| May 5, 2006 John Lackey has been fined an undisclosed amount but not suspended for his actions in Tuesday's brawl with the A's, according to the AP. Lackey will make his next scheduled start, which is slated for Sunday. |
| May 2, 2006 John Lackey was ejected from Tuesday's game after getting into a scuffle with A's catcher Jason Kendall, according to the AP. A bench-clearing brawl ensued when Kendall charged the mound after Lackey threw a high-and-tight pitch. A suspension for Lackey may be in the offing. |
| April 3, 2006 The Angels agreed to a two-year contract extension on Monday with John Lackey that guarantees him an additional $13.25 million, according to the AP. Lackey agreed in January to a $3.76 million, one-year contract that avoided salary arbitration. His new deal guarantees him $17.01 million over three seasons, including a $500,000 buyout of a 2009 club option. |
| March 15, 2006 John Lackey, who has been hampered by a sore shoulder, threw three scoreless innings against Texas on Wednesday, according to the AP. He allowed one hit while walking none and striking out one. "I was real encouraged," said Lackey. "The ball felt like it was coming out good. It's a good one to build on. By far this is the best I've felt since I've been here. It's pretty much going to be straight ahead from here, hopefully." |
| March 12, 2006 John Lackey made his first exhibition start Friday and reported soreness in his stiff shoulder but "nothing out of the ordinary," according to the LA Times. |
| March 9, 2006 John Lackey, who has been slowed by shoulder stiffness, threw a 40-pitch bullpen session on Wednesday, according to the LA Times. It was the first time he had thrown off a mound in nine days. He is slated to make his first exhibition start on Friday against the Cubs. |

| March 4, 2006 John Lackey, scratched from Tuesday's intrasquad game because of shoulder stiffness, played catch again and will extend to long toss today, according to the LA Times. Lackey will probably need at least two bullpen sessions before pitching in an exhibition game. |
