ANAHEIM — Tyler Skaggs underwent succesful Tommy John surgery today, Manager Mike Scioscia, the first step in a process that will likely keep Skaggs from pitching in the majors until 2016.

In the meantime, the Angels will try to get through the final six weeks of the 2014 season with a rotation that lacking much in the way of depth beyond the five current members.

The Angels’ best hope for getting through is to have the bullpen continue to pitch as well as it has over the last month and have the offense get back its first-half level.

Their seven-run outburst — all in one inning — was a good sign, the Angels hope. Tonight they go for the sweep of the two-game series against the Philadelphia Phillies with almost the same lineup.

Jered Weaver starts for the Angels against the Phillies A.J. Burnett in the 7 p.m. game.
