MILWAUKEE — The Angels finally got some good news, relatively speaking, on their starting rotation candidates.

Tyler Skaggs was diagnosed Monday with biceps tendinitis and will rest for another week before being re-evaluated, the Angels announced.

Skaggs, who is rehabbing from Tommy John surgery, felt some discomfort in his shoulder while throwing last week at Triple-A Salt Lake City, so the Angels shut him down and brought him to Southern California for an MRI and evaluation.

The news could have been worse. Shoulder problems are typically more serious than elbow issues.

The Angels have only four healthy starters in the majors of the eight they had at the start of spring training.

Andrew Heaney and C.J. Wilson are on the disabled list, and Heaney will not even throw for at least four weeks after receiving a platelet-rich plasma injection. His earliest possible return is July. Wilson is throwing but about a week away from throwing off a mound, so he won’t be ready until mid June.

Skaggs was optioned to the minors to continue building his endurance after missing last season. Once he returns to the mound, he is probably three to five starts from being a candidate for the rotation.

Matt Shoemaker was optioned to Triple-A because he had a 9.15 ERA in the majors.
