CHASE SILSETH NEWS

Angels News: Chase Silseth's Injury and Return-A Look at His 2025 Season Angels’ pitching prospect Chase Silseth undergoes elbow surgery, but hopes are high for his return in 2025.

AUGUST 27 • KANSASCITY.COM

Out for rest of season Silseth underwent season-ending surgery on his right elbow Tuesday, Jeff Fletcher of The Orange County Register reports.

Impact The specifics of Silseth's operation are unknown, but he didn't receive Tommy John surgery and is expected to be fully recovered by the time spring training begins. The 24-year-old righty allowed six earned runs in eight innings over two big-league starts this year, and he'll finish with a 6.35 ERA through 28.1 frames in Triple-A.

Goes on Triple-A IL Triple-A Salt Lake placed Silseth (elbow) on its 7-day injured list Wednesday.

Impact After being reinstated from the Angels' 60-day injured list and optioned to Triple-A on June 25 following a prolonged absence due to right elbow inflammation, Silseth turned in a 3.38 ERA, 1.31 WHIP and 7:7 K:BB over 16 innings across four outings with Salt Lake before succumbing to another setback with the elbow. The Angels had labeled Silseth's injury as discomfort coming out of his most recent start for Salt Lake on July 28, but a formal diagnosis for his injury hasn't been provided. In any case, Silseth doesn't look like he'll be back pitching for Salt Lake anytime soon, which will hurt his chances of building a case for a return to the big leagues.

Still dealing with elbow issue Silseth continues to be bothered by discomfort in his elbow, per the Associated Press.

Impact Silseth was pulled from his most recent start in Triple-A after 2.1 scoreless innings, and Jeff Fletcher of The Orange County Register notes that the right-hander "is getting checked out." Silseth was expected to be part of the Angels' rotation at the outset of the season but made just two starts -- and gave up seven runs over eight frames -- before landing on the IL due to inflammation in his pitching elbow. The hurler was activated in late June and was subsequently sent to Triple-A, where we had been pitching up until the elbow issue resurfaced.

Moving out of Triple-A rotation Silseth was removed from Triple-A Salt Lake's rotation after giving up six runs (five earned) on 10 hits and two walks while striking out one batter over 5.2 innings in his most re...

Impact Silseth won the Angels' No. 5 starter job coming out of spring training, but he made just two turns through the rotation before landing on the 60-day injured list in April with elbow inflammation. Even though he's now considered fully healthy and the Halos' starting pitching depth has only been further tested by injuries as the season has unfolded, the Angels weren't willing to open a rotation spot for Silseth after he struggled across his five-start rehab assignment in the minors. Silseth didn't show much improvement June 27 in his first start since being activated, so he'll now head to the Triple-A bullpen in what's expected to be a temporary move while he looks to improve his control and regain velocity following his recent absence due to the elbow injury. The Angels are still seemingly viewing Silseth as a starter over the long haul, but he doesn't look as though he'll be a realistic option for the big-league rotation anytime soon.

Not yet throwing Silseth (elbow) has been doing strengthening and plyometric activities, but he hasn't yet resumed throwing, per MLB.com.

Impact Silseth was placed on the 15-day IL on April 8 due to right elbow inflammation. A subsequent MRI cleared the hurler of any ligament damage, and an initial timeframe of three weeks was established for his return. However, it's not clear if Silseth will be able to meet that timeline given that he isn't yet throwing. Prior to getting hurt, Silseth had allowed six earned runs while posting a 12:4 K:BB over eight innings of work.

Heads to 15-day IL The Angels placed Silseth on the 15-day injured list Monday due to right elbow inflammation.

Impact The move corresponds with the Angels selecting the contracts of Carson Fulmer and Hunter Strickland. Silseth struggled over his first two starts, giving up six runs on eight hits and four walks while striking out 12 over eight innings, going 0-1 over that span.

Tosses four frames Silseth allowed one run on two hits and three walks over four innings in Friday's win over Oakland. He struck out three and did not factor in the decision.

Impact Silseth returned from the injured list Friday to make his first appearance since Aug. 26. The lone damage against him was Brent Rooker's RBI double in the third inning. Silseth posted a 3.96 ERA with a 56:26 K:BB through 52.1 MLB innings this season. In seven MLB appearances since the All-Star break, he registered a 3.21 ERA.

Back from injured list The Angels reinstated Silseth from the 7-day concussion IL on Thursday.

Impact Silseth landed on the 7-day injured list Aug. 29, but lingering discomfort and uneasiness prolonged his stay. He made two rehab starts with Triple-A Salt Lake, giving up two runs over 3.2 innings while striking out five batters and walking sixth, and he is now set to make his final major-league start of the season Friday versus Oakland. Kolton Ingram was optioned to Salt Lake in a corresponding move.

SEPTEMBER 28, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Rejoining rotation Friday Silseth (concussion) is scheduled to return from the 7-day injured list to start Friday's game against the Athletics at Angel Stadium, MLB.com reports.

Impact Silseth's availability for the rest of the season looked to be in question after he suffered a concussion Aug. 26 when he was struck on the head by an errant throw, but he cleared up any concerns about his health by making rehab starts with Triple-A Salt Lake on Sept. 17 and 22. In his most recent outing with Salt Lake this past weekend, Silseth tossed 60 pitches and 3.1 scoreless innings, so he should be capable of giving the Angels something close to a traditional start as he steps back into the rotation for the final series of the season.

SEPTEMBER 27, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Makes second rehab start Silseth (concussion) made his second rehab start with Triple-A Salt Lake on Friday, striking out four and scattering two hits and four walks over 3.1 scoreless innings.

Impact Silseth retired just one batter while giving up two runs in his first rehab outing for Salt Lake this past Sunday, but he fared much better while returning to the bump five days later. Though he wasn't especially efficient, Silseth stretched out to 60 pitches (29 strikes) and looks as though he'll be a candidate to return from the 7-day injured list for the final week of the season. Silseth could slot into the Angels rotation as soon as next Wednesday against the Rangers, though next weekend's series versus Oakland might be a more realistic target for his return.

SEPTEMBER 23, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Inefficient in short rehab start Silseth (concussion) recorded one out and allowed two earned runs on three hits and two walks in his rehab start Sunday for Triple-A Salt Lake.

Impact Silseth spotted just 14 of his 30 pitches for strikes in what was his first outing since he landed on the Angels' 7-day injured list Aug. 29 after being diagnosed with a concussion. It's unclear whether the Angels' plan was for Silseth to make only a brief rehab start Sunday, or if he was lifted from the outing early due to some sort of physical issue. Even if Silseth came out of the rehab start with a clean bill of health and is activated from the IL to fill the opening in the big club's six-man rotation this coming weekend in Minnesota, he could be held to a limited pitch count in his return.

SEPTEMBER 18, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Making rehab start Sunday Silseth (concussion) is making a rehab start with Triple-A Reno on Sunday, Erica Weston of Bally Sports West reports.

Impact The right-hander continues to work his way back from the concussion he suffered on a cross-infield throw in late August, and his return to game action is a strong indication he's close to rejoining the Angels. If he only requires the one rehab start, Silseth could be back in the Halos' rotation next weekend in Minnesota.

Return date uncertain Angels manager Phil Nevin said Monday that Silseth (concussion) won't be an option to start Wednesday's series finale in Seattle, Jeff Fletcher of The Orange County Register report...

Impact Silseth has seemingly made progress in his recovery from the concussion since landing on the 7-day injured list Aug. 29, but the young right-hander looks like he won't be an option to pitch this week while he continues to build his arm back up following the recent shutdown. The Angels will thus need to break in a new starter into their six-man rotation Wednesday, though a replacement has yet to be named.

Impact The Angels are still planning to maintain a six-man rotation even though Silseth won't be able to pitch this weekend. Anaheim is set to call up Davis Daniel from Triple-A Salt Lake to fill the sixth spot in the rotation Thursday, while Griffin Canning, Tyler Anderson and Kenny Rosenberg have been named as the Angels' starters from Friday through Sunday. According to MLB.com, Silseth is still dealing with some discomfort after he sustained a concussion when he was hit in the head by an errant throw in his Aug. 26 start versus the Mets.

Placed on concussion IL The Angels placed Silseth on the 7-day concussion injured list Tuesday, retroactive to Aug. 27.

Impact Silseth had to be hospitalized after taking a cross-infield throw to the back of the head during his start Saturday against the Mets. He was initially cleared of a concussion, but the Angels will play it safe with the 23-year-old right-hander as he continues to be evaluated. Silseth has pitched to a 4.10 ERA, 1.28 WHIP and 53:23 K:BB through 48.1 innings (seven starts, eight relief appearances) this season.

Impact Silseth was sent to the hospital for observation after exiting his start in Saturday's 5-3 win in the fourth inning, when he was hit in the head when teammate Trey Cabbage threw the baseball across the diamond. The right-hander was down on the field for several minutes before walking off the field under his own power, but he was still sent to the hospital, only to be discharged hours later. While Silseth appears to have avoided any concussion symptoms for the time being and is believed to be dealing with only a headache, he's still not guaranteed to make his next turn through the rotation, which would likely fall next weekend in Oakland.
