His ERA sits at an AL-leading 2.23 with a 0.88 WHIP and 233:30 K:BB through 30 starts (189.1 innings). Skubal's tentatively scheduled for a rematch with Cleveland on the road his next time out.

The Angels recalled Aldegheri from Triple-A Salt Lake on Thursday.
Aldegheri will come up from the minors to presumably fill the absence in Los Angeles' rotation left by Jose Soriano (forearm), who was placed on the injured list Thursday.

Angels' Jose Soriano: Lands on IL
The Angels placed Soriano on the 15-day injured list Thursday with a right forearm contusion.
Soriano was taken out of his most recent start Wednesday after getting hit on the forearm by a comebacker. X-rays on his forearm came back negative, but the Angels will place him on the injured list anyway, putting an early end to his season. The 26-year-old will finish 2025 with a 4.26 ERA and 1.40 WHIP alongside a 152:78 K:BB across 169 innings. Sam Aldegheri was recalled from Triple-A Salt Lake in a corresponding move.
