Dana (0-4) allowed five runs on five hits and a walk while striking out five over seven innings to take the loss Saturday versus the Astros. Dana had his longest start in the majors, and he was efficient in throwing 67 of 93 pitches for strikes. He still gave up three home runs, which accounted for all five runs on his line, matching his season high in runs allowed. The right-hander concludes the campaign with a 6.40 ERA, 1.48 WHIP and 33:18 K:BB through 32.1 innings across seven appearances (five starts) in the majors. Dana will need to show better command to have a chance at securing a rotation spot on a full-time basis in 2026.

Dana is slated to start Monday's game against the Twins in Anaheim. He'll remain in the rotation for another turn after he limited the Royals to two runs (one earned) on two hits and one walk over five innings last Wednesday upon getting recalled from Triple-A Salt Lake. Through three outings (one start) in the big leagues on the season, Dana owns a 4.91 ERA, 1.36 WHIP and 10:6 K:BB in 11 innings. Dana should be able to maintain a starting role for the Angels for the rest of the season, and if he closes the campaign on a high note, he could have an inside track on a spot in the Opening Day rotation heading into spring training.

The Angels optioned Dana to Triple-A Salt Lake on Sunday. Dana was called up by the Halos on Saturday, and he'll return to the minors after giving up three runs over three innings out of the bullpen in a 6-2 loss to the Marlins. The right-hander should return to the rotation at Salt Lake, where he has a 5.21 ERA, 1.45 WHIP and 41:16 K:BB over 38 innings this season.

The Angels recalled Dana from Triple-A Salt Lake on Saturday. Dana has spent most of the season in Triple-A, where he has a 3-4 record across eight starts with a 5.21 ERA, 1.45 WHIP and 41:16 K:BB across 38 innings. He made an appearance out of the Angels' bullpen against the Guardians on April 4, when he allowed two runs on four hits and one walk while striking out two across three innings. The Angels designated Shaun Anderson for assignment in order to make room on the 26-man roster for Dana, who is expected to serve in a long-relief role, per Sam Blum of The Athletic.

Dana allowed two runs on four hits and one walk while striking out two batters over three innings in Friday's loss to Cleveland. Dana was recalled from Triple-A Salt Lake ahead of Friday's contest and ended up logging a sizeable workload of 56 pitches (34 strikes). The right-hander gave up a pair of runs, one of which came on Jose Ramirez's third homer of the game. Dana's call-up came as a result of Ryan Johnson landing on the paternity list, so the former's stay on the big-league roster may not last long.
