Canning (7-8) allowed two runs on five hits and two walks while striking out five over six innings to take the loss Wednesday versus the Rangers.
Canning went 0-4 over his last six outings of the campaign, though this was his third quality start in that span. The right-hander received no run support Wednesday, allowing Adolis Garcia's RBI double and solo home run to make the early difference. Canning finishes with a 4.32 ERA, 1.24 WHIP and 139:36 K:BB over 127 innings across 24 appearances (22 starts) this year, an improvement on his 5.60 ERA over 62.2 innings in 2021. He did not pitch at all due to a back injury last season.

Angels' Aaron Loup: Moved to 60-day IL
Rotowire
The Angels transferred Loup (shoulder) from the 15-day injured list to the 60-day injured list Wednesday.
This move clears out a 40-man roster spot for Kelvin Caceres, who has earned the call to the Angels' big-league bullpen. Loup was shut down last week with a left shoulder strain.

Angels' Kelvin Caceres: Selected to MLB bullpen
Rotowire
The Angels selected Caceres' contract from Triple-A Salt Lake on Wednesday.
Caceres began the 2023 season in High-A ball but has risen all the way to the majors for the Angels' final handful of games. The 23-year-old reliever struck out 85 batters in 54.2 minor-league innings this season, though all of those whiffs came with a less-exciting 4.12 ERA and 1.37 WHIP.

Rotowire
Paris underwent surgery Monday to repair a torn ligament in his left thumb, MLB.com reports.

Angels' Chase Silseth: Rejoining rotation Friday
Rotowire
Silseth (concussion) is scheduled to return from the 7-day injured list to start Friday's game against the Athletics at Angel Stadium, MLB.com reports.
Silseth's availability for the rest of the season looked to be in question after he suffered a concussion Aug. 26 when he was struck on the head by an errant throw, but he cleared up any concerns about his health by making rehab starts with Triple-A Salt Lake on Sept. 17 and 22. In his most recent outing with Salt Lake this past weekend, Silseth tossed 60 pitches and 3.1 scoreless innings, so he should be capable of giving the Angels something close to a traditional start as he steps back into the rotation for the final series of the season.
Drury went 3-for-4 with a three-run home run and an additional run scored in Tuesday's 9-3 win over the Rangers.
Drury put the Angels ahead 3-1 in the first inning, and they never looked back. The infielder has gone 13-for-35 (.371) with three homers and 10 RBI over his last eight games. For the season, he's at a .260/.304/.486 slash line with 24 long balls, 80 RBI, 57 runs scored, 28 doubles and three triples over 121 contests. He's been one of the Angels' most consistent hitters this year while seeing steady playing time around the infield.

Angels' Reid Detmers: Picks up fourth win
Rotowire
Detmers (4-10) allowed a run on four hits and four walks while striking out seven over seven innings to earn the win over the Rangers on Tuesday.
Detmers ended a five-start winless skid with a solid outing, though the four walks matched his season high. This was the fifth time he'd gone seven frames in an appearance this season, and it was only the second time he's won such a start. For the year, the southpaw is at a 4.48 ERA, 1.35 WHIP and 168:60 K:BB through 148.2 innings over 28 starts. Detmers could get one more start at home versus the Athletics on normal rest, but it's unclear if the Angels will want to roll him out there when they have nothing to play for.

Angels' Mike Moustakas: Not starting Tuesday
Rotowire
Moustakas isn't in the Angels' lineup Tuesday against the Rangers, Jeff Fletcher of The Orange County Register reports.

Angels' Nolan Schanuel: Held out Tuesday
Rotowire
Schanuel (knee) isn't in the Angels' lineup Tuesday against Texas, Erica Weston of Bally Sports West reports.
Knee tightness caused Schanuel to be removed from Monday's game during the seventh inning, and the Angels will give him an extra day to heal Tuesday. Brandon Drury will shift to first base in Schanuel's absence, allowing Eduardo Escobar to serve as the Halos' designated hitter.

Angels' Patrick Sandoval: Placed on injured list
Rotowire
The Angels placed Sandoval on the 15-day injured list Tuesday with a right oblique strain.
With a week left in the regular season, Sandoval's trip to the IL will cause him to miss the rest of the year. He finishes 2023 with a 4.11 ERA and 1.51 WHIP through 144.2 innings across 28 starts, and he'll be replaced on the roster by Kolton Ingram, who was recalled from Triple-A Salt Lake in a corresponding move. Sandoval was on track to start the final game of the season Sunday, and the Angels have yet to announce a replacement.

Angels' Kolton Ingram: Recalled from Salt Lake
Rotowire
The Angels recalled Ingram from Triple-A Salt Lake on Tuesday.
Ingram has given up five runs over 4.1 innings with the Angels this year, and he'll give the Angels some bullpen depth to close the season as Patrick Sandoval (oblique) heads to the injured list. Ingram logged a 2.95 ERA and 1.23 WHIP across 61 innings between Double-A and Triple-A in 2023.
O'Hoppe went 2-for-4 with a solo home run Monday in a loss to the Rangers.
O'Hoppe put the Angels on the board early with his second-inning solo shot, but that was the only run Los Angeles managed in the loss. The backstop continues to show good power, swatting seven homers over his past 15 games. He's added 12 RBI and nine runs over that stretch, though he's also posted a poor 1:20 BB:K.
Schanuel was pulled in the seventh inning of Monday's game against the Rangers due to tightness in his knee, Sarah Valenzuela of the Los Angeles Times reports.
Schanuel fouled a ball off his knee earlier in the contest and was initially able to remain in the game, but manager Phil Nevin noted Schanuel's knee began to tighten up later on, resulting in his removal. Schanuel will be considered day-to-day going forward, and the team plans to evaluate him further Tuesday, per Valenzuela.
