D-backs bring back Pavin Smith, start him at DH

Davis went on the bereavement list Wednesday. He has a 3.52 ERA in 29 relief appearances for the White Sox this season.

Missing most of last year with injury seemed like it might kill Siri’s career, but he got a chance with the Angels in mid-May and has been decent in hitting .234/.290/.406 in 217 plate appearances. He’s not a starter going forward, and teams typically don’t love using bench spots on players as strikeout prone as Siri, so he’s probably not a lock for a major league contract if he’s set free this winter. The Angels could keep him by paying him around $1.5 million-$2 million in arbitration, but it’d make more sense to set him free and offer him a minor league deal to come back.

Giving up a three-run homer, in this case to Cal Raleigh, would normally be enough to doom Detmers to a loss or a no-decision. However, with some actual run support tonight, he improved to 6-8 on the year. He had been 1-7 with seven no-decisions while allowing two runs or more, though, really, that he’s won just four of 14 starts in which he allowed one or zero runs is just as ugly. He’s due to face the Twins on Saturday, though since he’s now over his career high for innings, the Angels might play around with his schedule and have him make just one more start the rest of the way.

With two outs, J.P. Crawford hit a liner down the first base line that might have gone for extra bases under normal circumstances. However, the Angels were playing the lines with the tying run on first base, and it turned into an easy grab for Vaughn Grissom. Joyce allowed single runs in his previous two appearances, resulting in a blown save Saturday. Still, he’s been fine in accruing a 3.38 ERA in 13 1/3 innings overall.

Anderson struck out five and walked none, but the hits he allowed came in bunches in the first and third innings. Anderson is due to make two more starts Sunday against the Rockies and then the next Saturday against the Angels. Still, with the Mariners all but out of the race, we wouldn’t be surprised if at least that last start disappears.

Moore has 13 days left to give the Angels any reason to think he’s ready for a role on their 2027 club. He’s at .172/.231/.253 in 108 plate appearances so far, with an unfathomably low two runs scored and a 31 percent strikeout rate.

Raleigh’s homer off Reid Detmers and J.P. Crawford’s solo hot versus Blake Weiman accounted for all of the Mariners’ runs tonight. Raleigh now has 22 homers, 10 of which have come in his last 26 games.

Unlike Manny Machado and Fernando Tatis Jr., Bogaerts didn’t homer tonight. He did, however, deliver the hardest-hit ball of the game with his 112-mph single in the eighth. It topped his previous season-high EV by one mph, and it was the third-hardest ball he’s come up with in four years in San Diego. Bogaerts has had a rough season, but his exit velocity numbers are all right around or a little better than his career averages. We don’t feel great about him being signed for seven (seven!) more years after this one, but there’s a decent chance his numbers will bounce back some in 2027.

Mize got the job done, but it certainly wasn’t in any sort of encouraging fashion. His fastball velocity was down one mph from his season average, and he got a visit from the trainer at one point. He finished the game having allowed eight hits and two walks while striking out none. He recorded two missed swings and finished with a 12 percent CSW. If he hadn’t been facing the Rockies, this probably wouldn’t have gone nearly as well.

The Padres went right back to their late-game trio of Bradgley Rodriguez, Adrian Morejon and Miller tonight after avoiding all three on Sunday. They might be down again on Tuesday, now that they’ve all worked three times in four days. Yuki Matsui will be available to close, though.
