Joyce has been a bright spot in what has been a challenging season for the Angels. The team will likely go with a committee approach at closer for now.

Joyce allowed a single to Luke Raley which was wiped away by a double play hit by J.P. Crawford. Joyce then struck out Josh Rojas for his fourth save on the season.

Ben Joyce delivered a solid performance, allowing just one hit while striking out two to secure the save in the Angels' 3-0 victory over the Tigers.

Fantasy Impact

This outing, where Joyce tossed 16 pitches over 1.1 innings, adds to his season of reliable relief appearances. With a 2.27 ERA and a 1.20 WHIP across 28 games, his role in high-leverage situations seems to be solidifying, especially given his accumulation of saves and holds with zero blown saves. Fantasy managers should note his improving consistency and consider him a viable option for saves and strikeouts, albeit with a moderate strikeout rate that might limit his ceiling compared to other elite closers.

Ben Joyce will serve as the opener for the Angels Sunday.

Fantasy Impact

Joyce has struggled his season, posting a 12.27 ERA and a 3.00 WHIP in his first four appearances this season. The Angels will look to get a few innings out of him before turning it over to a bulk reliever.
