The Matt Harvey situation has provided something of a road map for Tyler Skaggs as the Angels left-hander works his way back from elbow ligament-replacement surgery.

Harvey, the New York Mets right-hander, sparked a controversy Saturday when he said he is reluctant to surpass a 180-inning limit in his return from the same surgery, a potentially huge blow to the team's World Series hopes.
Harvey has thrown 166 1/3 innings and is 12-7 with a 2.60 earned-run average to help the Mets take a five-game lead over Washington in the National League East.
