Diamondbacks recalled LHP Tyler Skaggs from Triple-A Reno. Skaggs will start the first half of Monday's doubleheader against the Rangers. The talented left-hander has posted a 2.66 ERA and 22/3 K/BB ratio over his last 20 1/3 innings at the Triple-A level and is a decent streaming option in deeper mixed fantasy formats.

Tyler Skaggs will be called up to start the first game of Monday's doubleheader against the Rangers. Ian Kennedy had been slated to go, but he has a cut on his finger. Skaggs got off to a terribly slow start at Triple-A Reno this season but has turned it on of late, posting a 2.66 ERA and 22/3 K/BB ratio over his last 20 1/3 innings. He's worth streaming in deeper formats.

Diamondbacks optioned LHP Tyler Skaggs to Triple-A Reno. So the battle for the Diamondbacks' final rotation spot is down to Patrick Corbin and Randall Delgado. Skaggs posted an ERA of 11.00 in nine Cactus League innings. He should pitch in the majors at some point in 2013.

Tyler Skaggs came on in relief of starter Ian Kennedy and allowed five runs -- two earned -- in 2 2/3 innings in Saturday's loss to the Padres. It's been a disastrous spring for the 21-year-old, who now has an 11.00 ERA in Cactus League play. Control was an issue for Skaggs Saturday, as he walked four batters in his 2 2/3 innings. The fact that he's now coming out of the bullpen doesn't bode well for his chances of securing the fifth spot in the Diamondbacks rotation. It's looking more and more like Skaggs will be on the outside looking in when the season starts.

Tyler Skaggs allowed four runs and was charged with his second loss in Sunday's game against the Athletics. Skaggs has really struggled this spring and has a 12.79 ERA in his first four appearances. He gave up four hits and two walks over four innings of work, including a two-run homer to Jed Lowrie. The Diamondbacks are giving Skaggs every opportunity to win a rotation spot this spring, but he'll need to get things turned around quickly to avoid being sent back down to the minors.

Tyler Skaggs held Mexico scoreless over three innings in Tuesday's exhibition game. Skaggs allowed three hits and a walk while striking out three. The left-hander really struggled in his first two spring outings, so it's good to see him taking a step in the right direction. He's competing for the No. 5 spot in the D'Backs rotation.

Tyler Skaggs was rocked for the second straight Cactus League outing Thursday against the Reds, allowing three runs on three hits and two walks over just 2/3 of an inning. He also threw a wild pitch. Skaggs has now allowed seven runs -- five earned -- and nine baserunners over his first 2 1/3 spring innings. He has time to right the ship, but it's not an ideal start as he tries to win a spot in the Diamondbacks' rotation.

Tyler Skaggs got hit around Saturday in the Diamondbacks' Cactus League loss to the Rockies. Skaggs allowed four runs -- two earned -- on four hits over 1 2/3 innings. But this is little cause for concern for the 21-year-old lefty, who figures to be part of the Diamondbacks' Opening Day starting rotation. Skaggs made six starts with the club in 2012 and is one of the team's top prospects. Saturday was nothing more than a typical first-start-of-spring stat line.

Jeff Passan of Yahoo! Sports hears that the Indians are pushing for Diamondbacks prospect left-hander Tyler Skaggs in possible Asdrubal Cabrera deal. Meanwhile, the Diamondbacks would prefer to include Trevor Bauer, which potentially speaks to the way he has fallen out of favor with the organization. Skaggs posted a 5.83 ERA over his first six major league starts this year, but has plenty of upside.

The Diamondbacks have shut Tyler Skaggs down for the rest of the season.
