Shoemaker will be recalled to start Thursday's game against the Tigers, Alden Gonzalez of MLB.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Nick Tropeano was a roster casualty earlier in the week with the team needing to add middle-infield depth, leaving the Angels without a fifth starter this time through the rotation. Shoemaker will draw the assignment Thursday opposite Randy Wolf, but he's struggled throughout the year (4.76 ERA, 1.30 WHIP), and it's no lock he'll remain in the rotation when rosters expand in September.
