Tyler Skaggs’s Family Sues Angels, Former Employees Over Pitcher’s Death

The family of late Angels pitcher Tyler Skaggs is suing the team and two former team employees almost two years after the pitcher died of an overdose in his hotel room while on a road trip, alleging an Angels executive was supplying drugs to multiple players.

The lawsuits were filed Tuesday in Los Angeles County Superior Court, according to multiple reports. The lawsuits do not specify how much money the family is seeking.

“The Angels owed Tyler Skaggs a duty to provide a safe place to work and play baseball,” the lawsuit said, per the Los Angeles Times' Nathan Fenno.
