Tyler Skaggs held the Blue Jays to three runs in 6 2/3 innings Tuesday in a loss.
Skaggs gave up 11 hits, but only one was truly damaging -- Jose Reyes' two-run homer in the seventh inning with two outs, which ended his night. If he got the out, Los Angeles would have had three innings to overcome a 1-0 deficit. Instead, the game was over. Because of scheduling quirks and missing almost a month with a balky right hamstring, this was his first home start since May 20. The 22-year-old takes a 4-5 record and 4.15 ERA into a weekend date with the Rangers.

Tyler Skaggs limited the White Sox to two runs in 7 2/3 innings Wednesday in his return from the disabled list.
This qualifies as one of Skaggs' best efforts of the year. With a 64/25 K/BB ratio and just six homers allowed in 84 1/3 innings, he's pitched better than his 4.16 ERA indicates. He could be something of a mixed-league sleeper in the second half.

Tyler Skaggs (hamstring) will rejoin the Angels' rotation on Wednesday.
Skaggs struggled in his last rehab outing, but the important thing is that his right hamstring is no longer an issue. The left-hander posted a 4.34 ERA, 1.24 WHIP and 58/24 K/BB ratio over 76 2/3 innings before landing on the disabled list. Hector Santiago is expected to move to the bullpen to accommodate Skaggs.

Despite struggling in his minor league rehab start on Thursday, Tyler Skaggs is still expected to rejoin the Angels starting rotation next week.
That would likely mean that Hector Santiago, who has done an admirable job since rejoining the rotation, would be shifted back to the bullpen. Before hitting the shelf, Skaggs posted a 4.34 ERA, 1.24 WHIP and 58/24 K/BB ratio over 76 2/3 innings.

Tyler Skaggs (hamstring) will make another rehab start with Triple-A Salt Lake on Thursday.
In other words, he will not rejoin the Angels' rotation on Saturday as previously expected. Instead, Hector Santiago will get another start. Skaggs should be activated sometime next week assuming Thursday's outing goes well.

Tyler Skaggs (hamstring) will not return this weekend.
The hope had been that Skaggs would be ready to rejoin the Angels' starting rotation on Saturday against the Rangers, but he was unable to make a scheduled simulated start on Tuesday due to lingering discomfort in his right hamstring. He could be ready late next week.

Tyler Skaggs (hamstring) is on track to rejoin the Angels' rotation on Saturday against the Rangers.

Tyler Skaggs (hamstring) threw 30 pitches in a successful bullpen session on Sunday.
Skaggs indicated that everything went well and that he expects to be activated from the disabled list as soon as he's eligible next weekend. It's likely that Hector Santiago will once again be the odd-man out in the rotation mix upon his return.
