Reid Detmers To Start In The Bullpen
Los Angeles Angels left-hander Reid Detmers will open the 2025 regular season in the bullpen, according to manager Ron Washington. Detmers will be set for a long-relief/swing role to start after losing out on the final starting rotation spot to sinker-baller right-hander Jack Kochanowicz. The 25-year-old southpaw will almost certainly make some starts for the Halos this year, but it won't be early in the season. Detmers, a former first-rounder in 2020, wasn't bad this spring, as he had a 2.79 ERA and 1.09 WHIP while walking four and striking out 17 in 19 1/3 Cactus League innings over six appearances (three starts). He started off last year strong before going 0-6 with an 8.93 ERA in eight starts, which earned him a trip to Triple-A Salt Lake. Detmers has already thrown a no-hitter at the big-league level, but he continues to search for consistency and won't really have much fantasy appeal as long as he's pitching in relief.
