Worth noting

• Angels starter Tyler Skaggs got his second MRI exam in Los Angeles on Monday, this one with a contrasting agent, and it confirmed nothing more serious than a flexor strain in his left forearm.

"Very happy," Skaggs said.

The 23-year-old left-hander is confident that he'll be back before the end of the season, but doesn't know when.

• Lefty reliever Joe Thatcher got an MRI exam on Monday that confirmed a ligament sprain in his left ankle. Thatcher, wearing a walking boot, is hoping to make it back in three to four weeks, calling it "a pretty straightforward rehab."
