Detmers is scheduled to start Monday's game against the Twins in Minnesota.
Detmers will draw a second straight start in the Angels' six-man rotation after he impressed in his return to the big leagues this past Tuesday against the Dodgers. While making his first start for the Halos since June 1, Detmers limited a tough Los Angeles lineup to two runs on three hits and two walks while striking out 10 batters over six innings.

Angels' Reid Detmers: Strong in return to majors
Rotowire
Detmers allowed two runs on three hits and two walks while striking out 10 over six innings in a no-decision versus the Dodgers on Tuesday.
Detmers had allowed at least three runs in eight straight outings before being sent to Triple-A Salt Lake at the beginning of June. He was able to post a quality start in his return, throwing 68 of 100 pitches for strikes. That poor stretch earlier in the year will be tough to overcome in the season-long numbers, which have Detmers at a 5.87 ERA, 1.42 WHIP and 80:29 K:BB through 69 innings over 13 starts. He's expected to remain in the rotation moving forward as the Angels roll with six starters, which puts him in line to make his next start at Minnesota.

Angels' Reid Detmers: Called up, will start Tuesday
Rotowire
The Angels recalled Detmers from Triple-A Salt Lake on Sunday. He's scheduled to start the Angels' series opener versus the Dodgers in Anaheim on Tuesday, Jeff Fletcher of The Orange County Register reports.
The left-hander will be back with the Angels for the first time since early June after he was banished to the minors following a string of poor starts. He had largely struggled to the right the ship over his first two months at Salt Lake, but Detmers settled into a groove over his final three starts with the Triple-A club (1.29 ERA, 0.86 WHIP and 29:7 K:BB in 21 innings) to earn another chance with the Angels. With the Angels recently adding rookies Jack Kochanowicz, Caden Dana and Samuel Aldegheri to a rotation that already included Tyler Anderson and Griffin Canning, the promotion of Detmers now gives the club six starters. The Angels could keep a six-man rotation in place over the final four weeks of the season to help limit the innings of the young starters while also affording them an additional day of rest between starts.

Angels' Reid Detmers: Will be added to roster
Rotowire
Detmers is expected to be added to the Angels' roster and will start Tuesday against the Dodgers, Jeff Fletcher of The Orange County Register reports.
MLB rosters expand to 28 players Sunday, and the Angels will add Detmers to seemingly create a six-man rotation for the tail end of the regular season, per Fletcher. Detmers was sent down to Triple-A Salt Lake on June 1 after giving up four earned runs or more in seven of his eight prior major-league starts. He has a 5.54 ERA and 1.40 WHIP across 78 innings with Salt Lake this season, but he's been better over his last three starts with a 1.29 ERA, 0.86 WHIP and 29:7 K:BB across 21 frames.
Detmers allowed one run on three hits and two walks over eight innings while striking out 11 batters in his start for Triple-A Salt Lake on Friday.
Detmers has been with Salt Lake since early June following a string of poor starts in the majors. His 11-punchout performance Friday was his third double-digit strikeout effort over 12 starts in the minors, and he's racked up an impressive 83 punchouts over 65 innings during that span. On the flip side, Detmers has also posted a 6.37 ERA and 1.48 WHIP, so he hasn't made the strongest case for a return to the majors. The Angels placed starter Jose Soriano on the injured list Saturday due to arm fatigue and will need a replacement for his spot in the rotation, but Hector Gomez of Z101Digital.com reports that veteran hurler Johnny Cueto will be called up from Triple-A to fill the opening rather than Detmers.
