Tyler Skaggs News
Los Angeles Angels outfielder Kole Calhoun went 2-for-4 with a two-run home run in the Angels emotional 9-4 win over the Rangers. Calhoun hit his 18th home run of the season and pointed to the sky at home plate in honor of the tragic passing of teammate Tyler Skaggs. It has been a tough few days for the team but found a way to secure a win. Calhoun is hitting only .229 this season after posting a .191 mark in June but is slashing .295/.408/.590 with runners in scoring position. The slugger is currently on pace to hit a new career mark in home runs, the only dimension of Calhoun's game worth considering in fantasy right now.
The Los Angeles Angels confirmed left-handed starting pitcher Tyler Skaggs passed away in Texas at the age of 27. "It is with great sorrow that we report Tyler Skaggs passed away earlier today in Texas," the club released in a statement. "Tyler has, and always will be, an important part of the Angels Family. Our thoughts and prayers are with his wife Carli and his entire family during this devastating time." There was no immediate word on the cause of death, only that he was found dead on Monday. That game between the Angels and Rangers was canceled on Monday night. RIP to Skaggs, as it is a shame to see a promising young man cut down in the prime of his life.
Los Angeles Angels starter Tyler Skaggs will take the mound Thursday night against the Rays in Tampa Bay. It has been a bumpy road recently for the left-handed pitcher, posting a 5.92 ERA over his last seven starts. He has pitched six or more innings in only two of his last nine starts as he continues to struggle with consistency. Skaggs has decent strikeout totals (59 K's in 58 innings) but has allowed four or more runs in four of his last six starts. Skaggs has the talent but lacks fantasy appeal until he can string several quality starts together.
