremarkable 4.84 ERA and 1.21 WHIP, though his 26:4 K:BB has been a bright spot.

Shoemaker allowed one run on four hits while striking out seven over five innings in Tuesday's no-decision against the Rangers.

EDGE Analysis

It was a strong bounce-back performance for Shoemaker, as he was able to silence the Texas lineup aside from a Joey Gallo solo home run. The 31-year-old has struggled to regain his form since returning at the start of the month, working to a 4.84 ERA in five starts, though he does sport an impressive 26:4 K:BB over 22.1 innings in that span. While he'd be able to start Sunday on full rest, at the moment Shoemaker isn't lined up to make another start this season.

Shoemaker will start Friday against the Mariners, Jeff Fletcher of The Orange County Register reports.

EDGE Analysis

Shoemaker was originally scheduled to start Thursday's series opener against Seattle, but the Angels will go with a bullpen game instead to afford the right-hander an extra day of rest. He owns a shiny 2.70 ERA and 1.10 WHIP with seven strikeouts across two starts (10 innings) since returning from the disabled list at the beginning of September.

Shoemaker (2-0) picked up the win Saturday, giving up three runs on seven hits and a walk over five innings while striking out four in a 12-3 victory over the White Sox.

EDGE Analysis

While he has yet to pitch into the sixth inning, Shoemaker's looked solid through two starts since returning from a lengthy DL stint. The right-hander will take a 3.45 ERA into his next outing Thursday at home against the Mariners.

Shoemaker (forearm) will be activated from the 60-day disabled list and start Monday's game against the Rangers.

EDGE Analysis

Shoemaker will take the hill for the big club for the first time since March 31 after sustaining a forearm strain in that contest that eventually required surgery. The right-hander was dominant in his lone rehab start at High-A Inland Empire last week with six strikeouts over four no-hit innings, which was enough for the Angels to sign off on his activation. Because Shoemaker only tossed 59 pitches in that outing and has been idle for the better part of five months, he'll likely be capped at 60-to-70 pitches in his return to the rotation.

Shoemaker (forearm) completed a bullpen session Saturday and could start Monday's game against the Rangers, Maria I. Guardado of MLB.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Shoemaker has been on the disabled list since early April as he's battled nerve issues and underwent surgery on his right forearm. The 31-year-old had a rehab start in which he threw 59 pitches Wednesday, and the expanded rosters for September would allow the Angels to easily limit his pitch count. Regardless, don't expect the team to take any unnecessary risks with the right-hander, who's only major-league game in 2018 came back in March.

Shoemaker (forearm) worked four no-hit innings Wednesday in his rehab start for High-A Inland Empire, giving up one unearned run and issuing two walks while striking out six.

EDGE Analysis

Shoemaker was about as sharp as the Angels could have hoped in his first outing at any level since March 31. The right-hander tossed 59 pitches (37 strikes) in the start and sported a fastball that sat in the 91-to-93 mile-per-hour range for most of the night and topped out at 95, according to Jeff Fletcher of The Orange County Register. Shoemaker could come off the 60-day disabled list when rosters expand Saturday and make his next start with the big club a few days later, but the Angels may prefer to have him pitch once more in the minors in order to build his arm up a little more.

Shoemaker (forearm) is set to embark on a minor-league assignment Wednesday for High-A Inland Empire, Jeff Fletcher of The Orange County Register reports.

EDGE Analysis

Shoemaker felt good after tossing a simulated game Friday, as he faced live hitters for the first time since having surgery on his throwing forearm. If he manages to pitch without issue in his rehab start, Shoemaker will likely be ready to return from the disabled list, per Fletcher.

Shoemaker (forearm) threw a three-inning simulated game Friday, Fabian Ardaya of The Athletic Los Angeles reports.

EDGE Analysis

Shoemaker faced live hitters for the first time since undergoing surgery on his right forearm in May, and he tossed around 45 pitches without issue. The next step in his throwing program will likely be to throw an extended sim game or to begin a minor-league stint.
