Mike Trout - Blasts three-run homer Trout went 3-for-5 with a three-run homer, a stolen base and a strikeout during Friday's 5-4 loss to the Orioles.
Impact Trout put the Angels on the board Friday with his three-run blast, which was his 24th homer of the season. The 30-year-old hit just .045 with an RBI, a walk and 13 strikeouts in the six games leading up to Friday's matchup, so it was encouraging to see him post a multi-hit performance in the narrow loss. On Friday, Trout was named a starter in the outfield for the 2022 All-Star Game, marking the seventh time he's been selected as a starter.

Raisel Iglesias - Blows save against Orioles Iglesias (2-5) allowed three runs on four hits and no walks while striking out one in two-thirds of an inning to take the loss in Friday's game against the Orioles.
Impact Iglesias was called upon to preserve a two-run lead Friday, and he retired the first two batters he faced in the bottom of the ninth inning. However, he allowed the next three batters to record hits and was ultimately charged with his first blown save since June 5. The right-hander served a one-game suspension Sunday against the Astros and has given up four runs in 1.2 innings over two appearances since returning to the field.

Reid Detmers - Tosses six scoreless frames Detmers allowed two hits and a walk while striking out seven in six scoreless innings during Friday's loss to the Orioles. He didn't factor into the decision.
Impact The left-hander stepped in as a starter Friday after Michael Lorenzen (shoulder) was placed on the injured list, and Detmers was sharp in his return to the major-league mound. He posted a career-high seven strikeouts and left the game with the Angels holding a three-run lead, but he was forced to settle for a no-decision after the bullpen was unable to preserve the advantage. If he draws another start prior to the All-Star break, he tentatively lines up to take the mound at home against the Dodgers next Friday.

Michael Lorenzen - MRI shows no structural damage Lorenzen's MRI on his shoulder showed no structural damage Friday, Rhett Bollinger of MLB.com reports.
Impact Lorenzen hit the injured list Thursday with a right shoulder strain, an injury which may partially explain his 13.09 ERA and 2.55 WHIP across his last three starts. Friday's test results indicate that he's avoided a worst-case scenario, but he still has more treatment to get through before he begins a throwing program.

Tyler Wade - Remains in organization Wade cleared waivers Friday and was outrighted to Triple-A Salt Lake.
Impact Wade was designated for assignment by the Halos last weekend, but he'll stick in the organization after passing through waivers unclaimed. He posted a .218/.272/.272 slash line with one home run, eight RBI and eight stolen bases in 67 games before losing his spot on the 40-man roster.

Jack Mayfield - Unclaimed, assigned to Salt Lake Mayfield went unclaimed on waivers and will report to Triple-A Salt Lake.
Impact After being designated for assignment Sunday, Mayfield went unclaimed on waivers and will remain with the organization. The 31-year-old has produced a .200 average with two homers, 14 RBI, 11 runs and two stolen bases over 100 at-bats with Salt Lake this season.

Oliver Ortega - Optioned to Triple-A Ortega was optioned to Triple-A Salt Lake on Thursday.
Impact Ortega's latest big-league stint lasted just over two weeks. He posted a 3.86 ERA in seven innings of work and recorded his first career save, but he also struggled to a 2.00 WHIP. Reid Detmers was recalled in a corresponding move.
JULY 8, 2022 • ROTOWIRE
Reid Detmers - Officially called up Detmers was called up from Triple-A Salt Lake to start Friday's contest against the Orioles.
Impact As expected, Detmers will be on the mound Friday night against the Orioles, returning to the majors after making one start at Triple-A. The left-hander struggled in his two starts prior to being sent down, surrendering nine runs over 8.2 frames while allowing four home runs. He will look to return to the form he had in his prior two outings, a stretch where tossed 8.2 scoreless innings, when he toes the rubber Friday night which also happens to be his 23rd birthday.

Reid Detmers - Locked in for start Friday Detmers is listed as the Angels' starting pitcher for Friday's game in Baltimore and will be formally recalled from Triple-A Salt Lake prior to the contest.
Impact As anticipated, Detmers will step back into the Anaheim rotation as a replacement for Michael Lorenzen (shoulder), who was moved to the 15-day injured list. Though he earned a spot in the Angels' Opening Day rotation and delivered a solid 1.10 WHIP among his first 12 starts of the season while also tossing a no-hitter against the Rays on May 10, Detmers was prone to the long ball (1.71 HR/9) and turned in a weak 18.6 percent strikeout rate. The lack of punchouts were a surprise for a pitcher who had been one of the minors' most prolific strikeout artists in 2021, but Detmers could re-emerge as an asset in that category as he makes his return from Triple-A. In his lone start with Salt Lake after being optioned June 22, Detmers struck out 14 over six innings. According to Rhett Bollinger of MLB.com, Detmers worked with the Angels' minor-league pitching coordinator to tweak his slider, and the 23-year-old southpaw believes the success he found in his lone minor-league outing will set him up for success as he rejoins the big club.
