Teheran (illness) completed a bullpen session Wednesday, Fabian Ardaya of The Athletic reports.
EDGE Analysis
The 29-year-old was cleared to join team workouts over the weekend after previously missing game due to COVID-19, so he still has some work to do before reaching game readiness. Teheran figures to remain on the COVID-19 injured list to start the seaons, and he is scheduled to throw two innings during his next bullpen session. Given the lack of buildup, he'll likely won't enter the rotation before the first week of August.

Teheran confirmed Sunday that his late arrival at Angels camp was the result of a positive COVID-19 test, Mike DiGiovanna of the Los Angeles Times reports.
EDGE Analysis
Teheran, who wasn't cleared to work out with the Angels until Saturday, revealed that he first experienced symptoms of the coronavirus in late June, with those complications including fever, chills, body aches, headaches and a loss of taste. Nearly a month later, Teheran has apparently passed all COVID-19-related protocols, but he estimated that he's still about "a week behind" schedule in his normal throwing program. Though the Angels were satisfied with Teheran's bullpen session Saturday, he'll likely require some additional time to ramp up to a starter's workload, so expect him to remain on the COVID-19 injured list when the Angels begin their season this weekend. Teheran could be ready to make his first start of 2020 in the final week of July or the first week of August.

Teheran (undisclosed) was cleared to work out Saturday, Rhett Bollinger of MLB.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
Teheran was placed on the injured list for undisclosed reasons in early July. While it's undoubtedly a positive that he's now able to join his teammates, his late arrival to camp could impact his ability to handle a starter's workload early in the season.

Teheran (undisclosed) arrived in Anaheim on Friday, but it's unclear whether he joined the team's camp, Fabian Ardaya of The Athletic reports.
EDGE Analysis
Manager Joe Maddon said Friday that he saw Teheran, but he wasn't sure whether he was cleared to join the team for workouts. Given the uncertainty surrounding the right-hander's status, he may not be ready to go by the start of the regular season. However, it's encouraging that Teheran's return to on-field work appears to be imminent.

Teheran (undisclosed) still doesn't have a timetable to return to the team, Fabian Ardaya of The Athletic reports.
EDGE Analysis
Manager Joe Maddon said Thursday that he was unable to provide an update for when Teheran will arrive in camp, but he said that things are "trending in the right direction." At this point, it's likely that the right-hander will miss at least one turn through the rotation to begin the regular season. Matt Andriese, Felix Pena (knee) and Jaime Barria could step in as starters if Teheran isn't ready for the start of the season.

Teheran (undisclosed) has not yet reported to camp, Fabian Ardaya of The Athletic reports.
EDGE Analysis
Teheran said Wednesday that he was hoping to get to Anaheim this weekend, pending the results of a COVID-19 test, but it is unclear when that will actually happen at this point. If he is not ready for the start of the season, Matt Andriese, Felix Pena (knee) and Jaime Barria would be candidates to step into the Angels' six-man rotation.

Manager Joe Maddon said Wednesday that Teheran (undisclosed) may not be ready for the start of the season, even if he reports to camp by this weekend, Rhett Bollinger of MLB.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
The 29-year-old was placed on the injured list this week and said earlier Wednesday he's awaiting his COVID-19 test results, though he hopes to join his teammates over the weekend. It remains unclear if Teheran contracted the virus, but he's stayed away from the team since family members had shown symptoms. If he is cleared and reports this weekend, the right-hander would have less than two weeks to ramp up for Opening Day, so it's not a major surprise Maddon isn't confident in his availability.

Teheran is still waiting on the results of a coronavirus test but hopes to join his teammates over the weekend if the results are negative, Jeff Fletcher of The Orange County Register reports.
EDGE Analysis
Teheran was placed on the injured list for undisclosed reasons Tuesday, but it's now evident that the transaction was coronavirus-related. Teheran doesn't yet know if he has the virus himself, but his family members had shown symptoms, so he remains away from the team for now. If he winds up being able to join camp over the weekend, he'll have less than two weeks to get into game shape before Opening Day.

Teheran landed on the 10-day injured list for undisclosed reasons Tuesday, Andersen Pickard of MLBDailyDish.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
Due to privacy concerns, the Angels can't legally confirm whether or not Teheran's absence is due to COVID-19. Teheran is expected to start for the Angels this season, but an extended absence this month would likely mean that he's not in shape to pitch very deep into games early in the year.

Manager Joe Maddon said Saturday that Teheran is not yet at camp for an undisclosed reason, Fabian Ardaya of The Athletic reports.
EDGE Analysis
Teheran signed a one-year contract with the Angels during the offseason, but he hasn't reported to camp yet as baseball activities resume. Maddon didn't disclose why the 29-year-old wasn't yet at camp, and it's unclear when he could report.
