What It Means:

Skaggs was given a 10-12 week timetable to return from a Grade 2 right oblique strain, which would put his return around the All-Star break. He thinks he can beat that projection, though, and it seems like he might be ready since he's going to resume throwing in a few days.

Our algorithms project Skaggs for a 4.82 ERA, 19.7 percent strikeout rate, and 9.8 percent walk rate over 30 more innings pitched this season.
