Angels pitcher Ben Joyce throws during the fourth inning of a spring training game against the Dodgers in Phoenix, Tuesday, March 5, 2024. SEATTLE — The Angels are hoping that this version of Ben Joyce is better than the one they last saw in the big leagues.“He’s a young kid with a strong arm that just didn’t know exactly, at that time, how to use it,” Washington said, referring to Joyce’s 2023 in the majors and 2024 in spring training.
Joyce had a 5.40 ERA in 12 big league games last season, with 10 walks in 10 innings. At Double-A this season, Joyce had a 4.26 ERA with 11 walks and 34 strikeouts in 19 innings. “He was much better than he was last year when he came up here and better than he showed in spring training,” Washington said on Sunday.A day after optioning Detmers, Washington said he doesn’t think the left-hander will be down for long.
Detmers said his biggest problem was that he couldn’t throw his slider the way he wanted. He had an issue with his slider in 2022, and he corrected it quickly in the minors and returned to finish the season strong in the majors.Because of off days on Thursday and next Monday, the Angels don’t need a fifth starter until June 15.
