Kochanowicz's Tommy John surgery on his right elbow was deemed "successful," per MLB.com.

EDGE Analysis

That's obviously good news for the right-handed hurler, who went under the knife in mid-June. Kochanowicz will be out for the remainder of this season and for at least a portion of 2027, though he could potentially return to action late in the campaign. He posted a 6.19 ERA, 1.58 WHIP and 47:36 K:BB over 64 frames spanning 13 starts this season before being sidelined.

The Angels transferred Kochanowicz (elbow) to the 60-day injured list Wednesday.

EDGE Analysis

Kochanowicz is slated to undergo Tommy John surgery after being diagnosed with a torn UCL in his right elbow, so a move to the 60-day IL was expected. He'll finish the 2026 campaign with a 6.19 ERA and 1.58 WHIP across 64 innings (13 starts) and will likely remain out until late 2027 or early 2028.

Kochanowicz (elbow) will undergo Tommy John surgery, Erica Weston of Bally Sports West reports.

EDGE Analysis

Kochanowicz landed on the injured list Sunday due to right elbow inflammation, and an MRI revealed Tuesday that he suffered a torn UCL. The procedure will bring his season to an early end and force him to miss most, if not all, of the 2027 campaign as well.

The Angels placed Kochanowicz on the 15-day injured list Sunday due to right elbow inflammation.

EDGE Analysis

Kochanowicz acknowledged Saturday that he felt "something in his elbow" during his last three starts, per Jeff Fletcher of The Orange County Register. He'll undergo an MRI on Monday to determine the severity of the injury and establish a recovery timeline, but given that it's an elbow issue, it wouldn't be surprising for Kochanowicz to remain on the IL well past the 15-day minimum. Sam Aldegheri was recalled form Triple-A Salt Lake in a corresponding move, but Caden Dana and George Klassen are candidates to enter the Angels' rotation in Kochanowicz's absence, per Rhett Bollinger of MLB.com.

Kochanowicz (2-5) allowed seven runs (six earned) on six hits and a walk while striking out one over one-third of an inning to take the loss versus the Dodgers on Saturday.

EDGE Analysis

Kochanowicz didn't make it all the way through the Dodgers' lineup before he was pulled. Things have taken a turn for the worse for the right-hander, who has now allowed 15 runs (14 earned) over 6.2 innings across his last three starts. He's at a 6.05 ERA, 1.58 WHIP and 47:36 K:BB through 64 innings across 13 starts this season. Given his recent performance and his team situation, Kochanowicz is best avoided in most fantasy formats. He is tentatively projected for a home start versus the Rays in his next outing, assuming the Angels don't opt to pivot to another option. He allowed three runs on five hits and four walks over 2.1 innings versus the Rays on May 31.

Kochanowicz (2-4) took the loss against the Rays on Sunday, allowing three runs on five hits and four walks with one strikeout over 2.1 innings.

EDGE Analysis

Kochanowicz allowed a solo homer in the first inning and struggled with control, throwing just 35 of 68 pitches for strikes in his shortest outing of the season. The 25-year-old endured an awful May, posting a 7.85 ERA while going 0-4 across six starts. He owns a 5.23 ERA, 1.48 WHIP and 46:35 K:BB over 63.2 innings this year and lines up for a road matchup with the daunting Dodgers lineup next weekend.

Kochanowicz didn't factor into the decision in Tuesday's 10-6 win over the Tigers, surrendering five runs on six hits and two walks over four-plus innings. He struck out four.

EDGE Analysis

The right-hander kept the ball in the yard, but there wasn't much else positive to take away from the performance. Kochanowicz has gone eight straight starts without getting into the win column, going 0-3 over that span with a 5.64 ERA, 1.43 WHIP and 33:20 K:BB in 44.2 innings, but he has managed four quality starts during that time. He'll try to end his winless streak in his next trip to the mound, which lines up to come on the road this weekend in Tampa Bay.

Kochanowicz allowed three runs on three hits, four walks and a hit batsman while striking out seven over six innings in a no-decision Wednesday versus the Athletics.

EDGE Analysis

Kochanowicz gave up all three runs over the first two innings before settling down to earn a quality start. The 25-year-old had given up a total of 13 runs (12 earned) over his last two outings, so this was a positive effort overall, though he's still walking too many batters. On the year, he has a 4.55 ERA, 1.34 WHIP and 41:29 K:BB through 57.1 innings across 10 starts. He's winless over his last seven outings, which he'll try to change next week in his projected road start versus the Tigers.

Kochanowicz (2-3) allowed six runs on seven hits and two walks while striking out four over six innings to take the loss Friday versus the Dodgers.

EDGE Analysis

Even with a better effort, Kochanowicz was in trouble, as the Angels failed to give him run support. Three homers by the Dodgers accounted for all six runs on his line, the third time this year he's given up that many runs. The long ball hasn't typically been a problem for the right-hander, who had allowed just two homers over his first eight starts of the year. He's now at a 4.56 ERA, 1.36 WHIP and 34:25 K:BB through 51.1 innings over nine starts. Kochanowicz is lined up to make his next start at home versus the Athletics, but with a high walk rate (4.4 BB/9) and low strikeout rate (6.0 K/9), he's a risky fantasy option in most matchups.

Kochanowicz (2-2) took the loss Saturday, coughing up seven runs (six earned) on nine hits and two walks over four-plus innings as the Angels were routed 14-1 by the Blue Jays. He failed to strike out a batter.

EDGE Analysis

The right-hander's pitch-to-contact ways kept the Halos in the game for four frames, but the wheels came off for Kochanowicz in the fifth as the first six Toronto batters reached base before he got the hook after 84 pitches (49 strikes). It was his worst outing of the season, but Kochanowicz has gone five straight starts without getting into the win column while posting a 4.39 ERA, 1.40 WHIP and 18:12 K:BB in 28.2 innings over that stretch. He'll try to bounce back in his next trip to the mound, which lines up to come at home next weekend against the Dodgers.
