Troy

Scribner

Scribner struck out six and walked two on the evening. Two of the three hits he surrendered in the contest left the yard, with Drew Robinson burning him for a two-run home run in the third inning and Mike Napoli smashing a solo home run off him one inning later. In five appearances (three starts) with the Angels this season, the 26-year-old right-hander has pitched to a 4.00 ERA and 0.94 WHIP. Scribner will continue to draw starts moving forward with J.C. Ramirez (elbow) currently on the disabled list and is scheduled to toe the rubber in a home start against the A’s next time out.

He’ll draw the start Thursday against Texas. Scribner is filling the rotation spot left by J.C. Ramirez, who was placed on the DL with an elbow strain earlier this week. The 26-year-old sports a 3.46 ERA over four outings including two starts for the Halos this year.

The Angels had to make room for Thursday’s starting pitcher, Troy Scribner. Paredes has posted a respectable 3.00 ERA over 15 innings of work in the majors this year.

Scribner walked one and struck out two in the abbreviated outing. He allowed a pair of solo home runs to Matt Joyce and Matt Olson in the second inning then was lifted with the bases loaded and Joyce strolling to the dish with two outs in the third. He’ll try to get back on track in a rematch against the Athletics in Oakland on Monday.

The 26-year-old hurler owned a 10-3 record, 4.16 ERA, 1.27 WHIP and 98/36 K/BB ratio across 97 1/3 innings at Triple-A this season. The Angels are going with a bullpen day against the Blue Jays on Saturday, so it’s likely that Scribner sees at least a few innings of work.

Chavez has had a tough season to date, as he has pitched to a 5.43 ERA and 1.43 WHIP in 22 appearances (21 starts). Troy Scribner will start in his place against the A’s on Friday.

Chavez has been a disaster in the rotation and the Angels are moving him to the bullpen. In his place (at least for the time being) steps Scribner. The 26-year-old right-hander had been pitching to a 4.16 ERA, 1.27 WHIP and 98/36 K/BB ratio in 97 1/3 innings at Triple-A prior to having his contract purchased at the end of July. He does not hold much in the way of fantasy intrigue.

Scribner was tagged for five runs - two earned - over four innings in his first major league start on Friday against the Athletics. It’s a tough assignment against a Baltimore offense averaging 5.7 runs per game over the past 10 outings.

Scribner walked four and gave up a three-run homer to Matt Chapman. He could head back to Triple-A now, as the Angels are hoping to add Andrew Heaney and Tyler Skaggs to their rotation.

Scribner struck out four without walking a batter in the contest. Welington Castillo mashed a solo home run off him in the third inning for the only run-scoring blemish on his line. With this one in the books, Scribner will next do battle in a road start against the Nationals. He has allowed six runs (three earned) over nine-plus innings in his first two major league starts.
