Tyler Skaggs (oblique) hopes to come off Angels' DL when first eligible

Los Angeles Angels starting pitcher Tyler Skaggs (oblique) expects to return when he is first eligible to come off the 60-day disabled list.

What It Means:

If Skaggs is able to stick to his hoped-for timetable, he would be ready to rejoin the team some time near the end of June. He has been on the disabled list with a Grade 2 right oblique strain since late April. In terms of his progress in rehab, Skaggs started up a throwing program in mid-May.

Before his injury, Skaggs had totaled 29 strikeouts and a 3.76 xFIP in 29 1/3 innings pitched in the 2017 season.
