After spending three months in the minors, pitcher Reid Detmers is making his return to the big leagues with the Los Angeles Angels. General manager Perry Minasian announced that Detmers would start against the Dodgers on Tuesday. The 25-year-old left-hander had been sent down to Triple-A earlier in the season due to a rough performance with a 6.14 ERA.
Detmers showed improvement in his recent starts at Salt Lake, pitching well in five out of his last seven games. His consistency and mental readiness led to his call-back to the majors. Manager Ron Washington expressed confidence in Detmers and hopes he can finish the season on a positive note.
With Detmers back in the rotation, the Angels now have six potential starters, including young pitchers like Tyler Anderson, Sam Aldegheri, and Griffin Canning. The team may consider implementing a six-man rotation to manage the workload for these inexperienced pitchers.
Additionally, the Angels are expected to add one position player to the roster on Sunday, but the specific player has not been confirmed yet. Meanwhile, top prospect Christian Moore is undergoing evaluation for a knee injury, and pitcher Carson Fulmer received positive news from an MRI showing only inflammation in his elbow.
Overall, Detmers’ return signifies a chance for redemption and a fresh start for the talented pitcher as he looks to make his mark in the major leagues once again. The Angels are hopeful that he can contribute positively to the team’s performance in the final stretch of the season.
