Silseth (2-1) earned the win over the Yankees on Wednesday, allowing one run on four hits and two walks while striking out 10 batters over 5.2 innings.
EDGE Analysis
Silseth was called up from Triple-A earlier in the day and dominated New York in just his second big-league start of the season. The right-hander racked up 14 whiffs and a career-best 10 strikeouts -- his previous MLB high mark was six. Silseth has compiled a 2.79 ERA, 1.02 WHIP and 44:14 K:BB over 42 innings in the minors this season, but he had yet to show much in the majors, posting a 6.08 ERA, 1.59 WHIP and 7.4 K/9 over 47.1 career innings coming into Wednesday. Given the impressive performance against the Yankees, there's a chance he could stick as the Angels' sixth starter moving forward, though fantasy managers may want to see a larger sample of success before considering him as a waiver-wire addition.

The Angels recalled Silseth from Triple-A Salt Lake on Wednesday.
EDGE Analysis
Silseth will make just his second major-league start of the year Wednesday against the Yankees after taking five underwhelming rotation turns at Triple-A. The 23-year-old right-hander holds a career 6.08 ERA in the big leagues and is not a recommended fantasy streamer.

Silseth will be recalled from Triple-A Salt Lake on Wednesday to start against the Yankees, Erica Weston of Bally Sports West reports.
EDGE Analysis
Silseth was optioned to Triple-A on June 3 and has since put up a 4.50 ERA and 1.14 WHIP through 22 innings across five starts. Despite his unimpressive performance, he'll be called upon to start Wednesday. Silseth has only two major-league appearances this year that lasted at least three innings.

Silseth was optioned to Triple-A Salt Lake on Saturday, Sam Blum of The Athletic reports.
EDGE Analysis
Jose Soriano will join the Angels' bullpen in a corresponding roster move. Silseth has posted a 5.30 ERA and 15:13 K:BB in 18.2 innings this season at the MLB level.

Manager Phil Nevin said Sunday that Silseth will move back to the bullpen to serve as a high-leverage reliever, Sam Blum of The Athletic reports.
EDGE Analysis
Silseth made his first start of the season Tuesday against the Orioles, but Jaime Barria will take the mound to begin Monday's series opener against the Red Sox. Silseth performed better in shorter relief appearances earlier this year, tossing five scoreless innings while picking up a hold over his first three appearances of the season.

Silseth (0-1) took the loss Tuesday, allowing four runs on six hits and a walk over 3.1 innings against the Orioles. He struck out five.
EDGE Analysis
Silseth, making his first start this season after beginning the year in the bullpen, was tagged for three runs in the fourth inning en route to the loss. Overall, the 22-year-old right-hander has a 5.40 ERA with a 1.46 WHIP and 10:6 K:BB through 11.2 innings. Silseth could still get another look in the rotation while Jose Suarez (shoulder) is sidelined. His next start would likely come next week against Boston.

Silseth is scheduled to start Tuesday's game against the Orioles, Jake Rill of MLB.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
Silseth pitched exclusively as a starter last season but struggled to a 6.59 ERA in seven starts. He's pitched out of the bullpen since his late-April call-up this season and owns a 3.24 ERA in 8.1 frames despite a 5:5 K:BB. With Jose Suarez shut down for a month due to left shoulder inflammation, Silseth seemingly has a chance to stake a long-term claim for a rotation spot.

Silseth is the top candidate to replace Jose Suarez (shoulder) in the Angels' rotation, Rhett Bollinger of MLB.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
Given that Silseth is the team's top pitching prospect and worked 3.1 innings in long relief after Suarez left his most recent start Saturday, it seems likely that Silseth will indeed enter the rotation this weekend in Cleveland. Silseth, who turns 23 next week, logged a 0.90 ERA, 0.90 WHIP, 20 strikeouts and a 60.9 percent groundball rate in 20 innings through four starts at Triple-A. He has struggled to hold his mid-90s fastball velocity deep into outings, but he is a more legitimate pitching prospect than his career 5.84 ERA in the majors would indicate.

Manager Phil Nevin said Tuesday that Silseth is "certainly going to pitch in some high-leverage situations," Jeff Fletcher of The Orange County Register reports.
EDGE Analysis
The 22-year-old pitched a scoreless seventh inning to earn a hold Sunday against Milwaukee, and Nevin indicated the right-hander could move "even higher" in the late-inning pecking order. The club could move Silseth back to a starting role later in the season and likely still has that in mind long term, but for now it appears he'll work as part of the bridge to closer Carlos Estevez.

Silseth walked two batters but did not allow any hits or runs over two innings against Oakland on Wednesday. He had two strikeouts.
EDGE Analysis
Silseth was called up to the big club Wednesday and made his first MLB appearance of the campaign. The right-hander walked a pair in his first frame but settled down with a 1-2-3 ninth to finish off an Angels rout. Silseth struggled in his first taste of the big leagues last season, posting a 6.59 ERA and 1.57 WHIP over 28.2 frames. However, he dominated with Triple-A Salt Lake to begin 2023, allowing just two earned runs and notching a 20:8 K:BB over 20 innings. Silseth is up with the big club in a relief role but would be a top candidate to move into the rotation should a need arise.
