Skaggs (groin) is expected to throw a simulated game this week, Jeff Fletcher of the Orange County Register reports.
EDGE Analysis
It's unclear exactly when the Angels intend to have the southpaw throw his sim game, but if it occurs Monday or Tuesday, there's a chance he could slot back into the rotation as soon as next weekend against the Mariners. He would presumably replace Odrisamer Despaigne in the rotation, though Skaggs needs to get through his simulated game without issue before the team can make any rotation plans. Prior to his latest injury, the lefty posted a 3.78 ERA and a 1.31 WHIP across 116.2 frames.

Skaggs (groin) felt good after participating in long toss Sunday, and a bullpen session could be on tap in the coming days, according to Jeff Fletcher of The Orange County Register.
EDGE Analysis
Sunday's long toss marked the first step in the rehab process for Skaggs after he landed on the disabled list with an adductor strain Aug. 12. A bullpen session will be the next course of action, and if all goes well, the southpaw should be able to return to the mound sometime in September.

Skaggs (groin) has yet to resume throwing after landing on the disabled list August 12 with a left adductor strain, according to Jeff Fletcher of The Orange County Register.
EDGE Analysis
This was the first update the Halos provided on their injured starter, and it puts Skaggs in jeopardy of missing more than the minimum one start required while on the DL. Expect a firmer timetable to be released once the southpaw begins the rehab process.

Skaggs was placed on the 10-day disabled list Sunday due to a left adductor strain.
EDGE Analysis
Skaggs' injury is now clear, and as a result, the Angels will send him to the DL to rest his ailing adductor. Eduardo Paredes will take his spot on the active roster for the time being. It's unclear how much time Skaggs will miss, but he will for sure miss his next start now.

Skaggs is questionable for his next start due to a groin injury, Mike DiGiovanna of the Los Angeles Times reports.
EDGE Analysis
Skaggs hasn't been placed on the disabled list just yet, but the Angels are considering it apparently. Reliever Eduardo Paredes was seen in the clubhouse, presumably as an option in case the southpaw starter needs to hit the DL. More information on Skaggs should come forth in the coming days, though it truly seems like a day-to-day situation at this point.

Skaggs (hip) will start Saturday against Oakland, Fabian Ardaya of The Athletic Los Angeles reports.
EDGE Analysis
Skaggs will wind up missing just one start with a left adductor strain. He was lit up for 10 runs in his most recent start, but that anomaly appears to have been injury-related. He'll look to get back on track Saturday against a division rival.

Angels manager Mike Scioscia remains hopeful that Skaggs (hip) will return from the 10-day disabled list to start Saturday's game against the Athletics, Jeff Fletcher of The Orange County Register reports.
EDGE Analysis
It's unclear if Skaggs has resumed throwing since being placed on the DL last weekend with a left adductor strain, but the Angels aren't yet ready to rule out activating him when first eligible. If Skaggs fails to demonstrate the progress the Angels hope he will over the next few days, long reliever Taylor Cole, who tossed 3.2 scoreless innings out of the bullpen Sunday in Cleveland, could pick up a spot start.

Skaggs was placed on the 10-day disabled list Saturday with a left adductor strain.
EDGE Analysis
Skaggs was awful in his last start, allowing 10 runs Tuesday against the Rays. That blip now appears to be injury-related. The DL stint was backdated to Wednesday, and Skaggs expects to miss just one start, so he could return Aug. 11 against Oakland. Taylor Cole was called up to take his place on the roster.

Skaggs (8-7) allowed 10 runs on eight hits and three walks across 3.1 innings Tuesday in a loss to the Rays. He struck out three.
EDGE Analysis
Skaggs allowed a solo home run in the first inning and another pair of runs in the second, but most of the damage against him came during a nightmare fourth inning. After getting a leadoff out, Skaggs allowed seven straight men to reach base and watched as each of them eventually came around to score. This disastrous outing ends a sublime stretch for Skaggs in which he allowed just 11 earned runs over his previous eight outings combined. His ERA climbed to 3.34 in this one and he'll look to get back on track Sunday against the Indians.

Skaggs (8-6) picked up the win Wednesday, allowing two runs (one earned) on four hits while striking out nine over six innings against the White Sox.
EDGE Analysis
Skaggs attacked hitters from the start, throwing first-pitch strikes to 19 of 23 batters while inducing 15 swinging strikes en route to whiffing a season-high nine batters. The lefty has allowed one or fewer earned runs in seven of his last eight starts (with 51:12 K:BB over 50 innings in that span), lowering his already impressive ratios to a 2.62 ERA and 1.19 WHIP. He'll looking to keep rolling Tuesday against the Rays.
