Starting rehab assignment Tuesday Joyce (shoulder) is set to begin a minor-league rehab assignment with the Angels' Arizona Complex league squad Tuesday, Jeff Fletcher of The Orange County Register reports.

Impact Joyce has missed the entirety of the 2026 campaign while recovering from May 2025 shoulder surgery and a subsequent May 2026 setback. His rehab assignment will likely be a prolonged one, spanning outings at various levels in the Angels' minor-league system.

Faces hitters Friday Joyce (shoulder) faced hitters in a live bullpen session Friday, Rhett Bollinger of MLB.com reports.

Impact It's the first time Joyce has faced hitters since being shut down from throwing in mid-May. It's a promising sign in the right-hander as he continues to recover from shoulder surgery that he underwent in July of 2025. A clearer timeline for Joyce's return to the majors should be established once he's been given the green light to embark on a rehab assignment.

Throwing only fastballs Joyce (shoulder) has been throwing at the Angels' complex in Arizona, but he's limited to fastball-only bullpens, per MLB.com.

Impact Joyce has yet to pitch for the Angels this season as he continues to work his way back from right shoulder surgery. The fireballing reliever had progressed as far as taking part in a minor-league rehab assignment, but he was pulled from that stint in mid-May after four outings because he wasn't recovering as well as hoped. It appears the organization is taking a caution approach to Joyce's recovery, so he may not be ready to join the big-league club until after the All-Star break.

Resumes mound work Joyce (shoulder) threw 10 pitches off a mound Friday, Jeff Fletcher of The Orange County Register reports.

Impact It was a short session for Joyce, but it was a tangible step in his recovery given that it was his first time throwing off a mound since his rehab was halted in mid-May. The righty reliever threw only fastballs Friday, per MLB.com, so he has more hurdles to clear before he's ready to resume a minor-league rehab assignment. It's not out of the question that Joyce could be activated off the 60-day IL in late June, but a more likely scenario has him continuing to rehab into July.

Yet to throw off mound Joyce (shoulder) has been throwing at the Angels' facility in Arizona but has yet to resume mound work, Rhett Bollinger of MLB.com reports.

Impact Joyce has been on the injured list all year while on the mend from a shoulder procedure he underwent in May 2025. He was initially cleared to begin a rehab assignment in late April but was shut down when his shoulder began failing to recover in between outings. He resumed throwing in late May, but the Angels are seemingly taking things slowly while building the 25-year-old back up. It's unclear how far away he is from beginning another rehab assignment.
