Reid Detmers Injury News & Updates

Detmers is not listed as Sunday's starter against the Athletics.

The Angels will give Carson Fulmer the ball Sunday, and given that Detmers hasn't followed an opener all season, it would seem that he is done for the year. The 24-year-old southpaw logged a 4.48 ERA, 1.35 WHIP, 168 strikeouts and four wins over 148.2 innings.

Detmers (4-10) allowed a run on four hits and four walks while striking out seven over seven innings to earn the win over the Rangers on Tuesday.

Detmers ended a five-start winless skid with a solid outing, though the four walks matched his season high. This was the fifth time he'd gone seven frames in an appearance this season, and it was only the second time he's won such a start. For the year, the southpaw is at a 4.48 ERA, 1.35 WHIP and 168:60 K:BB through 148.2 innings over 28 starts. Detmers could get one more start at home versus the Athletics on normal rest, but it's unclear if the Angels will want to roll him out there when they have nothing to play for.

Detmers allowed an unearned run on three hits and two walks while striking out seven batters over four innings in a no-decision against Tampa Bay on Wednesday.

Detmers was scratched from his previous projected start Sunday due to an illness, but he recovered enough to take the mound Wednesday. The southpaw's short outing didn't appear to be due to any lingering effects, nor did he pitch poorly -- the only run Detmers allowed was largely due to an error behind him in the third frame. However, the hurler needed 96 pitches to complete his four innings, as the Rays fouled off a hefty 27 balls against him. That prevented Detmers from qualifying for the win, though he still made a strong impact in fantasy with his second straight seven-strikeout performance.

Detmers (illness) is listed as the Angels' probable starting pitcher for Wednesday's game against the Rays.

Detmers was scratched ahead of his last scheduled start this past Sunday against the Tigers after coming down with an illness, but he needed only a few extra days of rest and recovery to move past the ailment. After giving up seven earned runs in both of his first two outings of August, Detmers has looked sharp over his last five starts, pitching to a 3.00 ERA, 1.20 WHIP and 23:10 K:BB over 30 innings.

Detmers was scratched from Sunday's start against the Tigers due to an illness, Sam Blum of The Athleticreports.

Detmers has a 3.00 ERA across his past five starts but won't pitch as scheduled Sunday due to the ailment. Depending on the severity of the illness, the left-hander could be available to pitch during the upcoming three-game series in Tampa Bay, which begins Tuesday. Jimmy Herget will now open Sunday's contest with Kenny Rosenberg following as the primary pitcher.

Detmers allowed three runs on five hits and struck out seven without walking a batter over seven innings in a no-decision versus the Mariners on Monday.

Detmers picked up his second quality start in a row, though he's gone four starts without a win. This was the first time he's issued no walks this season. The southpaw gave up all three runs in the first inning. He's now at a 4.77 ERA, 1.37 WHIP and 154:54 K:BB through 137.2 innings over a career-high 26 starts. Detmers is projected for a road start at Tampa Bay next week.

Detmers did not factor into the decision Tuesday, allowing two runs on nine hits and one walk over 6.2 innings against the Orioles. He struck out five.

All of the damage against Detmers came in the third, where he gave up back-to-back-to-back singles to Jorge Mateo, Adley Rutschman and Ryan Mountcastle as part of a two-run inning. However, he was able to pick up a quality start -- the second of his last 10 appearances -- and walked one batter for the first time since mid-July. The southpaw has quietly strung together a handful of impressive starts, owning a 3.13 ERA across his last 23 innings (four starts). He's slated for a trip to Seattle to take on the Mariners for his next appearance.

Detmers did not factor into the decision Wednesday, allowing two runs on four hits and three walks over four innings against the Phillies. He struck out three.

Detmers struggled with his command from the start, beaning a batter in each of the first two innings before allowing two runs to come across for Philadelphia. The lefty needed 33 pitches to get through the second frame and failed to make it through five innings for the third time in his last six starts. He's also issued three or more walks in three of his last four outings and has given up at least two free passes in eight straight, going 1-4 over that stretch.

Detmers (3-10) allowed four runs on seven hits and two walks while striking out three over five innings, taking the loss in the second game of Wednesday's doubleheader versus the Reds.

Detmers couldn't carry over any momentum from his dominant outing versus the Rangers last week. He instead gave up four runs -- he's allowed at least that many in five of his last eight starts. The southpaw now has a 5.03 ERA, 1.38 WHIP and 139:50 K:BB through 120 innings across 23 starts this season. Detmers is projected for a road start in Philadelphia next week.

Detmers (3-9) earned the win over Texas on Wednesday, allowing one hit and four walks while striking out five batters over 7.1 scoreless innings.

Detmers came into the contest having allowed 14 earned runs over his previous two outings covering just 6.1 frames, so it made perfect sense that he shut down one of the league's top-scoring offenses in a dominant effort Wednesday. The left-handed hurler made a push for his second career no-hitter, holding the Rangers without a base knock until Marcus Semien got to him for a one-out double in the eighth inning. That was the last batter Detmers faced, and the Angels' bullpen completed the shutout to give the 24-year-old his first win since July 2. This type of outing is a good reminder of Detmers' potential, though he's been frustratingly up-and-down this season and has pitched to a mediocre 4.93 ERA and 1.37 WHIP despite a career-best 10.6 K/9.

Detmers (2-9) took the loss Friday, allowing seven runs on seven hits and three walks over 2.1 innings against Houston. He struck out zero.

The Astros' Jon Singleton had not hit a big-league home run since 2015 but knocked out two against Detmers, who was pulled following Singleton's third-inning blast. A rough July has turned into a full-on disastrous August for Detmers who has now allowed 14 earned runs in 6.1 August innings. This also marks the first career appearance in which he failed to record a strikeout. Unless the Angels decide to go in a different direction, Detmers will next attempt to right the ship in a mid-week matchup against Texas in Arlington.

Detmers allowed seven runs on nine hits and two walks while striking out four over four innings in a no-decision versus the Mariners on Friday.

Detmers has gone five straight outings without a win, and he's failed to complete five innings in three of those appearances. The southpaw was tagged for a trio of home runs Friday, which accounted for six of the seven runs against him. Detmers is at a 4.78 ERA, 1.35 WHIP and 131:41 K:BB through 105.1 innings over 20 starts this season. He's projected for a tough road start in Houston next week.

Detmers (2-8) took the loss Saturday, allowing two runs on three hits and two walks over 4.2 innings in a 6-1 loss to the Blue Jays. He struck out five.

Detmers was able to pitch his way out of a few jams up until the bottom of the fifth when he walked Alejandro Kirk to open the inning before surrendering a two-run blast to Santiago Espinal. The lefty would retire the next two batters before being relieved by Reynaldo Lopez but still went on to suffer his third straight loss (spanning four starts). Detmers has allowed at least two runs in all five of his starts this month while failing to make it through five innings in two of those outings.

Detmers (2-7) allowed two runs on six hits and two walks while striking out nine over five innings, taking the loss Saturday versus the Pirates.

Detmers turned in a fine performance, but the Angels couldn't generate any runs. The southpaw has allowed 15 runs over 20.1 innings in July, but he's now gone two straight starts without allowing a home run. The 24-year-old has a 4.38 ERA, 1.30 WHIP and 122:37 K:BB through 96.2 innings over 18 starts. Detmers is tentatively projected for a road start in Toronto next weekend.

Detmers allowed four runs on five hits and three walks while striking out six over six innings in a no-decision versus the Astros on Saturday.

Detmers was better than in his last start before the All-Star break, but it was still a bit of a shaky outing. He was tagged for multiple runs in the third and fourth innings. The southpaw now has a 4.42 ERA, 1.29 WHIP and 113:35 K:BB through 91.2 innings across 17 starts overall. He's projected for a home start versus the Pirates next weekend.

Detmers (2-6) allowed seven runs on six hits and a walk while striking out four over 3.1 innings to take the loss Saturday versus the Dodgers.

Detmers had allowed just five runs over his previous 31.2 innings, but the Dodgers' lineup tagged him for three solo home runs and made the most with the rest of their baserunners to end the southpaw's hot stretch. It was a sour ending to the first half for Detmers, who has a 4.31 ERA, 1.28 WHIP and 107:32 K:BB through 85.2 innings across 16 starts. He's projected for a challenging first matchup out of the All-Star break -- he'll either take the mound versus the Astros or the Yankees, though either potential outcome would be at home in Anaheim.

Detmers will start the Angels' final game of the first half on Saturday against the Dodgers, Jeff Fletcher of The Orange County Register reports.

It's Tyler Anderson's turn, but the Angels are off Sunday and would rather have Anderson available in relief, if needed. The matchup for Detmers is a difficult one, but he's been on a roll over his last five starts with a 1.42 ERA and 43:10 K:BB in 31.2 innings. One of his outings during that stretch came against the Dodgers, as he blanked them for seven frames back on June 20.

Detmers (2-5) allowed two runs on three hits and two walks while striking out nine over six innings to earn the win Sunday over the Diamondbacks.

Detmers allowed multiple runs for the first time since June 1, but he still emerged with his fourth straight quality start. He's also racked up at least eight strikeouts in each of his last five starts. The southpaw's strong pitching has helped to get his season numbers back on track -- he's at a 3.72 ERA, 1.25 WHIP and 103:31 K:BB across 82.1 innings through 15 outings. He's had some bad luck with getting wins, but he's putting himself in position for more if he can keep up the good work. With the Angels having just five games left before the All-Star break, Detmers may not start again until after the Midsummer Classic.

Detmers allowed one run on two hits and two walks while striking out 10 batters over seven innings in a no-decision against the White Sox on Monday.

Detmers didn't get the necessary run support to emerge with a win Monday, but he still put forth one of the best efforts of his career. The southpaw finished with his second double-digit strikeout performance of the campaign and notched his third straight quality start after recording just one such effort over his first 11 outings. Detmers has been very impressive over his past four starts, registering a 1.05 ERA and 34:8 K:BB over 25.2 frames. The 2020 first-round draft pick is posting a career-best 11.1 K/9 on the season along with an above-average 3.77 ERA, though he has just one win in 14 starts thus far.

Detmers struck out eight and didn't factor in the decision Tuesday against the Dodgers after he allowed two hits and one walk across seven scoreless innings.

The 23-year-old delivered his best start of the season as he went toe-to-toe with Clayton Kershaw for seven innings, but he had to settle for a no-decision since the Halos bullpen was unable to maintain the scoreless tie. Detmers has covered at least five frames in each of his last seven outings, and he has given up just two runs with a 24:6 K:BB in his last three starts. The left-hander has a 1-5 record but a solid 4.02 ERA through 69.1 innings this year.

Detmers did not factor into the decision Wednesday, allowing a run on three hits and three walks over six innings against Texas. He struck out eight.

A Leody Taveras homer in the third inning was the lone run Detmers allowed Wednesday. The 23-year-old left-hander has struck out eight in consecutive starts while allowing just one run in each outing. He's lowered his ERA from 5.15 to 4.48 with his last two performances while sporting a 1.46 WHIP and 76:26 K:BB over 62.1 innings. Detmers will look to keep rolling in his next start, currently scheduled for next week against the Dodgers.

Detmers (1-5) earned the win Thursday, allowing one run on five hits and two walks over 5.2 innings against the Cubs. He struck out eight.

Detmers finally earned his first win of the campaign after several mediocre outings. This was the southpaw's first time not allowing multiple runs in a start this season. The 23-year-old is tentatively slated to face the Rangers on the road in his next appearance.

Detmers (0-5) took the loss against Houston on Thursday, allowing four runs on six hits and two walks while striking out two batters over five innings.

Detmers allowed just one run through four frames before the Astros got to him for three runs on four hits and a walk in the fifth. It was a familiar pattern for the left-hander, as he's struggled mightily in his third time through the order so far this season. Detmers has failed to pick up a win across his first 10 starts on the campaign, and his 5.15 ERA and 1.54 WHIP over 50.2 frames are a big part of the problem. However, he's posted a more promising 3.62 FIP along with a career-best 10.7 K/9, so the potential for a turnaround is there if he can solve his issues in getting through the order a third time.

Detmers (0-4) took the loss Friday, allowing three runs on 10 hits and two walks over 5 innings against the Marlins. He struck out five.

While this wasn't a disastrous outing, Detmers has hardly had any standout starts this year, either. Outside of the southpaw's solid outing at Boston on April 16 (two runs over 6.1 innings), he hasn't been able to complete six innings in a game this year. With the 23-year-old posting a 4.93 ERA and 1.53 WHIP so far, he's not a trustworthy option at this point.

Detmers did not factor into the decision Friday, allowing three runs on two hits and three walks over 5.2 innings against the Twins. He struck out 12.

This was Detmers' first time reaching double-digit strikeouts in a start this year. The southpaw has now strung together two consecutive decent starts after lasting just four innings in the loss against Texas on 5/6. The 23-year-old is tentatively slated to face the Red Sox at home in his next appearance.

Detmers did not factor into the decision Saturday, allowing two runs on six hits and two walks over five innings against the Guardians. He struck out three.

Detmers seemed primed to pick up his first win of 2023, exiting the game with a 3-2 lead that reached 6-2 by the bottom of the eighth. However, a six-run offensive barrage by the Guardians quickly ruined any hopes of a Detmers win, as Cleveland took a two-run advantage and held the Angels off the board in the top of the ninth. Detmers fell victim to a Guardians team that strikes out the second-fewest times per game, fanning just three batters after recording at least six punchouts in five of his first six starts. Though the 23-year-old has found success in the strikeout column, he has yet to find ways to keep runners from scoring with a 4.89 ERA through 35.0 innings. Detmers is slated to toe the rubber again next Friday against the Twins, who strike out the third-most in MLB.

Detmers (0-3) allowed three runs on seven hits and two walks while striking out seven over four innings, taking the loss Saturday versus the Rangers.

Detmers threw 60 of 94 pitches for strikes, but Rangers batters were able to foul off 23 of those pitches. His two shortest outings of the season have been his last two, where he's allowed a combined 10 runs (seven earned) over 8.1 innings. The good news is that he hasn't allowed a home run in that span. Detmers now has a 5.10 ERA, 1.50 WHIP and 38:12 K:BB over 30 innings spanning six starts. He's projected for a road start in Cleveland next weekend.

Detmers (0-2) took the loss Saturday, allowing seven runs on four hits and three walks over 4.1 innings against the Brewers. He struck out six.

Detmers struggled against Milwaukee after allowing just four runs over his previous 12 innings. The southpaw has not been a reliable option as of yet this season, posting a 4.85 ERA and 1.38 WHIP through five starts. However, the former 10th overall pick in 2020 still has plenty of upside, as evidenced by his no-hitter against Tampa Bay on May 10th, 2022. Detmers is tentatively slated to face the Rangers at home in his next start.

Detmers did not factor into the decision Sunday, allowing two runs on seven hits and one walk over 5.2 innings against Kansas City. He struck out six.

Detmers has yet to earn a win this season, having picked up three no-decisions and a loss in his first four starts. He was able to limit damage Sunday, allowing just solo home runs to MJ Melendez and Vinny Pasquantino and managing to get out of a bases-loaded situation in the bottom of the fourth. However. he was yanked after 5.2 innings at 90 pitches with only a runner on first. Detmers owns a 4.15 ERA this season but has generated 10.38 K/9.

Detmers (0-1) took the loss Sunday, allowing two runs on six hits and one walk over 6.1 innings during a 2-1 loss to Boston. He struck out seven.

Aside from a go-ahead, two-run homer from Justin Turner in the third, Detmers was sharp and struck out at least seven for the second time over his first three starts. However, he couldn't get ample run support and suffered his first loss of the season. Though three outings (16 innings), Detmers has allowed eight earned runs, including two homers, but he has a solid 19:6 K:BB. The left-hander's next start is tentatively scheduled during the Angels' upcoming three-game set versus the Royals.

Detmers didn't factor in the decision during Sunday's 12-11 loss to the Blue Jays after he gave up five runs (four earned) on five hits with five strikeouts and two walks over five-plus innings.

The 23-year-old carried a 6-0 lead through five innings, but the Blue Jays came alive in the sixth on the back of a grand slam from Matt Chapman. Detmers generated 11 whiffs and threw 58 of his 89 pitches for strikes. In his first two starts of 2023 he's allowed eight runs (six earned) with a 12:5 K:BB across 9.2 innings.

Detmers did not factor into the decision Monday, allowing three runs (two earned) on four hits and three walks over 4.2 innings against the Mariners. He struck out seven.

Detmers struggled with his command, but his stuff looked good and induced plenty of swinging strikes. Last year, his first full season in the MLB, the left-hander posted a 3.77 ERA and 1.21 WHIP with 122 strikeouts over 129.0 innings, and he firmly entrenched in the Angels' rotation in 2023. Detmers is scheduled to pitch again Sunday at home versus the Blue Jays.

Detmers' average velocity on his slider in Tuesday's exhibition contest against the Dodgers was 90.3 mph, per Jared Tims of Talkin' Halos.

Detmers' average slider was thrown at 85.8 mph last season, so the increased velocity this spring is notable. The southpaw also has shown marked gains on his fastball during the exhibition slate, throwing it about five mph faster than he did last season. Detmers had an up-and-down campaign as a rookie in 2022, but he finished with a respectable 3.77 ERA, 1.21 WHIP and 22.6 percent strikeout rate. If his velocity jump this spring proves to be sustainable, Detmers could take another leap forward this season.

Detmers tossed five innings against Milwaukee in a Cactus League contest Thursday, allowing one run on two hits and no walks while striking out six batters.

Detmers was perfect through four innings against a Brewers lineup filled mostly with regulars before serving up a solo homer to Luke Voit in the fifth frame. The lefty hurler again showed increased velocity in comparison to last season, as his fastball sat at 94-96 mph and his slider at 88-91 mph, per Jeff Fletcher of The Orange County Register. Detmers may be poised for a breakout campaign, and he's supporting that notion with a 2.08 ERA, 0.77 WHIP and 17:4 K:BB through 13 innings this spring.

Detmers' fastball was clocked at 95-97 mph and his slider at 89-91 mph during his last Cactus League start against the Dodgers, Jeff Fletcher of the Orange County Register reports.

Detmers averaged 93.2 mph with his fastball and 85.9 mph with his slider last season, per Baseball Savant, so these are both notable bumps. His slider velocity did go up last year following a midseason demotion, but where he was sitting versus the Dodgers was even higher than that. Detmers said he didn't necessarily have a goal over the offseason to increase his velocity, but he did work with Driveline Baseball and training guru Eric Cressy. "I said I just want to get stronger and more explosive," Detmers said. "We made up a program for the whole offseason and I just stuck to that. And the velo came." Detmers had already been viewed as a potential breakout candidate in fantasy following his strong finish in 2022 and this news figures to only enhance his draft stock.

Detmers pitched two scoreless innings in a Cactus League game against the White Sox on Sunday, allowing two hits and striking out five batters.

Detmers looked dominant in his first spring action, striking out the side in the first inning and racking up two more Ks in the second. The lefty has posted a modest 22.1 percent strikeout rate through his first 30 big-league starts, but he's shown much more punchout potential in the minors, striking out 122 batters over just 68 innings. Detmers has some buzz as a potential breakout pitcher in fantasy this season, and increased strikeout numbers could certainly help that become a reality.

Detmers (7-6) gave up one earned run on four hits and a walk while striking out nine over six innings to earn the win in a 4-1 victory over the Rangers on Friday.

Detmers had his heavy slider working well all evening and piled up nine strikeouts on 21 swinging strikes as the Rangers hitters looked overwhelmed by the pitch. It was a high note on which to end the 2022 season for Detmers. He struggled for most of the opening months but did in fact pitch the only no-hitter of 2022, before posting excellent numbers in July and August after a brief stint in the minors. The 23-year-old left-hander's flashes of dominance this season make him a high-upside candidate for 2023.

Detmers (6-6) took the loss against Minnesota on Saturday, allowing five runs (four earned) on eight hits and no walks while striking out two batters over four innings.

Detmers couldn't find his footing in the loss, allowing two runs in the first inning and one run in each of the following three frames. He didn't walk any batters but notched only two strikeouts -- his fewest since June 8. Detmers looked like he had turned a corner between July 8 and Aug. 13, posting a 1.50 ERA, 1.03 WHIP and 47:13 K:BB over 36 innings across six starts during that stretch. He's taken a step back since, however, registering a 5.28 ERA and 1.72 WHIP along with a poor 22:11 K:BB over his subsequent six outings.

Detmers (6-5) allowed a run on four hits, two walks and a hit batsman while striking out three in six innings to earn the win Sunday over the Mariners.

Detmers was able to limit the Mariners to an Adam Frazier RBI single in the second inning. Detmers hadn't completed six frames in any of his last five starts. The 23-year-old southpaw's strong start lower his ERA to 3.71 with a 1.20 WHIP and 111:45 K:BB through 119 innings across 23 starts. He's lined up for a road start in Minnesota next weekend.

Detmers yielded four runs on six hits and two walks over five frames against Cleveland on Monday. He struck out three and did not factor in the decision.

Detmers was cursed by a brutal second inning in which he allowed all four runs, including a two-run double by Austin Hedges. The 23-year-old lefty saw his season ERA climb to 3.82 alongside a 108:43 K:BB through 22 starts. After yielding two or fewer runs in six straight outings, Detmers has given up four runs in three of his last four starts. He's projected to face Seattle at home next week.

Detmers is scheduled to make his next start Monday in Cleveland, Jeff Fletcher of The Orange County Register reports.

The Angels had previously confirmed Detmers as their starting pitcher for Sunday's series finale in Houston, but the young southpaw will be bumped back a day in the schedule as a matter of maintenance in his first full season in the big leagues. Additionally, Detmers has already faced Houston three times this season, so the Angels may have wanted to spare him from another potential blowup after he surrendered four runs on seven hits and two walks over 4.1 innings his last time out against the Astros on Sept. 2.

Detmers (5-5) allowed four runs on seven hits and two walks with six strikeouts over 4.1 innings, taking the loss Friday versus the Astros.

Detmers allowed the Astros to score twice in the third inning, and he put three runners aboard in the fifth, with Jose Marte allowing two of them to score. Over his last four starts, Detmers has alternated between good and bad performances. He's given up 10 runs, 26 hits and 10 walks in 19 innings in that span. He's at a 3.67 ERA, 1.19 WHIP and 105:41 K:BB through 108 innings across 21 starts this year. The southpaw is projected for a rematch with the Astros in Houston next weekend.

Detmers (5-4) picked up the win in Friday's 12-0 rout of the Blue Jays, allowing four hits and three walks over 5.1 scoreless innings. He struck out five.

The 23-year-old southpaw dealt with traffic on the bases in each of the first three innings but escaped without any damage as the Angels built a 7-0 lead, and Detmers cruised from that point on. He exited after 105 pitches (66 strikes), and over 33.2 innings since the All-Star break he sports a 2.14 ERA, 1.34 WHIP and 42:14 K:BB while winning three of his six starts.

Detmers (4-4) took the loss against Detroit on Saturday, allowing four runs on 10 hits and two walks while striking out three batters over 4.1 innings.

Detmers had been on a roll entering the contest, posting a 1.50 ERA, 1.03 WHIP and 11.8 K/9 over six starts since his July 8 return from the minors. However, he clearly lacked his best stuff against the Tigers, as he recorded only three strikeouts and and surrendered four extra-base hits (all doubles). The Angels will hope that this was merely a blip on the radar and not an indication that Detmers is dealing with any sort of physical issue. According to Rhett Bollinger of MLB.com, the rookie's velocity was down a tick in the outing, so that's something to keep an eye on moving forward.

Detmers allowed two runs on five hits and three walks while striking out nine over five innings in a no-decision versus the Twins on Saturday.

Detmers has recorded at least six strikeouts in eight straight starts, but he wasn't very efficient Saturday. The southpaw needed 96 pitches (62 strikes) to complete five frames, with Carlos Correa's solo home run and sacrifice fly accounting for the damage on his line. Detmers hasn't allowed more than two runs in one outing since the start of July. He owns a 3.45 ERA, 1.07 WHIP and 91:34 K:BB through 94 innings across 18 starts overall. The 23-year-old is projected for a favorable road start versus the Tigers next weekend.

Detmers (4-3) earned the 7-1 win in Game 2 of Saturday's 7-1 victory over Seattle, allowing one run on six hits and one walk with seven strikeouts in seven innings.

Detmers kept the damage to a minimum early and surrendered only one run on a Luis Torrens solo shot in the fifth in recording his third straight start permitting one run or fewer. The 23-year-old has pitched to a 1.16 ERA in five starts since the start of July while recording 38 strikeouts in 31 innings. Detmers possesses 3.44 ERA and 1.04 WHIP with 82 strikeouts in 89 innings across 17 starts and lines up to pitch again against Minnesota next weekend.

Detmers registered a no-decision during Sunday's 5-2 loss to Texas, allowing two runs (one earned) on three hits and three walks with 12 strikeouts in seven innings.

Detmers had his best stuff working Sunday, posting a season-high 12 strikeouts, recording an immaculate inning in the second and notching his second-best game score of the season at 74. The only thing missing was a win as a defensive miscue let the tying run cross the plate in the fifth and Los Angeles was unable to capitalize on nearly twice as many hits as Texas. The 23-year-old induced an astounding 24 swinging strikes on 105 pitches en route to the 12 strikeouts and concludes an impressive July with a 1.13 ERA and 0.92 WHIP with 31 strikeouts in 24 innings across four turns. He'll look to stay rolling next weekend with a road start in Seattle on tap.

Detmers (3-3) allowed three hits and two walks while striking out six in five scoreless innings to earn the win over Atlanta on Sunday.

Detmers was unable to record a third consecutive quality start Sunday since he required 90 pitches to get through five innings, but he still had a strong performance to earn his first win since May 10. The southpaw has been effective over three starts this month, posting a 1.06 ERA and 0.94 WHIP in 17 innings. He tentatively lines up to make his next start at home against the Rangers on Saturday.

Detmers allowed two runs on five hits, three walks and a hit batter while striking out six over six innings in a no-decision versus the Astros on Thursday.

Detmers wasn't as dominant as he was versus the Orioles last Friday, but he still turned in his second straight quality start and his third such effort of the season. The 23-year-old southpaw limited the damage Thursday to the first inning, allowing four baserunners and both runs in the opening frame before settling in. He now has a 4.11 ERA, 1.07 WHIP and 57:25 K:BB across 70 innings in 14 starts this season. He won't pitch again until after the All-Star break, but his recent performance makes it seem likely he'll be in the rotation when play resumes, especially if the Angels go back to rolling six starters.

Detmers is listed as the Angels' scheduled starting pitcher for Thursday's game against the Astros in Anaheim.

The Angels' decision to keep Detmers in the rotation for a second straight turn comes as little surprise after the team optioned fellow starter Chase Silseth to Double-A Rocket City over the weekend. With the Angels shortening their rotation to five men this week ahead of the All-Star break, Detmers was able to stick with the big club over Silseth after he struck out seven over six scoreless innings in Baltimore last Friday. Detmers owns a pedestrian 19.8 percent strikeout rate in the majors this season, but he's recaptured his swing-and-miss stuff over his past two outings between the Angels and Triple-A Salt Lake, racking up 21 punchouts over 12 frames.

Detmers allowed two hits and a walk while striking out seven in six scoreless innings during Friday's loss to the Orioles. He didn't factor into the decision.

The left-hander stepped in as a starter Friday after Michael Lorenzen (shoulder) was placed on the injured list, and Detmers was sharp in his return to the major-league mound. He posted a career-high seven strikeouts and left the game with the Angels holding a three-run lead, but he was forced to settle for a no-decision since the bullpen was unable to preserve the advantage. If he draws another start prior to the All-Star break, he tentatively lines up to take the mound at home against the Dodgers next Friday.

Detmers was called up from Triple-A Salt Lake to start Friday's contest against the Orioles.

As expected, Detmers will be on the mound Friday night against the Orioles, returning to the majors after making one start at Triple-A. The left-hander struggled in his two starts prior to being sent down, surrendering nine runs over 8.2 frames while allowing four home runs. He will look to return to the form he had in his prior two outings, a stretch where tossed 8.2 scoreless innings, when he toes the rubber Friday night which also happens to be his 23rd birthday.

Detmers is listed as the Angels' starting pitcher for Friday's game in Baltimore and will be formally recalled from Triple-A Salt Lake prior to the contest.

As anticipated, Detmers will step back into the Anaheim rotation as a replacement for Michael Lorenzen (shoulder), who was moved to the 15-day injured list. Though he earned a spot in the Angels' Opening Day rotation and delivered a solid 1.10 WHIP among his first 12 starts of the season while also tossing a no-hitter against the Rays on May 10, Detmers was prone to the long ball (1.71 HR/9) and turned in a weak 18.6 percent strikeout rate. The lack of punchouts were a surprise for a pitcher who had been one of the minors' most prolific strikeout artists in 2021, but Detmers could re-emerge as an asset in that category as he makes his return from Triple-A. In his lone start with Salt Lake after being optioned June 22, Detmers struck out 14 over six innings. According to Rhett Bollinger of MLB.com, Detmers worked with the Angels' minor-league pitching coordinator to tweak his slider, and the 23-year-old southpaw believes the success he found in his lone minor-league outing will set him up for success as he rej

Detmers will likely start Friday's game against the Orioles, Sam Blum of The Athletic reports.

The Angels need somebody to fill a rotation spot for Friday's matchup in Baltimore after Michael Lorenzen (shoulder) was placed on the 15-day injured list, and Detmers will likely rejoin the active roster after being sent down in late June. He allowed just one run on three hits and a walk while striking out 14 in six innings during a start at Triple-A Salt Lake on June 29, and he'll be pitching on full rest if he ultimately takes the mound for the Angels on Friday.

Detmers was optioned to Triple-A Salt Lake on Wednesday, Mike DiGiovanna of the Los Angeles Times reports.

Detmers surrendered five runs across five innings Tuesday against the Royals, which was apparently the final straw before losing his spot in the rotation, and on the big-league roster. The 22-year-old delivered a no-hitter May 10 against the Rays but otherwise failed to produce a quality start. Overall Detmers has a 4.66 ERA, 1.10 WHIP and 44:21 K:BB over 58 innings this season, and he could receive another look in the majors later in the summer if he's able to get back on track with Salt Lake.

Detmers allowed five runs on five hits and two walks with six strikeouts in five innings in a no-decision versus the Royals on Tuesday.

Detmers gave up runs in three of the five innings he worked, but the Angels' offense was able to bail him out later in the contest. It was the first time he's completed five innings since May 25. The southpaw is still struggling a bit with a 4.66 ERA, 1.10 WHIP and 44:21 K:BB across 58 innings in 12 starts this year. As long as the Angels stick with a six-man rotation, Detmers will likely continue to draw starts. He's tentatively projected for a home start versus the White Sox next week.

Detmers will keep his spot in the Angels' rotation and make his next start, likely against Kansas City next week, Sam Blum of The Athletic reports.

Detmers has failed to complete five innings in each of his past three starts, though he has given up just four runs across 12.1 innings over that stretch. Walks have been the biggest problem for the left-hander of late -- during the three-game period, he has posted a troubling 5.8 BB/9. The Angels don't have a ton of options to step into his rotation spot, and they have a doubleheader coming up Saturday, so it isn't a surprise that Detmers will make his next start as scheduled. However, he may need to start pitching deeper into games and reducing his walks in order to maintain his rotation security.

Detmers (2-3) took the loss during Wednesday's 4-1 defeat at the hands of the Dodgers, allowing four runs on four hits and three walks with six strikeouts in 3.2 innings.

Detmers fell behind early after surrendering a three-run Will Smith homer in the first and the Angels couldn't muster any offense with opposing starter Tyler Anderson taking a no-hitter into the ninth. Detmers has struggled since throwing a no-hitter of his own May 10, going 4.1 innings or fewer in four starts and taking the loss in the other as Los Angeles has lost all five games. The 22-year-old owns carries a 4.25 ERA and 1.08 WHIP into a start against Kansas City early next week.

Detmers pitched 4.1 scoreless innings against Boston on Wednesday, allowing three hits and two walks while striking out one. He did not factor in the decison.

Detmers did well in keeping the Red Sox off the scoreboard, but he didn't last very long in the contest due to throwing 85 pitches before he could get through the fifth inning. That was partly due to Boston fouling off 22 of his offerings despite collecting only three hits. This was Detmers' second straight short scoreless start -- he lasted only 4.1 innings against the Yankees in his previous appearance despite allowing zero runs. It's impressive that the left-hander has logged 8.2 scoreless frames against two top offenses, but his fantasy impact is muted by the fact that he hasn't been able to go deep into contests.

Detmers did not factor into the decision Thursday, allowing zero runs on five hits and three walks over 4.1 innings against the Yankees. He struck out four.

Detmers bounced back Thursday with a solid outing after giving up eight runs over his previous two outings. However, the left-hander got pulled in the fifth with 86 pitches after allowing two of the first three batters to reach. Despite the scoreless outing, Detmers was outshined by Yankees starter Jameson Taillon, so it was unlikely he'd earn the win even if he made it through five innings. Across nine starts, Detmers sports a 4.20 ERA and a 1.00 WHIP with just 31 strikeouts across 45 innings.

Detmers won't start as scheduled Wednesday against the Yankees since the game was postponed due to inclement weather.

The game will be made up via a doubleheader Thursday, with Shohei Ohtani starting Game 1 and Detmers pitching in Game 2, per Sam Blum of The Athletic. Since throwing a no-hitter against the Rays on May 10, Detmers has given up eight runs across 9.2 frames in two starts .

Detmers (2-2) took the loss against Texas on Wednesday, allowing five runs on five hits and one walk while striking out three batters across six innings.

It was a positive that Detmers was able to give the Angels six innings in the contest -- this was only the second time all season that he has pitched that deep into a game. However, the southpaw was tagged for two fourth-inning homers and tied a season-worst mark by yielding five runs overall. Since hurling a no-hitter against Tampa Bay on May 10, Detmers has given up eight earned runs across 9.2 frames. Things won't get easier for him in the near future, as he's lined up to take on the Yankees in New York in his next start.

Detmers did not factor into the decision Tuesday against the Rangers, allowing three runs on three hits and two walks while striking out four over 3.2 innings.

On the heels of his no-hitter against Tampa Bay, this was a bit of a disappointment, especially considering the opponent. Detmers served up homers to Corey Seager and Kole Calhoun and was pulled after just 61 pitches. Fatigue was likely a factor after Detmers threw 108 pitches in last week's no-hitter. These are the types of ups and downs we should expect from a rookie pitcher.

Detmers (2-1) earned the win in a complete game, no-hitting the Rays and issuing one walk while striking out two in a 12-0 victory Tuesday.

In only his 11th major-league start, Detmers joined an exclusive club by throwing a no-hitter. 25 of the 28 batters he faced put the ball in play but none were able to hit safely. Two Rays reached base, one on a walk and the other on an error by first baseman Jared Walsh. The 22-year-old had never pitched more than six innings or had a scoreless outing prior to Tuesday's no-no. The outing lowered his season ERA from 5.32 to 3.77.

Detmers gave up three runs on four hits and two walks over 4.2 innings in Wednesday's win over the Red Sox. He struck out two and did not factor into the decision.

Detmers surrendered a two RBI double to Trevor Story in the bottom of the third inning, scoring Bobby Dalbec and Christian Arroyo. He later allowed another RBI double to Story, which scored Arroyo again. The 22-year-old has struggled to find his footing in 2022, pitching five or less innings in all five of his starts and posting 5.32 ERA and 1.14 WHIP over 22 innings. He tentatively lines up to face the Rays at home on Tuesday.

Detmers (1-1) allowed one run on two hits and one walk while striking out four batters to earn the win against Cleveland on Thursday.

The left-hander kept the Guardians off the scoreboard for four innings before Austin Hedges slugged a solo home run off him with two outs in the fifth. Detmers bounced back to retire the next batter and line himself up for the victory. The 22-year-old allowed five runs over 3.1 innings against Texas in his his second start of the campaign but has since yielded just three runs over 10 frames. His strikeout numbers haven't yet exploded the way they did in the minors -- Detmers has a modest 16 punchouts across 17.1 innings this season -- but he appears to be settling into the final slot in the Angels' rotation. His next start is likely to come in Boston next week.

Detmers (0-1) took the loss Friday as the Angels fell 5-3 to the Orioles, giving up two runs on three hits and a walk over five innings. He struck out four.

It was a solid effort from the rookie left-hander, who threw 48 of 70 pitches for strikes before exiting, but Detmers left the game with his team down 2-0, and the Halos never found an equalizer. Detmers' 6.57 ERA in three starts looks rough, but his 1.30 WHIP and 12:4 K:BB through 12.1 innings suggest he's been at least a little bit unlucky.

Detmers yielded five runs on six hits and a walk over 3.1 innings in Friday's win over Texas. He struck out five and did not factor in the decision.

Detmers had allowed just one run on an RBI fielder's choice through the first three innings before the wheels fell off in the fourth. He put four consecutive batters on base with one out, including a two-run double by Charlie Culberson, before leaving the game. He was later charged with two more runs that came around to score with Austin Warren on the mound. Detmers now owns a brutal 8.59 ERA with an 8:3 K:BB through 7.1 frames. He's expected to face Baltimore at home next week.

Detmers got a no-decision in a 13-6 loss to the Astros on Friday, allowing two runs on three hits and two walks with three strikeouts in four innings.

Detmers pitched well Friday but was stung by the long ball, allowing both runs on solo shots by Jose Altuve and Aldemys Diaz. Manager Joe Maddon took an understandably conservative approach with the former top prospect and Detmers, who struggled during the 2021 campaign. The 22-year-old is scheduled to face the Rangers for his next start on Friday.

Detmers will start Friday against the Astros, Jeff Fletcher of The Orange County Register reports.

Detmers was originally scheduled to start Tuesday against the Marlins, though he's flipping spots in the rotation with Patrick Sandoval. Detmers got some limited experience in the majors last season, posting a poor 7.40 ERA and 1.79 WHIP across 20.2 innings. However, he posted an extremely impressive 43.1 K% across 54 frames at Double-A Rocket City in 2021, which combined with his prospect pedigree suggests there is significant room for improvement at the big-league level.

Manager Joe Maddon confirmed Friday that Detmers will begin the regular season as the Angels' sixth starter, Jeff Fletcher of The Orange County Register reports.

Detmers made five starts for the Angels last year, and he'll be rewarded with a rotation spot to begin the 2022 campaign after he allowed two runs on six hits and no walks while striking out 11 in 5.2 innings across two spring starts this year. The 22-year-old had a 42.0 percent strikeout rate in the minors last season and will attempt to translate his success to the big-league level in 2022.

Detmers is likely to open the season as the Angels' sixth starter, Jeff Fletcher of The Orange County Register reports.

The team has reportedly picked its sixth starter but won't announce the winner yet, though indications are that Detmers has beaten Jaime Barria for the job. The 2020 10th-overall pick didn't show all that much in his five-start debut last year, posting a 7.40 ERA and a 6.36 FIP, but that's understandable given that he'd only made 13 starts as a professional prior to earning his first call-up. His 42.0 percent strikeout rate in the minors last season hints at his potential, though just how much of it he'll realize right away this season remains to be seen.

Detmers threw two innings in the Angels' 7-3 Cactus League win Sunday, allowing one hit while striking out five.

Detmers flashed the big strikeout potential that helped accelerate his path to the majors last season, as he punched out five of the seven batters he faced. The southpaw whiffed 108 batters in only 62 innings in the minors in 2021 but was not quite as effective after being called up by Los Angeles, striking out 19 in 20.2 frames in the majors. Detmers is the leading candidate to fill the final spot in the team's six-man rotation for the coming campaign, and he could emerge as a viable fantasy asset if he's able to come anywhere close to the strikeout prowess he displayed in the minors.

Detmers allowed two runs on three hits and two walks while striking out two across 1.2 innings in the win over the Mariners on Sunday. He did not factor into the decision.

Detmers started the season finale after his previous appearance came back on Aug. 21. He failed to last two innings, and allowed all three of his hits in the second frame. The rookie struggled in his five starts this season, carrying a 7.40 ERA and 1.79 WHIP with 19 strikeouts in 20.2 innings.

The Angels recalled Detmers from Triple-A Salt Lake prior to his start Sunday against the Mariners.

The rookie will look to improve upon his 7.11 ERA and 1.68 WHIP in this final appearance of 2021. Whether he begins next season in the big leagues likely depends on how much the Angels improve their pitching staff this offseason.

Detmers will start Sunday's season finale against the Mariners, Sam Blum of The Athletic reports.

Detmers missed nearly a month after he tested positive for COVID-19, and he was optioned to Triple-A Salt Lake after he was reinstated from the injured list in late September. He allowed one run on four hits and a walk while striking out two in two innings during a Triple-A appearance Monday and is expected to be on a pitch count in his return to the major-league mound Sunday.

Detmers (COVID-19) was reinstated from the injured list and was optioned to Triple-A Salt Lake on Thursday, Sam Blum of The Athletic reports.

Detmers has been sidelined for nearly a month, though he has been able to toss both bullpen sessions and simulated games. He's set to start for Salt Lake on Monday and could return to the majors shortly after to make a final start. In four appearances at the big-league level, Detmers has compiled a 7.11 ERA and 1.68 WHIP across 19 innings this season.

Detmers (COVID-19) threw 53 pitches over three innings in a simulated game Wednesday, per MLB.com.

The rookie previously tossed a sim game last Saturday and appears to be on the brink of returning to the active roster. He hasn't pitched in a game in over a month, so he'll likely be limited to a bullpen role for the remainder of the campaign. Detmers could be capped at around 50 pitches upon his return.

Angels manager Joe Maddon suggested Saturday that Detmers (illness) could be activated from the COVID-19 injured list at some point during next weekend's series with the Mariners, Jeff Fletcher of The Orange County Register reports.

After completing a 40-pitch simulated game earlier this weekend, Detmers is expected to toss one more sim game in the next day or two before getting the green light to rejoin the Angels. On the shelf since Aug. 25 following his positive COVID-19 test, Detmers has taken longer than anticipated to build up upon completing his quarantine period, but given his workload in his most recent sim game, the Angels look to be preparing him for a starting role upon his return. In his first four big-league starts before being shut down, Detmers went 1-3 with a 7.11 ERA and 1.68 WHIP while striking out 17 over 19 frames.

Manager Joe Maddon said he expects Detmers (illness) to be activated from the COVID-19 injured list for the Sept. 25 game against Seattle, Sam Blum of The Athletic reports.

Detmers tested positive for COVID-19 in late August and has been throwing bullpen sessions since rejoining the team Sept. 5, and he's taking some time to build back up before returning to the mound for the Angels. The 22-year-old has struggled in his first taste of the majors this year with a 7.11 ERA, 1.68 WHIP and 17:9 K:BB across 19 innings.

Detmers (COVID-19) threw a bullpen session in San Diego on Wednesday, per MLB.com.

Detmers recently confirmed that his placement on the injured list in late August was due to a positive COVID-19 test, but the rookie appears to have recovered and will now build up with an eye toward a return. He isn't stretched out to start, however, and could move to a relief role given that he'll almost certainly be on a limited pitch count upon rejoining the big club.

Detmers (COVID-19) rejoined the Angels in Anaheim on Friday, per Sam Blum of The Athletic, but it remains unclear when he will be ready to be activated, Jack Harris of the Los Angeles Times reports.

Detmers confirmed that he recently tested positive for COVID-19 and was placed in "hard quarantine." The rookie last pitched in a big-league game Aug. 21, so it may take some time for him to ramp back up into game shape. If he can stretch out relatively quickly, Detmers could potentially reclaim his spot in the rotation upon his return.

The Angels placed Detmers on the injured list Wednesday for undisclosed reasons.

Such transactions with no injury designations often prove to be COVID-related, but it's unclear if that's the case with Detmers. An explanation for the rookie's going on the IL should become available within the next couple days, at which point an estimation of his return date will be possible.

Detmers (1-3) allowed three runs on seven hits and three walks while striking out four over 3.2 innings as he took the loss versus Cleveland on Saturday.

While the southpaw did little to help his own cause, the Angels mustered only four baserunners in the contest to support him. Detmers' biggest mistake was a three-run blast by Jose Ramirez in the third inning. The Angels' first-round pick from 2020 has struggled to a 7.11 ERA, 1.68 WHIP and 17:9 K:BB across his first 19 big-league innings. He's projected for a tough home matchup versus San Diego next weekend.

Detmers (1-2) earned the win Sunday against the Astros after tossing six innings of one-run ball, allowing three hits and two walks while striking out six.

The rookie had a rough start to his MLB career after allowing 11 earned runs across his first 9.1 innings, but he was able to deliver an improved showing in this one and that earned him his first big-league win as a result. It was also the first time Detmers pitched at least six innings, and he also posted the first quality of his MLB career. Last but not least, the six strikeouts represented a season-high mark for him.

Detmers (0-2) allowed five earned runs on seven hits and two walks while striking out five across five innings, taking the loss to the Dodgers on Sunday.

Detmers took his second loss in his second career start. He surrendered five runs, including a two-run homer by Albert Pujols in the second inning. The rookie has had a rough start to his MLB career, allowing 11 earned runs in his first 9.1 innings. However, he was able to improve on his first outing by tallying five punchouts Sunday.

Detmers (0-2) allowed five earned runs on seven hits and two walks while striking out five across five innings, taking the loss to the Dodgers on Sunday.

Detmers took his second loss in his second career start. He surrendered five runs, including a two-run homer by Albert Pujols in the second inning. The rookie has had a rough start to his MLB career, allowing 11 earned runs in his first 9.1 innings. However, he was able to improve on his first outing by tallying five punchouts Sunday.

Detmers is scheduled to start Sunday's game against the Dodgers, the Associated Press reports.

The Angels' top pitching prospect will get a chance to redeem himself after he labored during his big-league debut last weekend versus Oakland. The 22-year-old southpaw last 4.1 innings in the start, giving up six runs on six hits and two walks while striking out two. After posting a massive 15.9 K/9 between stops at Double-A Rocket City and Triple-A Salt Lake prior to his call-up, Detmers possesses the kind of upside that makes him worthy of a speculative pickup in leagues where he's available, though he may need to deliver a solid outing Sunday to ensure he receives further turns through the Halos' six-man rotation.

Detmers (0-1) allowed six earned runs on six hits and two walks while striking out two across 4.1 innings, taking the loss to the Athletics on Sunday.

Detmers made it through his first two innings with the Angels without giving up a run before allowing a five-run fifth inning. He surrendered a pair of home runs to Matt Olson and Yan Gomes. The 22-year-old had a 3.15 ERA and 106 strikeouts in 60 innings between two minor league teams. It is unknown whether he will have a long-term spot in the starting rotation.

The Angels selected Detmers' contract from Triple-A Salt Lake ahead of his scheduled start Sunday against the Athletics.

Los Angeles optioned reliever James Hoyt to Triple-A to clear room on the active roster for Detmers, who is making his MLB debut Sunday. The 22-year-old lefty has been electric between stops at Triple-A and Double-A Rocket City this season, posting a 3.15 ERA and 1.10 WHIP while punching out 106 over 60 innings. The sky-high 15.9 K/9 rate in particular should make Detmers an interesting speculative pickup in fantasy leagues. The Angels haven't determined how long Detmers will stick with the big club, but he should have a window to make more than one turn through the rotation with starters Alex Cobb (wrist) and Shohei Ohtani (thumb) tending to injuries and with Andrew Heaney now plying his trade with the Yankees.

Detmers will make his major-league debut Sunday against the Athletics.

Detmers advanced to Triple-A Salt Lake on Saturday and struck out nine in six scoreless frames during his lone appearance with the club. He'll serve as a starter after Alex Cobb (wrist) was placed on the injured list and Shohei Ohtani (thumb) was pushed back to start Monday, but whether Detmers remains in the big-league rotation could depend on his results Sunday.

Detmers will be promoted to Triple-A Salt Lake on Thursday, Sam Blum of The Athletic reports.

Detmers is one of the Angels' top prospects, and he's been effective at Double-A Rocket City to begin the year. He has a stellar 16.17 K/9 and has posted a 3.50 ERA and 1.17 WHIP in 54 innings across 12 starts. It's not yet clear whether the 22-year-old could be in consideration for a major-league roster spot at some point in 2021, but he'll get a chance to prove himself against a higher level of competition going forward.

Detmers tossed six innings for Double-A Rocket City on Saturday, allowing five runs on seven hits and one walk while striking out 16.

Detmers' outing wasn't without flaws -- he gave up three homers and five earned runs -- but the 21-year-old flashed his impressive strikeout ability by fanning 16 batters over six frames. He has struck out a total of 30 batters over his past two starts covering 12 innings and has registered a massive 16.7 K/9 on the season.

Detmers struck out a career-high 14 while allowing two runs on three hits and two walks over six innings in his start Sunday for Double-A Rocket City.

Detmers' best start of the season was highlighted by an immaculate first inning, during which he struck out the side on nine pitches. Through eight starts at Double-A, the 21-year-old lefty already has three double-digit strikeout efforts on his ledger, despite not covering more than six innings in any of his outings.

Detmers will begin his minor-league career with the Double-A Rocket City Trash Pandas, Fabian Ardaya of The Athletic reports.

Detmers was the Angels' first-round pick in the 2020 first-year player draft but wasn't able to log any professional innings last season due to the cancellation of the minor-league season. He was thought to be in contention for a big-league bullpen role coming out of spring training, but the decision was ultimately made to have him start the season at Double-A. The left-hander was originally scheduled to make his pro debut Tuesday, but a weather-related postponement means that he will instead start Wednesday.

Detmers was reassigned to minor-league camp Wednesday.

The 2020 first-round was in consideration for a spot in the bullpen for Opening Day, but it's not much of a surprise to see him sent down considering he's yet to make a professional appearance at any level. Detmers could very well make his major-league debut this season, but he'll have to start the campaign in the minors.

Detmers is being considered for an Opening Day bullpen spot, Fabian Ardaya of The Athletic reports.

It would be something of a surprise if Detmers did indeed break camp with the big-league team, as last year's canceled minor-league season prevented him from making his professional debut at any level after being selected 10th-overall in the draft. He was an advanced college pitcher who was already reportedly under consideration to make his major-league debut last year, however, so there's seemingly a very real chance he debuts at some point this season, even if it's not on Opening Day.

Detmers has a chance to get a a big-league call-up in 2021, Fabian Ardaya of The Athletic reports.

Manager Joe Maddon singled out Detmers and fellow prospect Chris Rodriguez as pitchers he's excited to see during spring training and indicated that both could make an impact at some point in the coming campaign. Detmers was the Angels' first-round pick in the 2020 first-year player draft and spent the season at the team's alternate training camp, but his arsenal is already polished enough to possibly be big-league ready as soon as this season if a need arises.

Detmers Fabian Ardaya of The Athletic to big-league camp Thursday.

The 10th-overall pick in last year's draft, Detmers has yet to make his professional debut, as the canceled minor-league campaign meant he had to spend the summer pitching at the Angels' alternate site. The Angels reportedly considered calling him up at one point, but with minor-league baseball returning they'll presumably be able to give him a more standard development path.

Angels manager Joe Maddon indicated Monday that Detmers could make his major-league debut this season, Rhett Bollinger of MLB.com reports.

Detmers was selected by the Angels in the first round of the 2020 first-year player draft. In a typical season, he would he honing his skills at the minor-league level, but he has instead been working out at the team's alternate training site in Long Beach due to the cancellation of the minor-league season. Detmers' command and mound presence are advanced for a pitcher coming out of college, so the Angels may be willing to see how he fares in the big leagues without ever having pitched a minor-league game. "It's not out of the question that he may be able to help us this year," Maddon said. "Regarding next year, with a full minor-league system operating, who knows? It's just a matter of functionality of the entire organization, I think, and how you're going to react and treat your better minor-league players. I don't know that answer right now."
