Detmers (0-1) took the loss Friday as the Angels fell 5-3 to the Orioles, giving up two runs on three hits and a walk over five innings. He struck out four.

EDGE Analysis

It was a solid effort from the rookie left-hander, who threw 48 of 70 pitches for strikes before exiting, but Detmers left the game with his team down 2-0, and the Halos never found an equalizer. Detmers' 6.57 ERA in three starts looks rough, but his 1.30 WHIP and 12:4 K:BB through 12.1 innings suggest he's been at least a little bit unlucky.

Detmers yielded five runs on six hits and a walk over 3.1 innings in Friday's win over Texas. He struck out five and did not factor in the decision.

EDGE Analysis

Detmers had allowed just one run on an RBI fielder's choice through the first three innings before the wheels fell off in the fourth. He put four consecutive batters on base with one out, including a two-run double by Charlie Culberson, before leaving the game. He was later charged with two more runs that came around to score with Austin Warren on the mound. Detmers now owns a brutal 8.59 ERA with an 8:3 K:BB through 7.1 frames. He's expected to face Baltimore at home next week.

Detmers got a no-decision in a 13-6 loss to the Astros on Friday, allowing two runs on three hits and two walks with three strikeouts in four innings.

EDGE Analysis

Detmers pitched well Friday but was stung by the long ball, allowing both runs on solo shots by Jose Altuve and Aldemys Diaz. Manager Joe Maddon took an understandably conservative approach with the former top prospect and Detmers, who struggled during the 2021 campaign. The 22-year-old is scheduled to face the Rangers for his next start on Friday.

Detmers will start Friday against the Astros, Jeff Fletcher of The Orange County Register reports.

EDGE Analysis

Detmers was originally scheduled to start Tuesday against the Marlins, though he's flipping spots in the rotation with Patrick Sandoval. Detmers got some limited experience in the majors last season, posting a poor 7.40 ERA and 1.79 WHIP across 20.2 innings. However, he had an impressive 43.1 percent strikeout rate across 54 frames at Double-A Rocket City in 2021, which, combined with his prospect pedigree, suggests there is significant room for improvement at the big-league level.

Manager Joe Maddon confirmed Friday that Detmers will begin the regular season as the Angels' sixth starter, Jeff Fletcher of The Orange County Register reports.

EDGE Analysis

Detmers made five starts for the Angels last year, and he'll be rewarded with a rotation spot to begin the 2022 campaign after he allowed two runs on six hits and no walks while striking out 11 in 5.2 innings across two spring starts this year. The 22-year-old had a 42.0 percent strikeout rate in the minors last season and will attempt to translate that success to the big-league level in 2022.

Detmers is likely to open the season as the Angels' sixth starter, Jeff Fletcher of The Orange County Register reports.

EDGE Analysis

The team has reportedly picked its sixth starter but won't announce the winner yet, though indications are that Detmers has beaten Jaime Barria for the job. The 2020 10th-overall pick didn't show all that much in his five-start debut last year, posting a 7.40 ERA and a 6.36 FIP, but that's understandable given that he'd only made 13 starts as a professional prior to earning his first call-up. His 42.0 percent strikeout rate in the minors last season hints at his potential, though just how much of it he'll realize right away this season remains to be seen.

Detmers allowed two runs on three hits and two walks while striking out two across 1.2 innings in the win over the Mariners on Sunday. He did not factor into the decision.

EDGE Analysis

Detmers started the season finale after his previous appearance came back on Aug. 21. He failed to last two innings, and allowed all three of his hits in the second frame. The rookie struggled in his five starts this season, carrying a 7.40 ERA and 1.79 WHIP with 19 strikeouts in 20.2 innings.

The Angels recalled Detmers from Triple-A Salt Lake prior to his start Sunday against the Mariners.

EDGE Analysis

The rookie will look to improve upon his 7.11 ERA and 1.68 WHIP in this final appearance of 2021. Whether he begins next season in the big leagues likely depends on how much the Angels improve their pitching staff this offseason.

Detmers will start Sunday's season finale against the Mariners, Sam Blum of The Athletic reports.

EDGE Analysis

Detmers missed nearly a month after he tested positive for COVID-19, and he was optioned to Triple-A Salt Lake after he was reinstated from the injured list in late September. He allowed one run on four hits and a walk while striking out two in two innings during a Triple-A appearance Monday and is expected to be on a pitch count in his return to the major-league mound Sunday.

Detmers (COVID-19) was reinstated from the injured list and was optioned to Triple-A Salt Lake on Thursday, Sam Blum of The Athletic reports.

EDGE Analysis

Detmers has been sidelined for nearly a month, though he has been able to toss both bullpen sessions and simulated games. He's set to start for Salt Lake on Monday and could return to the majors shortly after to make a final start. In four appearances at the big-league level, Detmers has compiled a 7.11 ERA and 1.68 WHIP across 19 innings this season.
