Reid Detmers Fantasy Stats

The Chicago Cubs and Chicago White Sox have each shown interest in trading for Los Angeles Angels left-hander Reid Detmers, multiple sources told Russell Dorsey of Yahoo Sports. Detmers has generated plenty of interest around the league as the Aug. 3 trade deadline approaches, and both the Cubs and White Sox need pitching as they look to finish the second half strong. The 27-year-old southpaw is currently 3-7 on the season with a 4.05 ERA (3.28 FIP) and 1.10 WHIP with 136 strikeouts and 37 walks in 120 innings across his 21 starts in his sixth year in the major leagues with the Halos. He has two more years of club control, making him one of the few available starting pitchers with that distinction, and would definitely fit the White Sox's young core as they seek to win the American League Central in 2026. The Cubs, meanwhile, have had an extremely banged-up starting rotation for most of the season. Detmers' teammate, right-hander Jose Soriano, should attract plenty of attention at this year's deadline as well if the Angels are serious about selling and rebuilding.

The New York Post's Jon Heyman reports that the Los Angeles Angels are expected to make both right-hander Jose Soriano and left-hander Reid Detmers available at this year's trade deadline in early August. Soriano allowed just one earned run in his first six starts of the season, but he's come down to Earth since, posting a 5.15 ERA, 1.53 WHIP, and 72:40 K:BB in 73 1/3 innings over his last 14 starts. The 27-year-old Dominican is 8-6 overall with a 3.49 ERA (3.97 FIP), 1.29 WHIP, and 115:53 K:BB in 111 innings over 20 starts. Soriano leads the league with 53 walks in his fourth year in the majors in Anaheim. Detmer, meanwhile, has had a solid return to a starting role in 2026 after being demoted to the bullpen last year. The 27-year-old southpaw is 3-6 with a 4.16 ERA (3.21 FIP), 1.12 WHIP, and 130:35 K:BB in 114 2/3 frames across 20 starts. Both hurlers should attract plenty of interest on the trade market as the deadline approaches, and both of them could have a higher fantasy ceiling down the stretch with contenders.

Across 114 2/3 innings (20 starts) so far this season, Los Angeles Angels starting pitcher Reid Detmers has recorded a 3-6 record with a 4.16 ERA, 1.12 WHIP, and 130 strikeouts. The 27-year-old owns excellent underlying metrics, as he's logged a 27.4% strikeout rate with just a 7.4% walk rate. Detmers' xERA (3.38) and FIP (3.21) both suggest that he's been a bit unlucky in his results in 2026. The main issue for the left-hander has been his 66% strand rate, which is below the MLB average of 72%. If Detmers can do a little better job of navigating traffic on the bases in the second half of the season, his ERA may match up with his already stellar WHIP and strikeout rates. With just a few minor tweaks to his profile, Detmers could be in line for a second-half breakout.

Los Angeles Angels left-handed pitcher Reid Detmers has become a strong waiver-wire option for fantasy managers seeking strikeouts. The 26-year-old enters the week with a 2-5 record, 4.00 ERA, 1.05 WHIP, and 97 strikeouts over 81 innings. While his win-loss record and season-long ERA don't fully reflect his recent work, Detmers has posted a 1.73 ERA, 0.54 WHIP, and 36:5 K:BB across his last four starts. That stretch includes 14 strikeouts over eight innings against the Texas Rangers, six scoreless innings against the Los Angeles Dodgers, and seven innings of one-run ball with nine strikeouts against the Houston Astros. The Angels may limit his win upside, but the strikeout volume and recent ratio improvements are strong enough to matter in most formats. With his roster rate already up to 64% on Yahoo, Detmers may not be sitting on every waiver wire, but fantasy managers should move quickly in any league where he remains available.

Across 74 innings (13 starts) in 2026, Los Angeles Angels starting pitcher Reid Detmers owns a 2-5 record with a 4.26 ERA, 1.14 WHIP, and 88 strikeouts. The left-hander has a rough outing in mid-May against the Athletics, allowing eight earned runs in 5 2/3 innings of work. However, Detmers has been red-hot since then, allowing just four earned runs while striking out 27 across 19 innings (three starts). With a 2.92 xERA and a 2.92 FIP, Detmers' underlying metrics reflect that his ERA is inflated by a couple of blow-up starts. He also owns an excellent 28.5% strikeout rate and has done a solid job of limiting both walks (7.8% walk rate) and home runs (0.73 HR/9). In any fantasy league where he's not already rostered, Detmers profiles as a high-upside starting pitcher option who should be a priority waiver wire target for managers.

Across 68 innings (12 starts) so far this season, Los Angeles Angels starting pitcher Reid Detmers has recorded a 2-5 record with a 4.63 ERA, 1.18 WHIP, and 82 strikeouts. While Detmers' inflated ERA is tough to swallow for fantasy managers, a look under the hood at his numbers suggests the 26-year-old may be on the verge of a breakout. Detmers currently owns excellent strikeout (28.5%) and K-BB (20.8%) rates, which are reflected in his 2.96 FIP. The left-hander has been victimized by a brutal 60.9% strand rate, well below his career mark of 69.2%. Detmers is already providing value in the WHIP and strikeout categories for fantasy managers. If his ERA falls in line with his underlying metrics over the course of a larger sample size of innings, Detmers could wind up as one of the waiver-wire steals of the summer for fantasy managers.

Los Angeles Angels left-hander Reid Detmers had his swing-and-miss stuff working to perfection on Sunday night against the division-rival Texas Rangers in what was a very impressive bounce-back outing. Detmers settled for a no-decision, but fantasy managers who rolled the dice on him to close out the week were handsomely rewarded, as the 26-year-old southpaw allowed only one earned run on a solo home run by Jake Burger while walking none and striking out a season-high 14 batters in a season-high eight innings of work to lower his season ERA to 4.57. The Angels won the game 2-1 at home, but Detmers did not factor into the decision. Still, it was a nice bounce-back outing after he surrendered a season-high eight earned runs on eight hits while walking two and striking out eight in 5 2/3 innings on May 19 in his last time out against the Athletics. Detmers is only 1-5 on the year, but he has 75 strikeouts and 19 walks in 63 innings across his 11 starts. He has fanned at least six batters in four of his last five starts and also has two nine-K performances in 2026. Detmers is only rostered in 33% of Yahoo leagues and is worth a look off the waiver wire if you need strikeouts.

Los Angeles Angels starting pitcher Reid Detmers allowed eight runs on Tuesday, but he's still a potential waiver wire addition given his consistent ability to generate strikeouts. Detmers' ERA jumped to 5.07 in the loss, but his 3.25 xERA and 3.10 FIP both suggest that he could be due for some favorable regression going forward. We already know he's capable of racking up strikeouts, as he posted 11.31 K/9 last year and is sitting at 9.98 K/9 across 10 starts so far in 2026. He limits walks and home runs, too. Detmers' ugly 1-5 record is a reflection of the Angels' struggles this year, and fantasy managers should feel comfortable adding him off the waiver wire based on his expected metrics and strikeout rate. He's available in 71% of leagues, and he ranks as the #72 starting pitcher in RotoBaller's latest fantasy baseball rankings.

Los Angeles Angels left-hander Reid Detmers is coming off a quality start in his last outing in a win over the New York Mets on May 2 and deserves some attention off the waiver wire from fantasy managers looking for a boost in strikeouts. The 26-year-old southpaw is 1-2 on the season with a 4.28 ERA (2.81 FIP) and 1.15 WHIP with 44 strikeouts and only nine walks in 40 innings pitched over his seven starts. He was cruising through six innings in his last outing against the Mets before allowing two runs and leaving with the bases loaded. Still, he threw 68 of his 95 pitches for strikes and induced 16 swings and misses. Detmers has the swing-and-miss stuff to be successful if he can command the baseball as he has so far in 2026. He has gone into the seventh inning in four of his seven outings as well, providing plenty of length for fantasy managers. You should certainly consider at least streaming him in his next scheduled outing this weekend versus the Toronto Blue Jays, a team with a .690 OPS, which ranks 25th in baseball.

Los Angeles Angels left-hander Reid Detmers has looked sharper after a rough start, posting a 3.75 ERA across four April starts. Detmers has completed six innings in three of his last four outings and is beginning to show the consistency the Angels need from their rotation. The 26-year-old is in his sixth MLB season and has moved back into a starting role after working out of the bullpen in 2025. He posted a 3.96 ERA in 61 appearances last season and appears more comfortable with each turn through the rotation. If this trend continues, Detmers could become one of the stronger waiver wire pitching targets as the season progresses.
