Los Angeles Angels starting pitcher Reid Detmers delivered another solid performance in Monday's 6-2 win over the Twins. Detmers pitched six innings, allowing two runs on five hits (including a solo home run) and two walks with eight strikeouts. The 25-year-old was recalled from Triple-A Salt Lake on September 3 and has allowed four runs in 12 IP with 18 strikeouts in his two starts back. Detmers has shown fantasy promise at times throughout his career but has also been very inconsistent. Fantasy managers may not be willing to trust him, but his next start could be an excellent one against the White Sox. Given the strong matchup and recent performance, he may be worth a fantasy start consideration if he were to make the start.
Los Angeles Angels starting pitcher Reid Detmers is set to be promoted from Triple-A Salt Lake according to Russell Dorsey of Yahoo Sports. Detmers made 12 starts at the major league level this summer but struggled with a 6.14 ERA and a 1.48 WHIP through 63 innings of work. At Triple-A this season, the southpaw has been on an impressive run as he sits with a stellar 1.29 ERA and a 0.86 WHIP across his past three outings. Overall, in 78 frames at Triple-A, the former first-round selection has held a 5.54 ERA and a 1.40 WHIP. Deeper league managers should consider taking a flier on Detmers as he has flashed a high upside at times, but should be careful when deploying him because he has struggled to maintain consistency throughout his professional career.
Los Angeles Angels starting pitcher Reid Detmers tossed a gem in his most recent outing at Triple-A and could be on his way back to the major leagues. In this start, the southpaw logged eight innings of one-run ball while striking out 11 batters. He allowed just three hits and two free passes. This was the third time he hit the double-digit mark in punchouts at Triple-A this summer. Detmers opened the season in the big leagues but was demoted to Salt Lake in June after carrying a 6.14 ERA through the opening months of the campaign. While his production at Triple-A has not been much better, this start is an excellent way for the 25-year-old to build some momentum. For now, he should remain on all waiver wires but could be an interesting stash candidate in deeper leagues if he continues to find his stride at Triple-A.
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.
Reid Detmers Allows Six Runs In Four Innings On Monday
Los Angeles Angels starting pitcher Reid 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.
Los Angeles Angels starting pitcher Reid Detmers is no longer starting Sunday's series finale against the Oakland Athletics. The 24-year-old was slated to take his final turn in the rotation but now it'll be Carson Fulmer serving as an opener, most likely. Detmers had a few moments of brilliance this season but was frustratingly inconsistent overall. He'll finish the 2023 season with an underwhelming 4-10 record, 4.48 ERA, 1.35 WHIP, and 168:60 K/BB ratio over 148 2/3 innings (28 starts). He's still a name to keep an eye on for next year in fantasy due to his strikeout upside.
Los Angeles Angels left-hander Reid Detmers was at the top of his game on Wednesday night against the division-rival Texas Rangers in a 2-0 victory. Detmers tossed 7 1/3 scoreless innings while giving up just one hit, walking four and striking out five to pick up his third win of the season. Not many folks would have expected this dominating of a performance against one of the best offenses in baseball, especially after the 24-year-old southpaw had allowed 14 earned runs over just 6 1/3 innings in his last two starts. The Rangers didn't pick up their first hit until the eighth inning. In his third season with the Halos, Detmers has been highly inconsistent, pitching to a 4.93 ERA (4.25 FIP), 1.36 WHIP, 48 walks and a career-high 136 strikeouts in 115 innings over his 22 starts.
