Tyler Skaggs - S - Diamondbacks

Tyler Skaggs came on in relief of starter Ian Kennedy and allowed five runs -- two earned -- in 2 2/3 innings in Saturday's loss to the Padres.

It's been a disastrous spring for the 21-year-old, who now has an 11.00 ERA in Cactus League play. Control was an issue for Skaggs Saturday, as he walked four batters in his 2 2/3 innings. The fact that he's now coming out of the bullpen doesn't bode well for his chances of securing the fifth spot in the Diamondbacks rotation. It's looking more and more like Skaggs will be on the outside looking in when the season starts.

Mar 16 - 7:18 PM

Tyler Skaggs - S - Diamondbacks

Tyler Skaggs allowed four runs and was charged with his second loss in Sunday's game against the Athletics.

Skaggs has really struggled this spring and has a 12.79 ERA in his first four appearances. He gave up four hits and two walks over four innings of work, including a two-run homer to Jed Lowrie. The Diamondbacks are giving Skaggs every opportunity to win a rotation spot this spring, but he'll need to get things turned around quickly to avoid being sent back down to the minors.

Mar 10 - 9:33 PM

Tyler Skaggs - S - Diamondbacks

Tyler Skaggs held Mexico scoreless over three innings in Tuesday's exhibition game.

Skaggs allowed three hits and a walk while striking out three. The left-hander really struggled in his first two spring outings, so it's good to see him taking a step in the right direction. He's competing for the No. 5 spot in the D'Backs rotation.

Mar 5 - 11:58 PM

Tyler Skaggs - S - Diamondbacks

Tyler Skaggs was rocked for the second straight Cactus League outing Thursday against the Reds, allowing three runs on three hits and two walks over just 2/3 of an inning.

He also threw a wild pitch. Skaggs has now allowed seven runs -- five earned -- and nine baserunners over his first 2 1/3 spring innings. He has time to right the ship, but it's not an ideal start as he tries to win a spot in the Diamondbacks' rotation.

Feb 28 - 7:04 PM

Tyler Skaggs - S - Diamondbacks

Tyler Skaggs got hit around Saturday in the Diamondbacks' Cactus League loss to the Rockies.

Skaggs allowed four runs -- two earned -- on four hits over 1 2/3 innings. But this is little cause for concern for the 21-year-old lefty, who figures to be part of the Diamondbacks' Opening Day starting rotation. Skaggs made six starts with the club in 2012 and is one of the team's top prospects. Saturday was nothing more than a typical first-start-of-spring stat line.

Feb 23 - 6:41 PM

Tyler Skaggs - S - Diamondbacks

Jeff Passan of Yahoo! Sports hears that the Indians are pushing for Diamondbacks prospect left-hander Tyler Skaggs in a possible Asdrubal Cabrera deal.

Meanwhile, the Diamondbacks would prefer to include Trevor Bauer, which potentially speaks to the way he has fallen out of favor with the organization. Skaggs posted a 5.83 ERA over his first six major league starts this year, but has plenty of upside.

Tyler Skaggs - S - Diamondbacks

The Diamondbacks have shut Tyler Skaggs down for the rest of the season.

Josh Collmenter will take his place in the rotation. Skaggs feels fine physically, but has shown diminished velocity of late, so the organization has decided to play things safe. The 21-year-old southpaw logged 151 2/3 innings this season between the minors and the majors and should compete for a rotation spot with the big club next year.

Tyler Skaggs - S - Diamondbacks

Tyler Skaggs has been scratched from Tuesday's start against the Giants.

Josh Collmenter will start in his place. No word yet on the reason for the change, but Skaggs has allowed four runs or more in three straight starts while showing decreased velocity. Diamondbacks manager Kirk Gibson will provide more information on his status on Tuesday.

Tyler Skaggs - S - Diamondbacks

Tyler Skaggs surrendered four runs in five innings Thursday in a loss to the Padres.

Skaggs impressed in his first three starts for Arizona, but he's given up 14 runs in 12 innings since, nine of which have come against the mediocre San Diego offense. The Diamondbacks might want to shut him down rather than have him make his last two starts.

Tyler Skaggs - S - Diamondbacks

Tyler Skaggs had the worst start of his young major-league career in Friday's loss to the Padres, allowing five runs on five hits in just three innings of work.

Skaggs fanned five and walked one in a no-decision. His biggest mistake came in the third, where he served up a three-run homer to Chase Headley. Skaggs had previously gone at least five innings and allowed no more than three runs in each of his first three major-league starts. He'll look to get back on track against the Giants next weekend, where he'll be sporting a 4.43 ERA at first pitch.

Tyler Skaggs - S - Diamondbacks

Tyler Skaggs yielded one run in five innings Saturday in a no-decision versus the Dodgers.

A Hanley Ramirez homer was the only damage. Skaggs has been strong through three starts, but he has just one win to show for it. The Diamondbacks have scored a total of six runs in his outings.

Sun, Sep 2, 2012 02:01:00 AM

Tyler Skaggs - S - Diamondbacks

Tyler Skaggs pitched 5 2/3 innings and allowed three runs -- two earned -- in a loss to the Reds on Monday.

Skaggs was again a bit wild -- he had two HBPs to go along with his two walks -- but he held down a pretty good lineup tonight. He's poised to be an asset in NL-only leagues the rest of the way.

Tue, Aug 28, 2012 12:52:00 AM

Tyler Skaggs - S - Diamondbacks

Diamondbacks manager Kirk Gibson said Friday that Tyler Skaggs will remain in the rotation, and that they'll go with a six-man rotation this time through.

Skaggs pitched very well in a victory over the Marlins in his MLB debut on Wednesday and is worth adding in all deeper mixed leagues at this point. No word yet on who may be bumped from the rotation in the long run, but the D'Backs are still listening to offers on Joe Saunders.

Tyler Skaggs - S - Diamondbacks

According to Nick Piecoro of the Arizona Republic, the D'Backs will keep Tyler Skaggs in the major leagues.

It's not clear whether Skaggs will serve as a starter or a reliever going forward. He earned a victory in his major league debut on Wednesday after holding the Marlins to three hits and two runs over 6 2/3 innings. The 21-year-old left-hander has a very bright future and will be worth grabbing in deeper mixed fantasy leagues if he's given a spot in the rotation for the Diamondbacks' stretch run.

That will be two weeks after Hill was hoping to get the go-ahead to resume baseball activities, as his fractured hand is healing much slower than expected. The original timetable had him possibly returning by late May, but he probably won't be activated until well into June now. May 21
	2	Willie Bloomquist D.L. Willie Bloomquist (oblique) could begin a rehab assignment midway through the week. Bloomquist has been playing games at extended spring training and hasn't had any recent setbacks. He should be ready for activation before the end of the month. May 19

It's the first time he's played the field during his rehab assignment, as he had been limited to DH duty. Eaton was scheduled to play the field again on Saturday before being re-evaluated by the Diamondbacks. He should be activated before the end of the month. Manager Kirk Gibson said he's "not really worried about" finding enough playing time for all the members of a deep group of outfielders. "If we have guys, we’ll find places for them to play," the manager added. May 19

It's the first time since last year's Tommy John surgery that Hudson has faced hitters wearing a different uniform. The D'Backs says the righty's fastball sat in the 91-93 mph range, which is obviously a good sign. "The light at the end of the tunnel is getting a little bit brighter now," Hudson said. Hudson will appear in another extended spring game next week and doesn't appear far off from a rehab assignment. He could be back as soon as late June if all goes well, though the big club doesn't currently have room for him in the rotation. May 19

Putz has been diagnosed with a sprained ligament, a strained flexor pronator and nerve irritation in his right elbow -- all of which can be addressed through rehab. He will try to return before the end of the 2013 season. Heath Bell has taken over Arizona's ninth-inning gig. May 9
