Tyler Skaggs returned to the Angels last season after undergoing Tommy John surgery in 2014. Skaggs ended up only pitching 49.2 innings in 2016. His starts last season were more to get him back into a groove of pitching in the league though. They were almost a set up to a full comeback in 2017.

Skaggs started the finale in Oakland last thursday. He did have some solid movement on his pitches, and ended up striking five. Skaggs ended up taking a loss though. He pitched 5.1 innings, giving up 5 hits, 3 bases on balls, and 5 earned runs.

Like many of the other starters, Skaggs just needs to find some sort of consistency early on. If he can keep his strike outs up, and get ahead of the count early on then Skaggs will have a solid season ahead of him.
