Angels' Reid Detmers: Goes six scoreless in no-decision
Detmers did not factor into the decision in Friday's 2-1 extra-inning loss to the Rangers, allowing six hits and one walk while striking out five over six scoreless innings.
Detmers didn't have his best stuff, generating only nine swinging strikes on 89 pitches, but he pounded the strike zone en route to his second straight scoreless start. Dating back to the fifth inning of his July 17 outing, the southpaw has tossed 16 consecutive scoreless frames, posting a quality start in each of those efforts. He'll take a 3.62 ERA, 1.06 WHIP and 172:44 K:BB across 149 innings this season into a home matchup with the Phillies next weekend.

Angels' Ben Joyce: Blows save, takes first loss
Joyce (0-1) blew a save and took the loss against the Rangers on Friday, allowing two unearned runs on two hits and one walk with one strikeout while recording two outs in the 10th inning.
Joyce was summoned to close out a one-run lead in the 10th inning and recorded two quick outs. It was downhill from there, though, as he yielded an RBI double before the game-winning run scored on a throwing error. Despite the end result, the 25-year-old has now gone seven straight outings without allowing an earned run since making his season debut Aug. 5. He owns three saves and one hold over that span to go along with a strong 9:2 K:BB and should remain the club's favorite for save chances down the stretch.

Angels' Wade Meckler: Idle Friday
Meckler (head) isn't in the lineup for Friday's game against the Rangers, Jeff Fletcher of The Orange County Register reports.
Meckler will receive an extra day off to recover after he departed Thursday's game due to taking a pitch off his helmet. Jose Siri, Mike Trout and Josh Lowe will form the Angels' outfield trio Friday while Meckler is on the bench.

Angels' Nolan Schanuel: Absent from lineup
Schanuel (side) isn't in the lineup for Friday's game against Texas, Jeff Fletcher of The Orange County Register reports.
Schanuel left Thursday's game early with a side injury, and the Angels will give him an extra day to recover while they match up against left-hander MacKenzie Gore. His absence will cause Vaughn Grissom to move over to first base, opening up second for Oswald Peraza.

Angels' Tyler Heineman: Sitting Friday
Heineman isn't in the lineup for Friday's game against the Rangers, Jeff Fletcher of The Orange County Register reports.
Heineman went 1-for-3 with an RBI and scored a run Thursday, but the Angels will keep him on the bench to begin Friday's series opener. Travis d'Arnaud will pick up a start behind the plate as a result and bat eighth.

Angels' Sebastian Rivero: Kicking off rehab assignment Friday
Rivero (hand) will begin a rehab assignment with Triple-A Salt Lake on Friday.
Rivero suffered a left hamate fracture June 10 and has experienced some setbacks in his recovery after initially beginning a rehab assignment last month. The 27-year-old backstop has slashed .245/.286/.283 with a pair of doubles, eight RBI, five runs scored and a 3:12 BB:K across 57 plate appearances with the Halos this season.

Angels' Denzer Guzman: Goes deep after entering off bench
Guzman went 1-for-2 with a two-run home run in an 18-3 rout of Houston on Thursday.
Guzman began the game on the bench but entered on defense in the sixth inning after the Angels had built a 14-2 lead. He struck out in his first at-bat but then took advantage of facing a position player (LaMonte Wade) in the ninth inning by mashing a two-run homer to left field. The long ball was his first since July 31, a span of 17 games. Guzman has six home runs overall through 194 plate appearances this season while slashing .236/.280/.368 with 19 runs, 22 RBI and two stolen bases.

Angels' Zach Neto: Explodes for five hits, seven RBI in rout
Neto went 5-for-6 with a home run, a double, two total runs and seven total RBI in an 18-3 victory over the Astros on Thursday.
Neto began the scoring with an RBI single in the first inning. The talented young shortstop was just getting started -- he added four more hits before the game was over, including another RBI single in the fourth, a three-run homer in the fifth and a two-run double in the seventh. The five hits and seven RBI were both career-high marks for Neto, who came into the contest batting a meager .169 through his first 16 games in August. The offensive outburst lifted his season OPS nearly 20 points from .717 to .736.

Angels' Grayson Rodriguez: Cruises to victory in rare Angels rout
Rodriguez (4-5) earned the win over Houston on Thursday, allowing two unearned runs on five hits and two walks while striking out six batters over seven innings.
Rodriguez looked like he could be in for a rough night when he allowed the first three batters he faced to reach base via two walks and a single. An ensuing error by third baseman Vaughn Grissom resulted in a Houston run, but the right-hander settled down and allowed just one more run to cross the plate in the frame. That ended up being all the offense the Astros would post against Rodriguez, while the Angels exploded for a season-high 18 runs. The victory was the first for Rodriguez since July 10, as he struggled to a 6.75 ERA, 1.43 WHIP and 0-3 record across his first six starts following the All-Star break. He's at a 6.41 ERA through 14 outings in his first campaign with the Angels, but Rodriguez will look to build upon Thursday's strong start in his next outing, which is set to come at home next week against the Guardians.

Angels' Nolan Schanuel: Removed with side soreness
Schanuel was removed from Thursday night's game against the Astros with right side soreness.
The Halos were clobbering the Astros 14-2 when Schanuel was removed from the game in the sixth inning. Prior to exiting, the first baseman was 0-for-4 at the plate with an RBI groundout and one run scored. Vaughn Grissom has moved to first base.

Angels' Wade Meckler: Leaves game following HBP
Meckler exited Thursday night's game against the Astros in the fifth inning after he was hit by a pitch in the helmet, Jeff Fletcher of The Orange County Register reports.
Jose Siri came on to run for Meckler, who was able to walk off the field under his own power. Prior to exiting, Meckler was 1-for-2 with a walk, the HBP and two runs scored as the Halos' leadoff man.

Angels' Denzer Guzman: Riding pine Thursday
Guzman isn't in the lineup for Thursday's game against the Astros, Jeff Fletcher of The Orange County Register reports.
Guzman will retreat to the bench after going 2-for-8 with two RBI and four strikeouts across the first two games of the series. His absence will cause Vaughn Grissom to move to third base, opening up the keystone for Adam Frazier.

Angels' Sammy Peralta: Back in majors
The Angels recalled Peralta from Triple-A Salt Lake on Thursday.
Peralta has given up five earned runs over 5.2 major-league innings this season, but he'll be welcomed back into the Angels' bullpen in order to make up for the loss of Samy Natera (back). Peralta isn't likely to see much work outside of low-leverage situations.

Angels' Samy Natera: Lands on injured list
The Angels placed Natera on the 15-day injured list Thursday, retroactive to Monday, with lower-back spasms.
Natera hasn't appeared in game since Aug. 11, though his back didn't begin to bother him until Saturday. He'll now be forced to remain on the sidelines through the end of the month, which will allow Ben Joyce to continue working as the Angels' premier high-leverage reliever. Sammy Peralta was recalled from Triple-A Salt Lake in a corresponding move.

Angels' Zach Neto: Posts steal in loss
Neto went 1-for-4 with a stolen base in Wednesday's 3-2 loss to the Astros.
Neto's bat remains a bit inconsistent, as he's gone just 7-for-39 (.179) over his last 10 games, though he has three steals in that span. The shortstop is up to 17 steals on 27 attempts this season. He's also hitting .224 with a .717 OPS, 20 home runs, 54 RBI, 76 runs scored, 24 doubles and three triples over 123 contests, though his 31.4 percent strikeout rate has taken a toll on his numbers throughout the year.
