Silseth will be promoted to start Game 1 of Saturday's doubleheader against the Mariners, J.P. Hoornstra of the Los Angeles Daily News reports.

EDGE Analysis

Silseth was sent to the minors over the weekend but will be able to quickly rejoin the big-league club due to the twin bill. The 22-year-old has started seven games for the Halos in his first taste of the majors this year and has a 6.59 ERA, 1.57 WHIP and 24:12 K:BB across 28.2 innings.

Silseth (1-0) earned the win during Friday's 2-0 victory over Oakland, allowing one hit and two walks with four strikeouts in six scoreless innings.

EDGE Analysis

After posting a 1.73 ERA in 26 innings at Double-A, Silseth was called up to make his debut and impressed during six clean innings. The 21-year-old was able to escape a jam in the third thanks to a double play, and retired the final nine batters he faced. Silseth made a strong bid to remain in the rotation for the foreseeable future and would most likely start next week against Texas if he sticks in the majors.

Silseth's contract was selected as expected ahead of his major-league debut start against the Athletics on Friday.

EDGE Analysis

The Angels have shown a willingness to push their starters very quickly, as Silseth will make his big-league debut less than a year after being drafted 321st overall in the amateur draft. He threw just 5.1 professional innings last season and will get the call after making just five starts for Double-A Rocket City this year, skipping Triple-A entirely. As you might expect for a player selected in the 11th round, Silseth doesn't come with particularly glowing scouting reports, but his 1.73 ERA and 37.4 percent strikeout rate at the Double-A level this season are both excellent marks.

The Angels confirmed Silseth will be promoted from Double-A Rocket City to start Friday's game against the Athletics in Oakland.

EDGE Analysis

Meanwhile, Jhonathan Diaz will be called up from Triple-A Salt Lake to start the first game of Saturday's doubleheader, so a decision on whether he or Silseth serves as the Angels' sixth starter moving forward will likely be determined by the performances of the two pitchers this weekend. Silseth will be making his MLB debut Friday, skipping the Triple-A level entirely after an excellent start to the campaign at Rocket City. Over five starts spanning 26 innings, Silseth submitted a 1.73 ERA, 0.85 WHIP and 37:7 K:BB. The Angels will likely wait until Friday to make his call-up from Double-A official.

The Angels could call Silseth up from the minors to start Friday's game in Oakland after he was scratched from his upcoming outing Thursday at Double-A Rocket City, Sam Blum of The Athletic reports.

EDGE Analysis

Silseth has been a big breakout pitcher in the minors this season, logging a 1.73 ERA, 0.85 WHIP and 37:7 K:BB in 26 innings over five starts at Double-A. He features a good fastball with tail, a curveball and a changeup. Given his dominance in the minors, he could be up for good if he has success right out of the gate.
