The Angels selected Detmers' contract from Triple-A Salt Lake ahead of his scheduled start Sunday against the Athletics.
Los Angeles optioned reliever James Hoyt to Triple-A to clear room on the active roster for Detmers, who is making his MLB debut Sunday. The 22-year-old lefty has been electric between stops at Triple-A and Double-A Rocket City this season, posting a 3.15 ERA and 1.10 WHIP while punching out 106 over 60 innings. The sky-high 15.9 K/9 rate in particular should make Detmers an interesting speculative pickup in fantasy leagues. The Angels haven't determined how long Detmers will stick with the big club, but he should have a window to make more than one turn through the rotation with starters Alex Cobb (wrist) and Shohei Ohtani (thumb) tending to injuries and with Andrew Heaney now plying his trade with the Yankees.
