Shoemaker (forearm) is confident he'll be back in action at some point in September, Jeff Fletcher of The Orange County Register reports.

EDGE Analysis

Shoemaker made just a single start this season before suffering a forearm strain, which eventually required surgery. He has been throwing bullpen sessions in recent weeks and will throw a three-inning simulated game Friday.

Shoemaker (forearm) threw 20 fastballs in a bullpen session Monday, Fabian Ardaya of The Athletic Los Angeles reports.

EDGE Analysis

Shoemaker said everything went well during Monday's bullpen -- his first since going under the knife at the end of May. The right-hander added that he plans to throw 25 fastballs in another bullpen session Wednesday before incorporating his full repertoire in a bullpen session over the weekend. He'll still need to complete a minor-league rehab stint before rejoining the big-league club, but Shoemaker is on the right track.

Shoemaker (forearm) played long toss Monday, Jeff Miller of the Los Angeles Times reports.

EDGE Analysis

Shoemaker, who underwent surgery on his right forearm at the end of May, is slowly working his way through a throwing program that he picked up July 10. He'll still need to resume mound work and complete a minor-league rehab stint before being cleared to rejoin the Angels, but that could happen sometime before the end of the season if all goes well in his rehab.

Shoemaker (forearm) is throwing from 90 feet and could soon progress to long toss, Fabian Ardaya of The Athletic Los Angeles reports.

EDGE Analysis

Shoemaker began his throwing program July 10 and he appears to be progressing nicely in his rehab work. The 31-year-old had been shut down since late May after undergoing surgery to repair the nerve issue in his right forearm. Shoemaker still has significant work to do -- including a multi-start minor-league rehab assignment -- but appears on track for a return in 2018.

Shoemaker (forearm) is scheduled to begin a throwing program Tuesday, Mike DiGiovanna of the Los Angeles Times reports.

EDGE Analysis

Shoemaker has been shut down since early May after suffering a setback in his recovery from a nerve issue in his forearm that ultimately required surgery later that month. The right-hander is hopeful to pitch again this season, but it may take him more than a month to progress from flat-ground throwing to the point where he's capable of covering multiple innings for the big club. The Angels should have a better idea regarding a target return date for the right-hander once he's cleared to begin a multi-start minor-league rehab assignment.

Shoemaker had surgery on his right forearm Tuesday, Jeff Fletcher of The Orange County Register reports.

EDGE Analysis

Shoemaker was shifted to the 60-day disabled list May 19, and he went under the knife to decompress the nerves in his right forearm Tuesday. At this point, the timetable for his return remains unclear.

Shoemaker (forearm) was moved to the 60-day disabled list Saturday.

EDGE Analysis

It's not a great sign for Shoemaker, who hit the disabled list back in early April after making just one start. It seems to indicate that things aren't going well in his recovery, especially after reports Friday noted that he does not yet have a clear diagnosis on the nerve compression in his forearm and that he may end up needing surgery.

Shoemaker does not have a clear diagnosis on the nerve compression in his forearm, but surgery has been discussed as an option, Fabian Ardaya of The Athletic Los Angeles reports.

EDGE Analysis

Shoemaker hasn't appeared since his first start of the season May 31 against Oakland. He had surgery on the same forearm to release the radial nerve last August and was only able to make 14 starts last season due to injuries. If Shoemaker is forced to go under the knife again, he may have to miss the rest of 2018 as well. Shoemaker will visit Dr. Susan Mackinnon in St. Louis again next week, after which we can expect a decision.

Shoemaker (forearm) will be sent to see a nerve specialist next week, Maria Guardado of MLB.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

This is a concerning development after Shoemaker suffered a setback during his most recent bullpen session. He's been dealing with a nerve issue in his pitching arm since early in the season but did show signs of improvement over the course of April before the setback. The visit with the specialist will give more specifics on Shoemaker's exact injury and recovery timeline.

Shoemaker (forearm) has been throwing off a mound, the Orange County Register reports.

EDGE Analysis

Shoemaker made just one start this year before being shelved with a forearm strain. Throwing off a mound indicates that he's making progress in his recovery, but no specific timeline for his return has emerged. Given the length of his absence, he'll almost certainly need a rehab start or two before returning to the big-league club.
