McGuire (0-2) allowed three runs on three hits and one walk while striking out one as he recorded one out and picked up the loss Sunday against Cleveland.

EDGE Analysis

McGuire was removed from the game after retiring just one batter on 25 pitches. He surrendered a three-run homer to Jose Ramirez prior to exiting his outing. McGuire's spot start certainly didn't go as planned, as the Angels were hopeful he'd eat up some innings with Tyler Skaggs (hip) on the shelf. Following McGuire's brief start, he figures to head to the bullpen or the minor leagues with Skaggs expected to return next time through the rotation.

The Angels recalled McGuire from Triple-A Salt Lake ahead of his scheduled start Sunday against the Indians, Jeff Fletcher of The Orange County Register reports.

EDGE Analysis

McGuire will pick up his fourth start of the season in the majors after the Angels required a replacement in the rotation for the injured Tyler Skaggs (hip). Skaggs, who was placed on the 10-day disabled list Saturday, said he only expects to miss one start due to the left adductor strain, so McGuire could transition to a bullpen role or head back to the minors after taking the hill Sunday. Over his 25 innings in the big leagues in 2018, McGuire has surrendered 17 earned runs on 25 hits -- including eight home runs -- and 15 walks.

McGuire is likely to be called up Sunday to make a spot start in Cleveland in place of Tyler Skaggs (adductor), Jeff Fletcher of The Orange County Register reports.

EDGE Analysis

Skaggs is only expected to miss one start, so McGuire will likely not be up long. The 29-year-old has a 6.12 ERA in 25 major-league innings this season, leaving little reason to believe he'll be a capable fantasy fill-in.

McGuire was optioned to Triple-A Salt Lake on Monday.

EDGE Analysis

McGuire and Oliver Drake were cast off the active roster in order to make room for Albert Pujols (knee) and Jaime Barria. Across seven appearances with the Angels this year, McGuire has logged a 5.94 ERA and 1.56 WHIP over 16.2 innings. He will likely return to the rotation at the Triple-A level in order to keep him available as a option if Los Angeles requires a spot starter in the future.

McGuire covered 1.1 scoreless innings in relief Sunday in the Angels' 14-5 win over the Astros. He gave up one hit and two walks in the 35-pitch appearance.

EDGE Analysis

McGuire's previous appearance came July 15 against the Dodgers, when he started a bullpen game for the Angels in the two sides' final game before the All-Star break. With the Angels welcoming back Nick Tropeano (shoulder) from the 10-day disabled list Saturday, McGuire was bumped from the rotation and looks set to stick around in a long-relief role with the big club for the time being.

McGuire allowed three earned runs on four hits and two walks while striking out two across three innings Sunday against the Dodgers. He did not factor into the decision.

EDGE Analysis

The Dodgers did their damage against McGuire in the second inning, led by a solo home run by Yasmani Grandal. McGuire has struggled mightily in three starts this season, allowing 11 earned runs across 10.1 innings and he now has a 6.46 ERA and 1.56 WHIP through 23.2 innings.

McGuire will start for the Angels on Sunday, Fabian Ardaya of The Athletic Los Angeles reports.

EDGE Analysis

McGuire returned to the big-league roster Wednesday and will toe the rubber for Sunday's clash with the Dodgers, the final contest before the All-Star break. He's recorded a 6.10 ERA in nine appearances (two starts) combined with the Halos and Blue Jays in 2018.

McGuire will be promoted from Triple-A Salt Lake to the big leagues Wednesday, Jeff Fletcher of The Orange County Register reports.

EDGE Analysis

McGuire was optioned to the minors Tuesday, but he's set to return to Los Angeles nearly 24 hours later. He's made eight appearances (two starts) in the big leagues this season, accruing a 6.41 ERA and 1.47 WHIP with an 18:10 K:BB over 19.2 innings.

McGuire was optioned to Triple-A Salt Lake on Tuesday.

EDGE Analysis

He fanned six in three innings in his start against the Dodgers over the weekend, but the Angels don't need him in the rotation before the All-Star break, so he was sent down. Michael Hermosillo was recalled in a corresponding move.

McGuire was called back up from Triple-A Salt Lake on Wednesday, Fabian Ardaya of The Athletic reports.

EDGE Analysis

Jeff Fletcher of the Southern California News Group reported that the Angels' starter for Thursday's game is now TBA, which could imply that Tyler Skaggs -- who was scheduled to take the mound -- will no longer be able to pitch. If that's the case and he's forced to miss an extended period of time, McGuire will likely rejoin the rotation after making a spot start against the Orioles on Sunday.
