Overview

• Ben Joyce underwent shoulder surgery on May 14, 2025, and will miss the remainder of the MLB season, the Los Angeles Angels announced.
• The nature of the surgery has not been disclosed, with the team citing player privacy in withholding further details.
• Joyce, known for his 105 mph fastball, experienced a velocity dip in an April 8 outing, leading to an MRI that revealed shoulder inflammation.
• After failed attempts to resume throwing, Joyce was referred to a specialist and placed on the 60-day injured list earlier this month.
• This marks another injury setback for the promising reliever, who posted a 2.08 ERA in 2024 but has faced persistent arm issues throughout his career.
