Done for season
Angels manager Ron Washington confirmed Sunday that Joyce (shoulder) won't return from the 15-day injured list this season, Jeff Fletcher of The Orange County Register reports.
Analysis
Joyce's placement on the IL is retroactive to Sept. 7, but the Angels won't rush him back for the final week of the season even though an MRI on his right shoulder returned clean. The hard-throwing right-hander has been diagnosed with an impingement in his right shoulder, but he should be in store for a normal offseason. Barring any high-profile additions to the bullpen this winter, Joyce will likely head into spring training as the favorite to open the 2025 campaign as the Angels' closer. After getting called up from the minors in early June, Joyce produced a 2.08 ERA, 1.15 WHIP and 33:14 K:BB over 34.2 innings while collecting two wins, eight holds and going 4-for-4 in save opportunities.

Diagnosed with impingement
Joyce was diagnosed with a right shoulder impingement Saturday, Rhett Bollinger of MLB.com reports.
Analysis
Joyce initially landed on the injured list Tuesday due to inflammation in his shoulder; however, his latest diagnosis increases the likelihood that the 23-year-old reliever will be held out for the remainder of the season. His return timeline remains unknown for now, though the Angels will know more once the results of his MRI come back.

To IL with shoulder inflammation
The Angels placed Joyce on the 15-day injured list Tuesday with right shoulder inflammation.
Analysis
It's not clear how long Joyce's shoulder has been bothering him, but he hadn't pitched in a week. Hunter Strickland and/or Roansy Contreras are candidates to pick up save chances while Joyce is out, although manager Ron Washington might not settle on one guy.
