DAVIS DANIEL NEWS

Sent back to Triple-A The Angels optioned Daniel to Triple-A Salt Lake on Tuesday.

Impact Daniel will head back to the minors just a day after he surrendered four earned runs over five innings during his start Monday against the Blue Jays. Kenny Rosenberg will come up from Salt Lake to fill the open roster spot, though Jack Kochanowicz is the most likely option to fill the fifth spot in the Halos' rotation.

Roughed up by Blue Jays Daniel (1-4) took the loss Monday against Toronto, allowing four runs on eight hits and two walks across five innings. He struck out two.

Impact All four runs attributed to Daniel came in the third inning, when he surrendered back-to-back doubles, an RBI single and a two-run home run, with the long ball coming off Leo Jimenez's bat. Daniel has surrendered at least four runs in back-to-back starts and has done so in four of six starts this season. Though Daniel is expected to remain in the rotation, the Angels could replace him with Jack Kochanowicz, who allowed two runs across 7.2 innings Sunday after being recalled from Double-A.

No longer starting Sunday Daniel will not start Sunday's game against the Nationals, Rhett Bollinger of MLB.com reports.

Impact The Angels had previously named Daniel as the starter for Sunday's series finale, even though he would be pitching on three days' rest after tossing 83 pitches in the first game of a doubleheader with the Yankees on Wednesday. However, the team will now switch course and call up Jack Kochanowicz from Double-A Rocket City to start Sunday instead of having Daniel take the hill on short rest. Daniel is a candidate to pitch Monday against the Blue Jays on regular rest, though the Angels haven't released their probable starters for the three-game home series.

No longer starting Sunday Daniel will not start Sunday's game against the Nationals, Rhett Bollinger of MLB.com reports.

Impact Daniel was surprisingly named the Angels' starter for Sunday's series finale despite throwing 83 pitches in Game 1 of a doubleheader Wednesday. However, the team will switch course and start Jack Kochanowicz on Sunday instead of having Daniel pitch on three days' rest. Daniel is a candidate to pitch Monday against the Blue Jays on regular rest, though the Angels haven't released their probable starters for the three-game home series.

AUGUST 11 • ROTOWIRE

Starting on three days' rest Sunday Daniel will make his next start Sunday in Washington against the Nationals, Jeff Fletcher of The Orange County Register reports.

Impact Daniel was roughed up in his most recent loss Wednesday in the first game of a doubleheader with the Yankees, taking a loss while giving up five earned runs on seven hits and two walks while striking out four. Even though Daniel handled a relatively standard workload (83 pitches) in that outing, the Angels will have the right-hander return to the mound on three days' rest rather than his usual four or five Sunday. The Angels haven't specifically said that Daniel will be on a workload restriction against the Nationals, though it wouldn't be surprising if that was the case.

Sputters against Yankees Daniel (1-3) took the loss against the Yankees on Wednesday in Game 1 of a doubleheader, allowing five runs on seven hits and two walks while striking out four batters over 3.1 inn...

Impact Daniel fell behind 2-0 after one inning and 3-0 after two before pitching his first scoreless frame in the third. However, he couldn't maintain any momentum in the fourth, as he allowed two of the three hitters he faced to reach base before getting the hook. Altogether, the rookie ended up allowing five runs, the third time in five starts he's given up that amount (though in one of those starts, only four of the runs were earned). Daniel has shown some promise too with a pair of strong starts during which he's given up just one earned run across a combined 13 frames, but his overall 6.04 ERA and 1.38 WHIP (despite a solid 23:4 K:BB) over 25.1 innings make him a volatile fantasy starter.

AUGUST 8 • ROTOWIRE

LAA-NYY rained out Tuesday Daniel and the Angels will not play Tuesday after their game against the Yankees was postponed due to inclement weather.

Impact The contest has been rescheduled as part of a traditional doubleheader Wednesday. Daniel will now take the ball for the Angels that day instead.

AUGUST 6 • ROTOWIRE

Drawing another start Daniel is scheduled to start Tuesday's game against the Yankees on the road.

Impact Daniel will stick around as the Angels' No. 5 starter for another turn after he showed well in his return to the big leagues this past Wednesday, when he limited the Rockies to one run over five innings while striking out five batters. The right-hander will draw a tougher test for his second turn through the rotation, but barring a disaster of an outing in The Bronx, Daniel should have some staying power in a starting role with the Halos.

AUGUST 5 • ROTOWIRE

Solid in no-decision Daniel did not factor into the decision in a loss to the Rockies on Wednesday, allowing one run on five hits and one walk over five innings while striking out five.

Impact Daniel got himself in trouble in the opening frame when he allowed three of the first five batters to reach, leading to one run coming home for Colorado. However, the right-hander settled in from that point on, hurling four shutout innings before being relieved by Jose Marte at the start of the sixth. Daniel had allowed at least four runs in each of his previous two starts coming in but now holds a robust 19:2 K:BB on the season. Daniel is expected to take the mound again next week against the Yankees in New York, assuming he earned himself at least another start with Wednesday's solid performance.

AUGUST 1 • ROTOWIRE

Receiving start Wednesday Daniel is scheduled to start Wednesday's game against the Rockies in Anaheim.

Impact The Halos brought Daniel up from Triple-A Salt Lake this past Friday, but after he wasn't needed in relief for any of the club's ensuing four contests, he'll step into the rotation spot that briefly belonged to Kenny Rosenberg. Daniel owns a 5.82 ERA over 17 innings in the majors this season, but his underlying metrics (3.69 SIERA, 4.35 xERA, 18.8 K-BB%) offer hope that he'll turn in better surface numbers moving forward.

Brought up to majors The Angels recalled Daniel from Triple-A Salt Lake on Friday.

Impact Daniel will replace Kenny Rosenberg, who surrendered six runs in a start Thursday, in the back end of the Angels rotation. Daniel has made three starts with the Angels this season, landing a 5.82 ERA with a 14:1 K:BB across 17,0 innings. Assuming he fills Rosenberg's spot, Daniel would be in line for a home start against the Rockies on Wednesday.

Brought up to majors The Angels recalled Daniel from Triple-A Salt Lake on Friday.

Impact Daniel will replace Kenny Rosenberg, who surrendered six runs in a start Thursday, in the back end of the Angels rotation.

Sent back to minors The Angels optioned Daniel to Triple-A Salt Lake on Wednesday, Jeff Fletcher of The Orange County Register reports.

Impact Daniel completed eight scoreless innings in his first major-league start late last month, but in two outings since then he allowed 12 runs (11 earned) over nine innings. He could return at some point after the All-Star break, but for now Daniel will cede his rotation spot to Jack Kochanowicz.

JULY 10 • ROTOWIRE

Lassoed by Rangers Daniel (1-2) took the loss against Texas on Monday, allowing seven runs on eight hits and no walks while striking out three batters over 3.2 innings.

Impact Daniel served up a two-run homer to Corey Seager in the first inning, then made it through the next two frames unscathed. However, he fell apart in the fourth, allowing five hits and plunking a batter before being pulled with two outs after the Rangers racked up five runs. Daniel had a magical first outing of the campaign when he struck out eight over eight scoreless innings against Detroit on June 27, but he's struggled since, giving up 12 runs (11 earned) over nine innings across his subsequent two appearances.

JULY 9 • ROTOWIRE

Serves up two homers in loss Daniel (1-1) took the loss against the Athletics on Wednesday, allowing four runs on seven hits and one walk over 5.1 innings. He struck out three.

Impact Daniel allowed baserunners in five of the six frames in which he appeared and was finally chased from the game after giving up solo homers in both the fifth and sixth innings. The right-hander was unable to recreate the magic from his first start when he shut out the Tigers over eight frames, though he'll look to rebound next week when the Angels travel back home to take on the Rangers.

JULY 4 • ROTOWIRE

Getting another start Wednesday Daniel is scheduled to start Wednesday's game against the Athletics in Oakland, Doug Padilla of The Orange County Register reports.

Impact The Halos will get some reinforcement to their rotation with Jose Soriano (abdomen) on track to come off the 15-day injured list Tuesday to start the series opener in Oakland, but Daniel did enough in his first MLB start last Thursday versus Detroit to earn another turn. After getting called up from Triple-A Salt Lake to aid a rotation that had been hit hard by injuries of late, Daniel proceeded to deliver eight shutout innings while striking out eight and giving up only four hits and no walks. The matchup with a weak Athletics offense at a pitcher-friendly venue in Oakland offers an ideal setup for Daniel to come through with another quality start.

Set to start Thursday Daniel will be recalled from Triple-A Salt Lake to start Thursday's game against the Tigers, Jeff Fletcher of The Orange County Register reports.

Impact Daniel has spent the duration of the season at Salt Lake, posting a 5.33 ERA but an 82:25 K:BB across 76 innings covering 14 starts. The 27-year-old right-hander appeared in three games out of the Angels' bullpen in 2023, allowing three runs with a 9:9 K:BB over 12.1 frames. With Patrick Sandoval (elbow) out for the season and Jose Soriano (abdomen) still out, Daniel could get a chance to take multiple turns in the Angels' rotation.

JUNE 26 • ROTOWIRE

Back in majors The Angels recalled Daniel from Triple-A Salt Lake on Wednesday, Jeff Fletcher of The Orange County Register reports.

Impact The 26-year-old had a one-day stint in the majors in late April but didn't see game action. Daniel made three appearances for the Angels last season and posted a 2.19 ERA, 1.30 WHIP and 9:9 K:BB over 12.1 innings.

Brought back to big club The Angels recalled Daniel from Triple-A Salt Lake on Monday.

Impact Daniel was optioned to Triple-A during spring training. He's started in five games with Salt Lake, going 0-3 while recording a 6.08 ERA, 1.81 WHIP and 26:8 K:BB over 23.2 innings. To make room for Daniel, the Angels optioned right-hander Zac Kristofak to Triple-A Salt Lake following Sunday's loss to the Twins.

Earns first win Daniel (1-1) yielded two hits and a walk over five shutout frames Friday, striking out two and earning a win over Oakland.

The 26-year-old rookie registered a 2.19 ERA across 12.1 MLB frames since being promoted in early September. Daniel also posted a 2.15 ERA through 29.1 minor-league innings in 2023.

Handed first loss Daniel (0-1) allowed three runs on three hits and five walks over 4.1 innings Friday, striking out six and taking a loss against the Twins.

Impact Daniel took over for Jose Suarez in the second inning and was handed his first MLB loss after serving up a solo homer to Alex Kirilloff in the sixth.

Daniel also walked seven batters in his last appearance with Triple-A Salt Lake.
