Skaggs, 27, died unexpectedly in a Texas hotel room Monday. The cause of death has yet to be determined. According to TMZ Sports, authorities said "no foul play is suspected" and there are no signs of suicide.
Monday night's game between the Angels and Texas Rangers was postponed in the wake of the death. The two teams were back in action Tuesday, and a moment of silence was held in Skaggs' honor. His number was also painted on the mound at Globe Life Park in Arlington.
