Overview

  • Coaches noted a 2–3 mph velocity drop in Detmers’ outing Wednesday, leading Ray Montgomery and trainer Mike Frostad to visit the mound and send him for an MRI.
  • Detmers described a dead feeling with the ball not coming out right, reported no pain, and said he does not believe the issue involves his UCL.
  • The club labeled the condition elbow inflammation while awaiting imaging and expressed hope the problem is not structural.
  • With the regular season ending Sept. 28, MLB.com reported the earliest possible return would be Sept. 26, making a comeback this year unlikely.
  • Right-hander Chase Silseth was recalled from Triple-A Salt Lake to fill the roster spot after four MLB relief outings this season.
