"We're currently working with the MLB and MLBPA on making items available honoring Tyler in the Angel Stadium Team Store," the team also announced, adding that fans can donate to the Tyler Skaggs Baseball Foundation in the meantime. 

The organization unveiled a mural of Skaggs in the outfield prior to the game, and his mother, Debbie, threw out the first pitch while wearing her son's No. 45: 

Skaggs was found dead July 1 in his Southlake, Texas, hotel room ahead of the Angels' game against the Texas Rangers.

The official cause for his death has not been released. 

A moment of silence was held for Skaggs before Tuesday night's All-Star Game, in which Mike Trout and Tommy La Stella wore No. 45, and Trout told reporters after the contest that he "felt him out there with me":

For the remainder of the reason, L.A. will sport "45" patches on its uniforms to honor Skaggs.
