Hawks Get All-Star Pitcher

The Silver Hawks today added LHP Tyler Skaggs to their active roster. He was the player to be named later in the Dan Haren trade with the Los Angeles Angels of Anaheim. Skaggs was an all-star with the Cedar Rapids Kernels, going 8-4 thus far this season.

However, the trade happened two weeks ago, and Skaggs had to wait to officially be traded because you can't trade a player within a year of him first signing after the draft. Therefore, he hasn't appeared in a game for over two weeks, and has just been running and doing long toss to stay active. He's probably quite a few days, if not a week or two, away from actually appearing in a game with the Silver Hawks.
