Atlanta optioned Daniel to Triple-A Gwinnett on Wednesday.

EDGE Analysis

The transaction comes one day after Daniel was knocked around for five runs on seven hits and four walks over five innings in a loss to the Giants. Atlanta called up right-hander Hunter Stratton from Triple-A to provide a fresh arm in the bullpen for Wednesday's series finale with San Francisco, but it's not yet clear who will replace Daniel in the rotation.

Daniel (0-1) took the loss Tuesday against the Giants, allowing five runs on seven hits and four walks in five innings. He struck out three.

EDGE Analysis

The Giants hit Daniel hard in the second inning, plating four runs and getting six batters to reach base during the frame. The 28-year-old right-hander was still able to eat five innings for Atlanta's injury-plagued rotation, and he at least appears to be stretched out for a traditional starter's workload after throwing 92 pitches in third outing of the season Tuesday. Daniels owns a dicey 5.40 ERA, 1.60 WHIP and 9:7 K:BB through his first 10 frames, and his next turn tentatively lines up for next week in Kansas City against the Royals.

Daniel is slated to start Tuesday's game against the Giants in Atlanta, Mark Bowman of MLB.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Daniel will be making his second straight turn through the Atlanta rotation after he was called up from Triple-A Gwinnett on July 13 to start the big club's final game before the All-Star break. Though he took a no-decision and was limited to just 73 pitches in Atlanta's 5-4 loss to St. Louis, Daniel performed well in the start, striking out five while yielding one earned run on two hits and three walks in four innings. Daniel should be operating with fewer restrictions with his pitch count Tuesday and could stake a more permanent claim to a rotation spot with a strong showing against the Giants.

Daniel did not factor in the decision during Sunday's loss to St. Louis. He allowed a run on two hits and three walks over four innings while striking out five.

EDGE Analysis

Daniel was promoted from Triple-A Gwinnett to make his first MLB appearance since April 27. He ran into some trouble in the first two frames and coughed up a run in the second inning before retiring seven of the last eight batters he faced. Daniel has posted a 3.27 ERA over 71.2 innings at the Triple-A level this season. As of now, it's unclear if he'll stick around with Atlanta after the All-Star break. There may be room for Daniel to carve out a role as the team deals with a banged-up rotation, including injuries to Chris Sale (ribs) and Spencer Schwellenbach (elbow).

Atlanta recalled Daniel from Triple-A Gwinnett on Sunday.

EDGE Analysis

Daniel was recently placed on Gwinnett's temporary inactive list earlier this week for the birth of his child, but he's ready to return to action and will end up joining the big club for the second time this season, and the right-hander will start Sunday in St. Louis. Atlanta has a pair of open spots in its rotation, so with a respectable showing, Daniel could begin the second half in a starting role. Over 14 appearances (13 starts) at Gwinnett this season, Daniel owns a 3.27 ERA, 1.21 WHIP and 59:31 K:BB across 71.2 innings.

Atlanta optioned Daniel to Triple-A Gwinnett on Monday.

EDGE Analysis

Daniel's stay with the big club lasted just one day, with the right-hander tossing a scoreless inning out of the bullpen in Sunday's 6-4 loss to Arizona following his call-up from Triple-A. He'll likely slot back into the rotation with Gwinnett.

EDGE Analysis

Daniel takes the spot on the 26-man roster created when Jesse Chavez was designated for assignment. Daniel has started three games at Triple-A this season, going 0-2 with a 4.63 ERA, 1.34 WHIP and 9:6 K:BB across 11.2 innings. The 27-year-old right-hander will likely serve as a long-relief option, though he could make a spot start or two while Spencer Strider (hamstring) is on the 15-day injured list.

Atlanta optioned Daniel to Triple-A Gwinnett on Wednesday.

EDGE Analysis

After finishing the 2024 Triple-A season with a 5.42 ERA and 1.46 WHIP, Daniel was traded from the Angels to Atlanta in December. He was able to get through two scoreless innings during his lone spring appearance, but Atlanta will likely need to see more from him in the minors before giving him a chance in its starting rotation.

Atlanta acquired Daniel from the Angels on Friday in exchange for Mitch Farris.

EDGE Analysis

Daniel had been designated for assignment by the Angels but will now join Atlanta's 40-man roster. The 27-year-old posted a 6.23 ERA and 28:6 K:BB over 30.1 innings in 2024 and will likely begin 2025 in the Triple-A Gwinnett rotation.

The Angels designated Daniel for assignment Wednesday.

EDGE Analysis

The move frees up a spot on the 40-man roster for Chuckie Robinson, who was acquired in a trade Wednesday. Daniel, 27, made six starts for the Angels in 2024, posting a 6.23 ERA and 28:6 K:BB over 30.1 innings. He has a solid 25.8 percent strikeout rate in the minors, so it's possible Daniel will draw interest via trade or waivers.
