The Los Angeles are taking a risk moving Reid Detmers out of the bullpen and back into the starting rotation next season. It appeared as if Detmers had found his niche pitching as the team's set-up man last season, and his numbers as a starter were pretty lackluster the two seasons prior. From 2023-2024, Detmers posted a combined 5.30 ERA, 4.35 FIP and 1.43 WHIP in 45 starts.
Detmers' role change is being made more out of desperation than as a reward for his performance in 2025, as the Angels roster just two starters at the moment.
