Ryan Johnson gives up two homers in loss to Boston

Ryan Johnson

LAA Starting Pitcher #32

Player Stats

Ryan Johnson surrendered five runs — two earned — in four innings Sunday in a loss to the Red Sox.

Johnson gave up a two-run homer in the second and a three-run blast in the third, but the runs from the latter were all unearned after a Zach Neto error extended the inning. It brings Johnson’s total of homers allowed to eight in 28 1/3 innings this season and 12 in 43 innings total as a major leaguer. He’s definitely throwing better now than he has at any other point since debuting with the Angels, but he remains far away from contributing in fantasy leagues. He’ll likely face the Twins on Saturday.

Ryan Johnson allowed three runs — one earned — through five innings Monday in a loss to the Mariners.

The two unearned runs came in the fourth. Johnson retired the first two batters of the inning, but a HBP and a Denzer Guzman error followed. After that, Cal Raleigh flipped a little 74-mph flyball into shallow left to plate two runs. The Angels could activate Grayson Rodriguez this weekend, with either Johnson or Sam Aldegheri getting sent to the bullpen or, more likely, Triple-A. Johnson helped the cause a little tonight, but he’s still 1-3 with a 7.40 ERA in four starts and three relief appearances.

Ryan Johnson tossed six shutout innings with eight strikeouts in a win over the Orioles on Tuesday.

Johnson was outstanding on Tuesday in what was his best start in the majors so far, holding the Orioles scoreless over six innings on his way to a win. He allowed just one hit and one walk while generating 15 whiffs to strike out eight batters. The 23-year-old right-hander will look to build on his excellent outing with a start against the Mariners in Seattle on Monday.

Ryan Johnson gave up five runs over five innings Thursday in a loss to the Angels.

All five runs came in the first. After a clean single to start the inning, novice outfielder Christian Moore botched Nick Kurtz’s fly to left for a double and back-to-back homers followed. Johnson finally escaped the frame after 35 pitches and then never gave up any extra-base hits or walks afterwards. His career ERA actually dropped from 10.17 to 9.96 with the performance. He’ll probably be sent down for a fresh arm Friday, but we’ll see.

Angels recalled RHP Ryan Johnson from Double-A Rocket City.

The 23-year-old right-hander will rejoin the Angels to start against the Athletics on Thursday evening in West Sacramento. Johnson holds a 15.12 ERA, 2.64 WHIP and a 5/7 K/BB ratio over 8 1/3 innings with the Halos this season. He does not make for an attractive streaming option on Thursday evening and should be avoided at all costs.

Angels optioned RHP Ryan Johnson to Double-A Rocket City.

Johnson returns to the minors after allowing eight runs over five innings across three relief appearances since returning from the injured list on May 15. The 23-year-old still has a chance to eventually emerge as a back-end rotation arm for the Angels but the results haven’t been there in the majors over the last two years.

Angels activated RHP Ryan Johnson (hamstring) from the 10-day injured list.

Johnson was put on the injured list back on April 6th with a viral infection, but then was pulled from his rehab start the next week with a hamstring strain. He restarted his rehab assignment at the beginning of the month and will now return to a spot on the Angels’ active roster, with Drew Pomeranz headed to the IL. Johnson will be an option for the final spot in the rotation that’s currently being held by Alek Manoah, who has been pitching in bulk relief.

Ryan Johnson will begin a rehab assignment with Low-A Rancho Cucamonga on Sunday.

Johnson was pulled off his rehab assignment two weeks ago because of a hamstring issue, but the right-hander has recovered and faced live hitting in Arizona. The 23-year-old will likely need a few rehab appearances before being ready to join the Angels’ pitching staff.

Ryan Johnson was removed from Monday’s minor league rehab start in extended spring training with a hamstring injury.

Angels manager Kurt Suzuki told reporters Johnson will undergo further evaluation and testing after feeling a tweak in his hamstring. The 23-year-old threw just two pitches prior to departing the contest. Johnson has been on the shelf since early April recovering from a viral infection.

Angels placed RHP Ryan Johnson on the 15-day injured list, retroactive to April 3, with a viral infection.

Johnson winds up requiring a trip to the injured list after being scratched from Sunday’s start against the Mariners due to illness. The 23-year-old’s absence seems to pave the way for pitching prospect George Klassen to get some run in the rotation for at least another turn or two.

Ryan Johnson was scratched from his scheduled start against the Mariners on Sunday due to illness.

There had been speculation when George Klassen was announced as the starter on Sunday that Johnson was simply getting booted from the rotation after being shelled in his first start, but it sounds like he’s just a bit under the weather. No word yet on when he’ll take his next turn in the Halos’ rotation.

Jarren Duran went 2-for-3 with a two-run homer and a walk as the Red Sox topped the Angels 7-5 on Sunday night.

The homer was his 13th, so power production hasn’t really been his issue. However, Duran came into this one hitless in his previous four games. It was his first multihit game since June 16 and his first time reaching base safely three times in a game since May 30. His OBP is sitting at .259, compared to .346, .342 and .332 the previous three years.

Aroldis Chapman surrendered his first homer of the year but still picked up his 18th save Sunday against the Angels.

Chapman gave up a solo shot to Zach Neto while pitching with a three-run lead. He struck out two of the other three batters he faced. Chapman, who was picked for his ninth All-Star team on Saturday, has a 2.36 ERA and a 35/12 K/BB through 26 2/3 innings.

Willson Contreras

Willson Contreras hit a three-run homer and walked against the Angels in Sunday’s victory.

Contreras’s 20th homer came in his 86th game of the season. Last year, he hit 20 in 135 games for the Cardinals. He’s now just four shy of his career high from 2019, when he hit 24 in 105 games for the Cubs. Unfortunately, this might be Contreras’s last action for a bit. MLB is expected to hand down a decision on his appeal of a seven-game suspension on Monday. Even if it’s dropped to six games, that’d still put him out until after the break.

Zach Neto finished 3-for-5 with a homer and a double against the Red Sox on Sunday night.

Neto hit the first homer allowed by Aroldis Chapman this season, sending a 96.5-mph fastball 396 feet to left. It was his 19th homer, which is second behind Colson Montgomery at 23 among those who primarily play shortstop. He’s hit nine in his last 27 games.

After four straight hitless games, Jo Adell went 3-for-4 with two RBI against the Red Sox on Sunday.

None of Adell’s hits left the bat at over 84 mph, but he managed a couple of liners that dropped in front of infielders and a groundball single. Adell had been in a 1-for-21 slump that dropped his average to .239.

Ranger Suarez left his start Sunday with left adductor tightness, according to the Red Sox.

One imagines Suarez will be placed on the IL prior to Tuesday’s game. Even if this is minor, a 15-day IL stint would cost him just one start next weekend and allow him to return the fifth day after the All-Star break.

Manny Machado hit a three-run homer and walked three times as the Padres beat the Dodgers 5-2 on Sunday Night Baseball.

Machado was intentionally walked with two on and two out in the fifth, after which Jack Dreyer got Gavin Sheets to ground out. He came up again with two on in the seventh, but this time there was a righty in the game, no base open and one out. He was pitched to, and he homered just over the wall in center on an 0-2 middle-middle fastball from Kyle Hurt. It was Machado’s fourth homer in eight games and sixth in 14 games.

JP Sears blanked the Dodgers five innings to earn a win on Sunday Night Baseball.

Sears gave up six hard-hit balls but just one hit, which was a single from Miguel Rojas in the fifth. He also threw first-pitch strikes to only eight of 17 batters. Still, he was very successful, obviously. The victory makes him 2-1 with a 4.70 ERA in his three starts for the Padres this year. He’ll probably stay in the rotation for now and face the Blue Jays next weekend.

Mason Miller was perfect in the ninth for his 22nd save Sunday against the Dodgers.

Miller got one strikeout tonight, which was actually his first in three appearances. He averaged 102.1 mph with his 10 fastballs. Miller has pitched on back-to-back days now, so he might be iffy for Monday. The Padres did use him three straight days once back in April.
