Detmers (0-1) allowed six earned runs on six hits and two walks while striking out two across 4.1 innings, taking the loss to the Athletics on Sunday.

EDGE Analysis

Detmers made it through his first two innings with the Angels without giving up a run before allowing a five-run fifth inning. He surrendered a pair of home runs to Matt Olson and Yan Gomes. The 22-year-old had a 3.15 ERA and 106 strikeouts in 60 innings between two minor league teams. It is unknown whether he will have a long-term spot in the starting rotation.

The Angels selected Detmers' contract from Triple-A Salt Lake ahead of his scheduled start Sunday against the Athletics.

EDGE Analysis

Los Angeles optioned reliever James Hoyt to Triple-A to clear room on the active roster for Detmers, who is making his MLB debut Sunday. The 22-year-old lefty has been electric between stops at Triple-A and Double-A Rocket City this season, posting a 3.15 ERA and 1.10 WHIP while punching out 106 over 60 innings. The sky-high 15.9 K/9 rate in particular should make Detmers an interesting speculative pickup in fantasy leagues. The Angels haven't determined how long Detmers will stick with the big club, but he should have a window to make more than one turn through the rotation with starters Alex Cobb (wrist) and Shohei Ohtani (thumb) tending to injuries and with Andrew Heaney now plying his trade with the Yankees.

Detmers will make his major-league debut Sunday against the Athletics.

EDGE Analysis

Detmers advanced to Triple-A Salt Lake on Saturday and struck out nine in six scoreless frames during his lone appearance with the club. He'll serve as a starter after Alex Cobb (wrist) was placed on the injured list and Shohei Ohtani (thumb) was pushed back to start Monday, but whether Detmers remains in the big-league rotation could depend on his results Sunday.

Detmers made his first start for Triple-A Salt Lake on Saturday, throwing six scoreless innings during which he struck out nine batters.

EDGE Analysis

The move up to the highest level of the minors didn't phase the left-hander, as he blanked Las Vegas across six frames while allowing only three hits. Detmers' nine punchouts upped his season total to 106, second only to Yankees prospect Glenn Otto across the minors. Detmers has enjoyed an impressive July, posting a 1.42 ERA and 30:4 K:BB over 19 frames.

Detmers will be promoted to Triple-A Salt Lake on Thursday, Sam Blum of The Athletic reports.

EDGE Analysis

Detmers is one of the Angels' top prospects, and he's been effective at Double-A Rocket City to begin the year. He has a stellar 16.17 K/9 and has posted a 3.50 ERA and 1.17 WHIP in 54 innings across 12 starts. It's not yet clear whether the 22-year-old could be in consideration for a major-league roster spot at some point in 2021, but he'll get a chance to prove himself against a higher level of competition going forward.

Detmers tossed six innings for Double-A Rocket City on Saturday, allowing five runs on seven hits and one walk while striking out 16.

EDGE Analysis

Detmers' outing wasn't without flaws -- he gave up three homers and five earned runs -- but the 21-year-old flashed his impressive strikeout ability by fanning 16 batters over six frames. He has struck out a total of 30 batters over his past two starts covering 12 innings and has registered a massive 16.7 K/9 on the season.

Detmers struck out a career-high 14 while allowing two runs on three hits and two walks over six innings in his start Sunday for Double-A Rocket City.

EDGE Analysis

Detmers' best start of the season was highlighted by an immaculate first inning, during which he struck out the side on nine pitches. Through eight starts at Double-A, the 21-year-old lefty already has three double-digit strikeout efforts on his ledger, despite not covering more than six innings in any of his outings.

Detmers will begin his minor-league career with the Double-A Rocket City Trash Pandas, Fabian Ardaya of The Athletic reports.

EDGE Analysis

Detmers was the Angels' first-round pick in the 2020 first-year player draft but wasn't able to log any professional innings last season due to the cancellation of the minor-league season. He was thought to be in contention for a big-league bullpen role coming out of spring training, but the decision was ultimately made to have him start the season at Double-A. The left-hander was originally scheduled to make his pro debut Tuesday, but a weather-related postponement means that he will instead start Wednesday.

Detmers was reassigned to minor-league camp Wednesday.

EDGE Analysis

The 2020 first-round was in consideration for a spot in the bullpen for Opening Day, but it's not much of a surprise to see him sent down considering he's yet to make a professional appearance at any level. Detmers could very well make his major-league debut this season, but he'll have to start the campaign in the minors.

Detmers is being considered for an Opening Day bullpen spot, Fabian Ardaya of The Athletic reports.

EDGE Analysis

It would be something of a surprise if Detmers did indeed break camp with the big-league team, as last year's canceled minor-league season prevented him from making his professional debut at any level after being selected 10th overall in the draft. He was an advanced college pitcher who was already reportedly under consideration to make his major-league debut last year, however, so there's seemingly a very real chance he debuts at some point this season, even if it's not on Opening Day.
