Moves to 60-day IL
The Angels transferred Kochanowicz (elbow) to the 60-day injured list Wednesday.
Analysis
Kochanowicz is slated to undergo Tommy John surgery after recently 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.

2025 Fantasy Outlook
It feels like Kochanowicz arrived in the major leagues about 40 years too late. Back in the 80s, a big, sturdy right-hander with good control, heavy ground ball tendencies and virtually zero swing and miss ability probably would have had a long career. In the modern game, his place is less certain, even after he managed to post a solid 3.99 ERA in 11 starts for the Angels in 2024 in spite of a microscopic 9.4 percent strikeout rate. Kochanowicz will be part of the rotation competition for the Angels in 2025 and might very well begin the season in the big leagues, but his profile gives him a very narrow path to fantasy viability.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
Secure in rotation?
Manager Ron Washington said Sunday that there's been no conversations about removing Kochanowicz from the starting rotation, reports Sam Blum of The Athletic.
Analysis
That hardly means the right-hander's rotation spot is secure, but the Angels aren't entertaining a role change yet, at least publicly. Kochanowicz made his MLB debut last season and had a 3.99 ERA, 1.19 WHIP and 25:10 K:BB across 65.1 innings, but he's struggled to a 5.61 ERA and 1.63 WHIP through 13 starts in 2025. He's given up exactly four runs in each of his past four outings, and Kochanowicz may need to turn the corner soon in order to stick in the rotation.
