Having a Darryl Kile flashback here.
Los Angeles Angels pitcher Tyler Skaggs died Monday at the age of 27, stunning Major League Baseball and leading to the postponement of the team's game against the Texas Rangers. Skaggs was with the team in Texas when he was found unresponsive in his hotel room, police said. He was pronounced dead at the scene, the AP reports. Police said they were investigating, but no foul play was suspected. Skaggs, who would have turned 28 on July 13, started the Angels' game Saturday night against the Athletics. He had been a regular in the Angels' starting rotation since late 2016, when he returned from Tommy John surgery. He struggled with injuries repeatedly over the past three seasons but persevered to become a valuable starter in Los Angeles' injury-plagued rotation. He started 15 games, going 7-7.
If past performance is indicative of future results, the Angels season is basically over.

I'll be watching reports to see what the cause of death was. Very sad, indeed.
