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.

Detmers (COVID-19) threw 53 pitches over three innings in a simulated game Wednesday, per MLB.com.

EDGE Analysis

The rookie previously tossed a sim game last Saturday and appears to be on the brink of returning to the active roster. He hasn't pitched in a game in over a month, so he'll likely be limited to a bullpen role for the remainder of the campaign. Detmers could be capped at around 50 pitches upon his return.

Angels manager Joe Maddon suggested Saturday that Detmers (illness) could be activated from the COVID-19 injured list at some point during next weekend's series with the Mariners, Jeff Fletcher of The Orange County Register reports.

EDGE Analysis

After completing a 40-pitch simulated game earlier this weekend, Detmers is expected to toss one more sim game in the next day or two before getting the green light to rejoin the Angels. On the shelf since Aug. 25 following his positive COVID-19 test, Detmers has taken longer than anticipated to build up upon completing his quarantine period, but given his workload in his most recent sim game, the Angels look to be preparing him for a starting role upon his return. In his first four big-league starts before being shut down, Detmers went 1-3 with a 7.11 ERA and 1.68 WHIP while striking out 17 over 19 frames.

Manager Joe Maddon said he expects Detmers (illness) to be activated from the COVID-19 injured list for the Sept. 25 game against Seattle, Sam Blum of The Athletic reports.

EDGE Analysis

Detmers tested positive for COVID-19 in late August and has been throwing bullpen sessions since rejoining the team Sept. 5, and he's taking some time to build back up before returning to the mound for the Angels. The 22-year-old has struggled in his first taste of the majors this year with a 7.11 ERA, 1.68 WHIP and 17:9 K:BB across 19 innings.

Detmers (COVID-19) threw a bullpen session in San Diego on Wednesday, MLB.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Detmers recently confirmed that his placement on the injured list in late August was due to a positive COVID-19 test, but the rookie appears to have recovered and will now build up with an eye toward a return. He isn't stretched out to start, however, and could move to a relief role given that he'll almost certainly be on a limited pitch count upon rejoining the big club.

Detmers (COVID-19) rejoined the Angels in Anaheim on Friday, per Sam Blum of The Athletic, but it remains unclear when he will be ready to be activated, Jack Harris of the Los Angeles Times reports.

EDGE Analysis

Detmers confirmed that he recently tested positive for COVID-19 and was placed in "hard quarantine." The rookie last pitched in a big-league game Aug. 21, so it may take some time for him to ramp back up into game shape. If he can stretch out relatively quickly, Detmers could potentially reclaim his spot in the rotation upon his return.

The Angels placed Detmers on the injured list Wednesday for undisclosed reasons.

EDGE Analysis

Such transactions with no injury designations often prove to be COVID-related, but it's unclear if that's the case with Detmers. An explanation for the rookie's going on the IL should become available within the next couple days, at which point an estimation of his return date will be possible.

Detmers (1-3) allowed three runs on seven hits and three walks while striking out four over 3.2 innings as he took the loss versus Cleveland on Saturday.

EDGE Analysis

While the southpaw did little to help his own cause, the Angels mustered only four baserunners in the contest to support him. Detmers' biggest mistake was a three-run blast by Jose Ramirez in the third inning. The Angels' first-round pick from 2020 has struggled to a 7.11 ERA, 1.68 WHIP and 17:9 K:BB across his first 19 big-league innings. He's projected for a tough home matchup versus San Diego next weekend.

Detmers (1-2) earned the win Sunday against the Astros after tossing six innings of one-run ball, allowing three hits and two walks while striking out six.

EDGE Analysis

The rookie had a rough start to his MLB career after allowing 11 earned runs across his first 9.1 innings, but he was able to deliver an improved showing in this one and that earned him his first big-league win as a result. It was also the first time Detmers pitched at least six innings, and he also posted the first quality of his MLB career. Last but not least, the six strikeouts represented a season-high mark for him.

Detmers (0-2) allowed five earned runs on seven hits and two walks while striking out five across five innings, taking the loss to the Dodgers on Sunday.

EDGE Analysis

Detmers took his second loss in his second career start. He surrendered five runs, including a two-run homer by Albert Pujols in the second inning. The rookie has had a rough start to his MLB career, allowing 11 earned runs in his first 9.1 innings. However, he was able to improve on his first outing by tallying five punchouts Sunday.
