MLB Tonight: Austin Riley injury | 08/19/2024The MLB Tonight crew discuss Austin Riley's injury and where Atlanta stands as the postseason gets closer
Reid Detmers - Logs impressive minor-league outingIn Detmers' most recent start for Triple-A Salt Lake on Friday, he allowed one run on three hits and two walks over eight innings while striking out 11 batters and earning the win.
ImpactDetmers has been with Salt Lake since early June following a string of poor starts in the majors. His 11-punchout performance Friday was his third double-digit strikeout effort over 12 starts in the minors, and he's racked up an impressive 83 punchouts over 65 innings during that span. On the flip side, Detmers has also posted a 6.37 ERA and 1.48 WHIP, so he hasn't made the strongest case for a return to the majors. The Angels placed starter Jose Soriano on the injured list Saturday due to arm fatigue and will need a replacement for his spot in the rotation, but Hector Gomez of Z101Digital.com reports that veteran hurler Johnny Cueto will get that opportunity rather than Detmers.

ImpactRendon sat out the previous two contests with a sore right elbow as a result of a hit-by-pitch, but he's feeling well enough to give it a go in this one. The veteran third baseman is slashing a dreadful .235/.312/.281 for the Halos this season.
