Mayers appears to be transitioning into a starter with Triple-A Salt Lake, Sam Blum of The Athletic reports.

EDGE Analysis

Mayers has started each of the three games in which he has pitched since returning to the minors after being designated for assignment by the Angels on May 26. The right-hander has struggled in that role so far, allowing nine runs and posting an 8:8 K:BB over just 7.2 innings through the three starts. Mayers worked out of the bullpen in each of his 15 games with the big-league club before his demotion, compiling a 5.40 ERA and 1.44 WHIP over 16.2 innings.

Mayers cleared waivers and accepted an outright assignment to Triple-A Salt Lake on Thursday, Sam Blum of The Athletic reports.

EDGE Analysis

Mayers was designated for assignment on May 26, but he'll remain in the organization. He struggled to a 5.40 ERA and 1.44 WHIP across 16.2 innings to begin the campaign, though it's possible he rejoins the big-league club at some point in the coming months.

Mayers was designated for assignment by the Angels on Thursday.

EDGE Analysis

Mayers made the Angels' Opening Day roster this season, and he earned a win and a hold while posting a 5.40 ERA and 1.44 WHIP in 16.2 innings over 15 relief appearances to begin the year. However, he'll lose his spot on the 40-man roster after Juan Lagares' contract was selected by the Angels on Thursday.

Mayers (1-0) earned the win Sunday in relief against Texas after pitching a scoreless outing, allowing one walk across two-thirds of an inning.

EDGE Analysis

Mayers had been struggling badly to begin the season and gave up five earned runs and three hits while posting a 2:2 K:BB through his first two outings (0.2 innings), but he managed to bounce back here en route to his first win of the campaign. The outing wasn't a dominant one by any means and the command issues are still persistent, as evidenced by his 0:3 K:BB and the fact that he only tossed three of his 10 pitches for strikes, but at least he got the job done when called upon in this one. His fantasy upside remains minimal, though.

Mayers signed a one-year, $2.15 million contract with the Angels on Tuesday, Jeff Fletcher of The Orange County Register reports.

EDGE Analysis

The deal means Mayers will get to avoid arbitration in his second season of eligibility. The 30-year-old righty is coming off a season in which he posted a 3.84 over a career-high 75 innings.

Mayers (5-5) earned the win over the White Sox on Wednesday, striking out the side in his lone inning of work.

EDGE Analysis

The right-hander took over in the seventh inning with the score tied 2-2. He needed 16 pitches to strike out all three batters he faced, and Mayers picked up the win as a result of Brandon Marsh's homer in the top of the following frame. Mayers has struck out 82 batters in 66.1 innings this season while notching a career-high 15 holds and two saves.

Mayers (4-5) took the loss against San Diego on Wednesday, pitching 1.2 innings and allowing two runs on three hits and one walk while striking out one.

EDGE Analysis

The right-hander was selected to open the Angels' bullpen game, and he made it through the first inning without incident. However, the Padres drove Mayers from the contest in the second, converting a walk and a double into a run before pummeling a pair of subsequent relievers for seven additional runs. Mayers has pitched to a 4.34 ERA and 77:21 K:BB across 64.1 innings this season. He's struggled of late, posting a 7.36 ERA over his past six outings.

Mayers will start Wednesday's game against the Padres, Rhett Bollinger of MLB.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Manager Joe Maddon will employ a bullpen game in the series finale at San Diego, and Mayers will be the first reliever to take the mound. He has a 4.16 ERA, 1.34 WHIP and 76:20 K:BB across 62.2 innings this season and figures to pitch one or two frames Wednesday.

Mayers allowed two runs on three hits while striking out a batter over two innings of work Monday against the Yankees. He did not factor into the decision.

EDGE Analysis

Mayers started Monday's game and opened it up by allowing back-to-back doubles and a single. Fortunately, he was able to limit the damage by inducing a double play but still went down into an early 2-0 hole. He would end up tossing a 1-2-3 second inning and his day was over after 29 pitches. The 29-year-old righty owns a 4.23 ERA, 1.36 WHIP and 75:20 K:BB over 61.2 innings.

Mayers will start Monday's game against the Yankees, Sam Blum of The Athletic reports.

EDGE Analysis

Mayers last pitched Friday and will make his first start of the season for the Angels in what is likely to be a bullpen game. The right-hander hasn't pitched more that two frames in an appearance this season, and that's unlikely to change while starting Monday's contest. He has a 4.07 ERA, 1.36 WHIP and 74:20 K:BB over 59.2 innings this season.
