This is just so unbelieveable.

On Monday, the Los Angeles Angels announced that pitcher Tyler Skaggs passed away Monday morning at age 27. The game against the Texas Rangers has been cancelled.

The Angels left-hander had just pitched on Saturday night against the Oakland Athletics at Angel Stadium.

Skaggs was originally drafted by the Angels in first round of the 2009 MLB Draft. He would be traded to the Arizona Diamondbacks in 2010, but would eventually return to the Angels in 2014.
