Loses arbitration case Detmers will make $2.625 million in 2026 after losing his arbitration hearing with the Angels on Tuesday, Mark Feinsand of MLB.com reports.

Impact Detmers had filed for $2.925 million, but he will receive the lower of the two figures after finishing the 2025 campaign with a 3.96 ERA and 1.30 WHIP over 63.2 innings. The 26-year-old southpaw worked exclusively out of the bullpen last year, but manager Kurt Suzuki confirmed Tuesday that Detmers will begin 2026 in the Angels' rotation regardless of how he performs during spring training.

Rotation spot secure Manager Kurt Suzuki confirmed Tuesday that Detmers (elbow) is viewed as a lock for the Angels' Opening Day rotation, Rhett Bollinger of MLB.com reports.

Impact Though Detmers found some success while working as a full-time reliever in 2025 (3.08 xFIP, 20.7 K-BB% in 63.2 innings), Angels general manager Perry Minasian said back in October that the left-hander earned another opportunity to prove he belongs in the rotation. Detmers apparently won't even need to earn his spot in the rotation with a strong showing in spring training; in addition to Detmers, Suzuki said that Yusei Kikuchi and Jose Soriano are also locked in as starters heading into the start of camp, while Grayson Rodriguez (elbow) will clinch a spot if he emerges from the spring healthy. Though he didn't pitch over the final weeks of this past season after experiencing elbow inflammation, Detmers didn't require offseason surgery and looks like he'll be 100 percent at the onset of camp.

Will move back into rotation Angels general manager Perry Minasian said Saturday that Detmers (elbow) will move back into the rotation in 2026, Jeff Fletcher of the Orange County Register reports.

Impact Detmers pitched well in his first season as a full-time reliever in 2025, posting a 3.96 ERA and 80:25 K:BB over 63.2 innings. However, Minasian feels the southpaw has "earned" another shot to be a starting pitcher in 2026 and is "a different guy" than the one who held a 4.90 ERA over 75 starts from 2021-to-2024. Detmers struck out 418 across 385.2 frames during the latter stretch, so he's displayed bat-missing ability as a starter. The lefty ended this season on the 60-day injured list with an injured pitching elbow, but he's expected to recover with rest.

Surgery free Detmers said Tuesday that tests on his left elbow showed no structural damage so he does not need surgery, Jeff Fletcher of The Orange County Register reports.

Impact Detmers said he is planning a normal winter in terms of offseason work. As for his role next year, he added that he would prefer to start next year, but will do whatever the teams asks of him. The southpaw pitched in 61 games in 2025, but made no starts after starting off the first four seasons of his career in the major as just a starter with a 4.90 ERA.
