Lands on IL The Angels placed Loup on the 15-day injured list Friday with a left shoulder strain, Jeff Fletcher of The Orange County Register reports.

Notches first save Loup picked up the save Tuesday against the Tigers, striking out two in a scoreless inning.
Impact Loup was called upon to protect a one-run lead in the 10th inning after the Tigers tied the game against Carlos Estevez in the ninth. Loup got Javier Baez to ground out before striking out the next two batters, stranding the free runner at second and securing his first save of the season. The 35-year-old Loup's now delivered five straight scoreless appearances (four innings), lowering his ERA to 4.71 with a 1.50 WHIP and 28:11 K:BB across 28.2 innings this year. The left-hander will most likely work in middle-relief for the Halos going forward.

Nearing return Loup (hamstring) is expected to face hitters Monday and could embark upon a rehab assignment soon thereafter, Sam Blum of The Athletic reports.
Impact On Friday, Loup threw his fourth bullpen since hitting the IL, and his session coming up Monday is likely to be a simulated game, per MLB.com. It's not certain that he'll need a rehab stint, but if he does it should be a short one given that the veteran reliever is less than three weeks removed from his last game appearance. Loup struggled with a 7.00 ERA and 2.11 WHIP through 11 outings prior to the injury; he attributes the poor numbers to throwing more breaking balls and plans to increase his fastball usage upon his return, per Jeff Fletcher of The Orange County Register.

Logs first save Loup saved Saturday's 2-1 win against the Mariners, striking out one in a perfect ninth inning.
Impact With Jimmy Herget and Jose Quijada struggling in September and Ryan Tepera working Friday, manager Phil Nevin turned to Loup to close out Saturday's one-run win. The 34-year-old retired the heart of Seattle's lineup in order on 12 pitches, though he did allow hard contact in the form of two lineouts. Loup holds a 3.96 ERA and 1.30 WHIP on the season but has been better recently with a 2.25 ERA in 16 innings across 16 appearances since the calendar flipped to August. Look for Loup and Tepera to lead Los Angeles' closer committee to finish the campaign, at least until one of them falters.

Tagged with loss Thursday Loup (0-3) took the loss against Houston on Thursday, allowing an unearned run on one hit in the 10th inning.
Impact Loup came on in the 10th inning and gave up a one-out single to Jeremy Pena that allowed the automatic runner to score, but he got out of the frame without absorbing any additional damage. However, the Angels were unable to respond in the bottom of the frame, saddling the veteran reliever with the tough-luck loss. Loup had a perfect 6-0 record with the Mets last season, but he's dropped all three of his decisions so far in 2022.
