Moves to 60-day IL
The Angels transferred Kochanowicz (elbow) to the 60-day injured list Wednesday.
Analyse
Kochanowicz is slated to undergo Tommy John surgery after being diagnosed with a torn UCL in his right elbow, so a move to the 60-day IL was expected. He'll finish the 2026 campaign with a 6.19 ERA and 1.58 WHIP across 64 innings (13 starts) and will likely remain out until late 2027 or early 2028.

Set for Tommy John surgery
Kochanowicz (elbow) will undergo Tommy John surgery, Erica Weston of Bally Sports West reports.
Analyse
Kochanowicz landed on the injured list Sunday due to right elbow inflammation, and an MRI revealed Tuesday that he suffered a torn UCL. The procedure will bring his season to an early end and force him to miss most, if not all, of the 2027 campaign as well.

Lands on IL with elbow inflammation
The Angels placed Kochanowicz on the 15-day injured list Sunday due to right elbow inflammation.
Analyse
Kochanowicz acknowledged Saturday that he felt "something in his elbow" during his last three starts, per Jeff Fletcher of The Orange County Register. He'll undergo an MRI on Monday to determine the severity of the injury and establish a recovery timeline, but given that it's an elbow issue, it wouldn't be surprising for Kochanowicz to remain on the IL well past the 15-day minimum. Sam Aldegheri was recalled form Triple-A Salt Lake in a corresponding move, but Caden Dana and George Klassen are candidates to enter the Los Angeles rotation in Kochanowicz's absence, per Rhett Bollinger of MLB.com.

Nightmarish outing in loss
Kochanowicz (2-5) allowed seven runs (six earned) on six hits and a walk while striking out one over one-third of an inning to take the loss versus the Dodgers on Saturday.
Analyse
Kochanowicz didn't make it all the way through the Dodgers' lineup before he was pulled. Things have taken a turn for the worse for the right-hander, who has now allowed 15 runs (14 earned) over 6.2 innings across his last three starts. He's at a 6.05 ERA, 1.58 WHIP and 47:36 K:BB through 64 innings across 13 starts this season. Given his recent performance and his team situation, Kochanowicz is best avoided in most fantasy formats. He is tentatively projected for a home start versus the Rays in his next outing, assuming the Angels don't opt to pivot to another option. He allowed three runs on five hits and four walks over 2.1 innings versus the Rays on May 31.
