REID DETMERS NEWS

Shaky in sixth loss 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.

Impact 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.

Impact 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.

Surrenders 10 hits in loss 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.

Impact 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.

Yields two runs 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.

Impact 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.

Strikes out seven in win Detmers (4-3) earned the 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.

Impact Detmers kept the damage to a minimum early and surrendered only one run on a Luis Torrens solo shot in the fifth. This was the lefty's third straight start permitting one earned 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 versus Minnesota next weekend.

Strikes out 12 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.

Impact 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.

Tosses five scoreless frames 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.

Impact 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.

Decent in no-decision 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.

Impact 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. Detmers 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.

JULY 15, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

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

Impact 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.

JULY 13, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Tosses six scoreless 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.

Impact 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 after 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.

JULY 9, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

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

Impact 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.

JULY 8, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Locked in for start Friday 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.

Impact 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 rejoins the big club.
