Rest-of-Season Projections
2026 Fantasy Outlook
Joyce experienced diminished velocity at the onset of 2025 and was subsequently placed on the injured list due to right shoulder inflammation. His recovery from the injury was slow with the 24-year-old even pausing his throwing program due to continued discomfort. It turns out Joyce needed season-ending surgery to repair his labrum, which he underwent last May. It's unclear where the hard-throwing righty is currently at in his throwing program, but he's currently one of the top in-house candidates to close for the Angels in 2026. This, of course, assumes he's back to full health and he returns to pre-injury form. Los Angeles could also sign or trade for a more established closer in the interim. These are all big "ifs", making Joyce difficult to count on for fantasy purposes in 2026. Read Past Outlooks
Signed a one-year contract with the Angels in March of 2026.
Faces hitters Tuesday
Joyce (shoulder) threw live batting practice Tuesday, Jeff Fletcher of The Orange County Register reports.
Analysis
It's the first time Joyce has thrown against live hitters since he underwent surgery in July 2025 to repair his labrum. The Angels still don't have a firm timeline in place for the right-hander's return, but he will likely require a lengthy rehab assignment before being cleared to return to Los Angeles' bullpen.

Past Fantasy Outlooks
2025
2024
2023
Joyce was rusty during spring training, walking nine over 7.1 innings before he was optioned to the minors. He spent several months in Triple-A, but was recalled by Los Angeles in June and deployed in high-leverage immediately. He produced a respectable 2.08 ERA, 1.15 WHIP and 33:14 K:BB over 34.2 innings and clocked the fastest pitch in the majors last season at 105.5 miles per hour. Joyce even spent time as the Angels' closer after they traded their veteran relievers at the deadline. He collected four saves in just over one month before a shoulder injury ended his season prematurely. Joyce appeared set to enter 2025 as the Angels' primary closer, but Kenley Jansen is poised to fill that job after signing a one-year contract. Joyce should see occasional save opportunities but is likely to work as the primary setup man if Jansen can remain healthy.
