Angels' Tyler Skaggs: Hopes to return this weekend

Skaggs (forearm) threw a bullpen session Tuesday, Pedro Moura of the Los Angeles Times reports.

Analysis:

There had been doubt that Skaggs would return during the 2016 campaign. However, he's aiming to take the mound this weekend and pitch about five innings during the Angels' series against the Astros. Skaggs has pitched just nine games for Los Angeles this season, over which he's built a subpar 4.13 ERA and 1.44 WHIP.
