Silseth (elbow) tossed 25-pitch bullpen sessions on both May 17 and May 20, per MLB.com.
EDGE Analysis
Silseth has been gradually progressing from the right elbow inflammation that he initially felt in a start against Boston on April 7. The right-hander was moved to the 60-day IL on April 30 and isn't eligible to be activated until June 7. Given the length of his layoff, Silseth will almost certainly need multiple minor-league rehab appearances before he's ready to return to the Angels' rotation.

The Angels transferred Silseth to the 60-day injured list Tuesday.
EDGE Analysis
Silseth has been on the injured list since April 8 due to right elbow inflammation. He has not thrown at all since landing on the IL and does not have a clear timetable to return, though he won't be eligible to come off the injured list until June 7.

Silseth (elbow) has been doing strengthening and plyometric activities, but he hasn't yet resumed throwing, per MLB.com.
EDGE Analysis
Silseth was placed on the 15-day IL on April 8 due to right elbow inflammation. A subsequent MRI cleared the hurler of any ligament damage, and an initial timeframe of three weeks was established for his return. However, it's not clear if Silseth will be able to meet that timeline given that he isn't yet throwing. Prior to getting hurt, Silseth had allowed six earned runs while posting a 12:4 K:BB over eight innings of work.

Silseth (elbow) said Wednesday that he expects to return from the 15-day injured list in around three weeks, Rhett Bollinger of MLB.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
Silseth received good news earlier in the week, when both of the doctors who evaluated his injured elbow determined he was dealing with nothing more than inflammation. While Silseth thus appears likely to resume throwing soon and steer clear of an extended absence, he'll still need more than the minimum 15 days to make a full recovery from the injury and get fully ramped up. Jose Soriano was moved from the bullpen earlier this week and will serve as the Angels' No. 5 starter while Silseth is on the shelf.

Silseth was diagnosed with right elbow inflammation after undergoing an MRI on Wednesday, Rhett Bollinger of MLB.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
The diagnosis comes as good news, as Silseth has been cleared of any ligament damage in his pitching elbow. The right-hander will still need some down time to let the inflammation calm down, so his stay on the injured list could last longer than 15 days. The Angels have moved Jose Soriano into the rotation to fill in for Silseth.

Silseth (0-1) allowed three runs on three hits and two walks over five innings Sunday, striking out seven and taking a loss against Boston.
EDGE Analysis
All three hits against Silseth came in the span of four batters during the third inning, and all three left the park. He's now given up six earned runs through eight innings in two starts despite a strong 12:4 K:BB. Silseth forced nine swinging strikes on 91 pitches Sunday after getting 13 whiffs on 76 pitches in his season debut. Silseth is currently lined up for a rematch in Boston next weekend.

Silseth allowed four runs (three earned) on five hits and two walks over three innings Monday. He struck out five and did not factor into the decision during the win over Miami.
EDGE Analysis
Silseth was tagged for all four runs in the first inning and was able to settle in for a pair of scoreless frames. He needed 76 pitches in the short outing but managed to force 14 whiffs on 37 swings. However, his velocity was down a touch, with the fastball averaging 93.8 mph. Silseth is currently projected for a home matchup with the Red Sox this weekend.

Silseth has posted a 1.08 ERA, 0.84 WHIP and 5:2 K:BB over 8.1 innings in Cactus League play.
EDGE Analysis
Silseth hasn't piled up strikeouts this spring, though he did record seven punchouts over five frames in a B game March 16, per Jeff Fletcher of The Orange County Register. He has the stuff to miss bats at the big-league level, as evidenced by his 25.3 percent strikeout rate over 52.1 big-league innings last season, though he also posted an 11th-percentile, 11.8 percent walk rate. The right-hander will have the opportunity to log his first full MLB season as a starter in 2024, making him a sleeper candidate in fantasy, though there's a wide range of possibilities for what his numbers may look like by the end of the campaign.
