The Los Angeles Angels optioned left-hander Reid Detmers to Triple-A Salt Lake following Saturday's 9-0 loss to the Seattle Mariners. Detmers allowed five runs on four hits and four walks while striking out three across 3 2/3 innings in Saturday's loss to Seattle. Most of the damage to Detmers came off a grand slam to Mariners shortstop J.P. Crawford. The 24-year-old has struggled this season, posting a 6.14 ERA, 1.48 WHIP, and 70 strikeouts over 63 innings. He has allowed at least five runs in five of his last seven starts. Detmers will look to get back on track in Triple-A and is mainly a stash in deep-league formats.
Los Angeles Angels starting pitcherReid Detmers continued his struggles on Monday night, allowing six runs in four innings pitched with eight hits allowed, three strikeouts, and one walk in a 9-7 win. He did not factor into the decision. Luckily for Detmers, the Angels' offense bailed him out after he departed with a 6-1 deficit. Consistency has been Detmers' biggest issue throughout his career, and that has followed him into the 2024 season. After only allowing four runs in his first five starts in 27 1/3 innings pitched with no home runs allowed, Detmers has followed that up with 32 runs allowed in 31 2/3 innings pitched with nine home runs allowed in six games started. Detmers is now sitting here at the end of May with a putrid 5.80 ERA and 1.42 WHIP. The 24-year-old is still young and has plenty of time to turn things around, but currently is a fantasy streaming option at best in deep-league formats for his next start at home against the Cleveland Guardians.
Los Angeles Angels left-hander Reid Detmers put forth another strong effort on Wednesday in a road start against the Tampa Bay Rays. Detmers worked 5 1/3 innings of one-run ball, and while he yielded seven hits, he also walked just one against four punchouts on the night. With the outing, the 24-year-old improved to a tidy 1.19 ERA and a massive 26.7% K-BB% across his first four starts of the season. Additionally, Detmers has grown his ground-ball rate to 43.8% on the season, a mark well above his 36.6% career mark, aiding him in not allowing a home run through his first 22 2/3 innings in the 2024 campaign.
Los Angeles Angels starter Reid Detmers mowed down the Red Sox in Saturday's 2-1 victory in Anaheim. The lefty went six innings, allowing one run on three hits and one walk while striking out 12 batters on his way to earning the win. Detmers looked good in his first start too, and is now 2-0 with a 1.64 ERA and 19 punchouts in 11 IP. After having a good 2022 in which the lefty threw a no-hitter, his 2023 was underwhelming with a 4.48 ERA and 1.35 WHIP, but it's looking like a bounce-back year so far for the 24-year-old. He won't maintain a sub-2.00 ERA all season, but is worthy of a roster spot at a position that is seemingly growing thinner by the day due to injuries.
Los Angeles Angels left-hander Reid Detmers, who has had a rollercoaster first couple of years in the big leagues, said that he worked to refine his mechanics over the winter and now has a better idea of what he needs to fix when his delivery goes awry. The former first-rounder in 2020, who threw a perfect game in 2022, is aiming for more consistency after going 12-19 with a 4.37 ERA (4.14 FIP) and 1.32 WHIP with 117 walks and 309 strikeouts in 298 1/3 innings over 58 starts in his first three big-league campaigns. Detmers' goal in 2023 was to win 20 games, but he ended up winning just four. With a softer slider now in his arsenal, he was able to finish last year with a 2.41 ERA in his final seven starts, giving hope to fantasy managers that he may actually be able to put it all together in 2024.
