Reid Detmers Displays his Strikeout Upside With 14-K Performance Sunday Night
Los Angeles Angels left-hander Reid Detmers had his swing-and-miss stuff working to perfection on Sunday night against the division-rival Texas Rangers in what was a very impressive bounce-back outing. Detmers settled for a no-decision, but fantasy managers who rolled the dice on him to close out the week were handsomely rewarded, as the 26-year-old southpaw allowed only one earned run on a solo home run by Jake Burger while walking none and striking out a season-high 14 batters in a season-high eight innings of work to lower his season ERA to 4.57. The Angels won the game 2-1 at home, but Detmers did not factor into the decision. Still, it was a nice bounce-back outing after he surrendered a season-high eight earned runs on eight hits while walking two and striking out eight in 5 2/3 innings on May 19 in his last time out against the Athletics. Detmers is only 1-5 on the year, but he has 75 strikeouts and 19 walks in 63 innings across his 11 starts. He has fanned at least six batters in four of his last five starts and also has two nine-K performances in 2026. Detmers is only rostered in 33% of Yahoo leagues and is worth a look off the waiver wire if you need strikeouts.
