Kochanowicz (1-2) earned the victory Sunday, allowing two runs on six hits and one walk over 7.2 innings against the Nationals. He struck out two.
EDGE Analysis
Kochanowicz was recalled from Double-A to make the spot start, holding the Nationals scoreless through seven prior to a homer by Jacob Young to lead off the eighth frame. He remained in the game and recorded two more outs but was pulled following an RBI single by Luis Garcia. Despite the two late runs, Kochanowicz did more than enough to earn his first big-league win and showed massive improvement over his previous two starts, when he allowed 11 earned runs over seven innings. Kochanowicz is likely to be sent back to the minors following this outing, but it was a promising start for the 23-year-old rookie, who lowered his ERA from 14.14 to 7.98.

Kochanowicz will start Sunday's game against the Nationals, Rhett Bollinger of MLB.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
With a rainout forcing the Angels into a doubleheader Wednesday, the team was in need of a starter for Sunday's game and recalled Kochanowicz from Double-A Rocket City. The 23-year-old has made two starts for the Angels this season, surrendering 11 runs across seven frames for a miserable 14.14 ERA. He should be avoided in most fantasy formats.

The Angels recalled Kochanowicz from Double-A Rocket City on Saturday.
EDGE Analysis
Kochanowicz was recalled from Double-A on Wednesday before being optioned back two days later without making an appearance. He'll now rejoin the Angels and will most likely be used as a long relief option out of the bullpen. Jose Marte (illness) was placed on the 15-day injured list in a corresponding move.

The Angels recalled Kochanowicz from Double-A Rocket City on Wednesday, Jeff Fletcher of The Orange County Register reports.
EDGE Analysis
Kochanowicz will serve as the 27th man for Wednesday's doubleheader against the Yankees, giving the Angels an option for long relief. The big right-hander has been walloped for 12 runs (11 earned) over seven innings in his two starts with the big club this season.

The Angels optioned Kochanowicz to Double-A Rocket City on Monday.
EDGE Analysis
Kochanowicz's first stint in the big leagues was not promising, as he was torched for 12 runs (11 earned) over seven innings in his two starts. The big right-hander will return to Rocket City, where he holds a 4.55 ERA and 79:23 K:BB over 91 innings in 2024.

Kochanowicz (0-2) took the loss against the Athletics on Saturday, allowing seven runs on seven hits and three walks with four strikeouts over four innings.
EDGE Analysis
Kochanowicz surrendered a three-run home run to Brent Rooker in the first frame and then four more runs in the fourth. The rookie has yielded 11 earned runs in his first seven major-league innings with five strikeouts and three walks. Should he remain in the rotation, the 23-year-old lines up for a rematch with the Athletics next week.

Kochanowicz will start Saturday's game against the Athletics in Oakland.
EDGE Analysis
The rookie right-hander will be making his second turn through the rotation despite laboring in his MLB debut versus Seattle back on July 11, when he lasted just three innings while surrendering five runs (four earned) on seven hits and no walks. Kochanowicz's spot in the rotation is far from secure over the long haul, so another poor showing in Oakland could put him at risk of a demotion to the minors.

Kochanowicz (0-1) was charged with the loss against the Mariners on Thursday, allowing five runs (four earned) on seven hits over three innings while striking out one.
EDGE Analysis
The 23-year-old got rocked right out of the gate in his major-league debut, allowing four consecutive hits to open the contest while also hitting Luke Raley with a pitch. Kochanowicz would allow four runs in the frame, though only three would be charged to him on account of a fielding error by Luis Guillorme. Kochanowicz then surrendered a leadoff homer to Cal Raleigh in the third, though the right-hander would at least make it through the inning before being relieved by Kenny Rosenberg to begin the fourth. It was an ugly first start for Kochanowicz, and there's no guarantee the rookie will remain in the rotation coming out of the All-Star break.

The Angels recalled Kochanowicz from Double-A Rocket City on Thursday ahead of his start versus the Mariners.
EDGE Analysis
Kochanowicz will be making his MLB debut Thursday after posting a 1.85 ERA and 0.94 WHIP across 34 innings during his last five Double-A starts. Davis Daniel was optioned to Triple-A on Wednesday, so the fifth spot in the Angels' rotation currently belongs to Kochanowicz, but the 23-year-old right-hander may be sent back to the minor leagues if he begins to struggle against MLB hitters. In order to free up a spot on the active roster, the Angels optioned Jose Marte to Triple-A.
