Daniel made his MLB debut earlier this month, throwing three impressive shutout innings. He then got "rewarded" for that performance by being sent right back down. Hopefully this time around he's able to stay on the active roster for the last week and a half of the season.

As for Loup, he struggled mightily this season, sporting a 6.10 ERA in 55 appearances. This will officially put an end to his Angels tenure, which saw him pitch to the tune of a 4.86 ERA across 120 appearances. Not exactly ideal, especially considering he signed a two-year, $17 million deal ahead of the 2022 season.

Anderson is expected to go on Sunday, which will likely be his second-to-last start of a disappointing first year in Anaheim. After signing a three-year, $39 million deal this offseason, Anderson has regressed mightily, sporting a 5.43 ERA in 141 innings.
