2025 Fantasy Outlook
As is their wont, the Angels promoted Dana from Double-A to the majors for his big-league debut at the beginning of September. He made three starts, largely struggling to the tune of a 9.58 ERA, 2.03 WHIP and 8:7 K:BB in 10.1 innings before getting shut down for the year in what the team said was an effort to make sure he entered the offseason healthy. Dana was the second-youngest player in the majors (behind Jackson Chourio), and he turned 21 in December, so we shouldn't hold his struggles in the majors against him. He logged a 2.52 ERA, 0.94 WHIP and 20.1 K-BB% in 135.2 innings over 23 starts at Double-A, and he was the second-youngest pitcher at that level to log 100-plus innings. He has the secondary pitches to succeed, with a plus slider and a good enough changeup, however his 94-mph fastball was tattooed by big leaguers (.621 wOBA, .481 xwOBA). The 6-foot-4 righty is still young enough to be adding velocity to his fastball, but that is not a given. Dana should spend the majority of the year in the big-league rotation, health and success permitting. Read Past Outlooks
Dispatched to Triple-A
The Angels optioned Dana to Triple-A Salt Lake on Sunday.
ANALYSIS
Dana's stay with the Angels lasted just two days, as he was recalled from Triple-A on Friday and appeared out of the bullpen later that night in an 8-6 loss to the Guardians. Since he covered three innings and gave up two earned runs on four hits and one walk in that appearance, Dana was unlikely to be available for another day or two, so the Angels opted to swap him off the active roster in favor of a fresh arm in right-hander Michael Darrell-Hicks, who was called up from Salt Lake. Dana is expected to move back into the rotation upon his return to the Triple-A club.
