Los Angeles Angels
2023 Fantasy Outlook
Daniel was called up to the Angels briefly last June, but he was sent back down two days later without seeing any game action. He otherwise spent the entire season with Triple-A Salt Lake, posting a 4.49 ERA and 1.21 WHIP over 21 starts. Daniel posted good strikeout numbers between three levels during his first pro season in 2021, but he curiously regressed last year, recording a modest 19.4% strikeout rate. His fastball tops out in the mid-90s, but it has good spin rate up in the zone and is complemented by a decent curveball. Daniel has also been working on improving his changeup, which could help him round out a more complete arsenal. There isn't front-of-rotation potential in Daniel's skill set, but he's worked almost exclusively as a starter in the minors and could compete for a back-end big-league rotation spot as soon as the upcoming campaign. He'll be an underdog to secure that role out of spring training and will most likely open the campaign back at Triple-A. Read Past Outlooks

Earns first win
PLos Angeles Angels
September 29, 2023
Daniel (1-1) picked up his first big-league win in Friday's 5-1 victory over Oakland, yielded two hits and a walk over five shutout innings out of the bullpen.
ANALYSIS
Daniel finished the game after starter Chase Silseth allowed one run through four frames. The rookie right-hander threw 47 of 61 pitches for strikes and worked around the only threat he faced in the ninth inning. Since being promoted to the big leagues earlier this month, the 26-year-old made three extended relief appearances for the Angels, registering a 2.19 ERA and 1.30 WHIP across 12.1 frames.
