Atlanta outrighted Daniel to Triple-A Gwinnett on Saturday.
Daniel lost his spot on Atlanta's 40-man roster but remains in the organization after clearing waivers. The 28-year-old has started in 16 of 17 appearances at the Triple-A level this season, posting a 5.20 ERA and 71:37 K:BB across 83 innings.

Braves' Davis Daniel: Sent to Triple-A
Rotowire
Atlanta optioned Daniel to Triple-A Gwinnett on Wednesday.
The transaction comes one day after Daniel was knocked around for five runs on seven hits and four walks over five innings in a loss to the Giants. Atlanta called up right-hander Hunter Stratton from Triple-A to provide a fresh arm in the bullpen for Wednesday's series finale with San Francisco, but it's not yet clear who will replace Daniel in the rotation.

Braves' Davis Daniel: Roughed up by Giants on Tuesday
Rotowire
Daniel (0-1) took the loss Tuesday against the Giants, allowing five runs on seven hits and four walks in five innings. He struck out three.
The Giants hit Daniel hard in the second inning, plating four runs and getting six batters to reach base during the frame. The 28-year-old right-hander was still able to eat five innings for Atlanta's injury-plagued rotation, and he at least appears to be stretched out for a traditional starter's workload after throwing 92 pitches in third outing of the season Tuesday. Daniels owns a dicey 5.40 ERA, 1.60 WHIP and 9:7 K:BB through his first 10 frames, and his next turn tentatively lines up for next week in Kansas City against the Royals.

Braves' Davis Daniel: Making another start
Rotowire
Daniel is slated to start Tuesday's game against the Giants in Atlanta, Mark Bowman of MLB.com reports.
Daniel will be making his second straight turn through the Atlanta rotation after he was called up from Triple-A Gwinnett on July 13 to start the big club's final game before the All-Star break. Though he took a no-decision and was limited to just 73 pitches in Atlanta's 5-4 loss to St. Louis, Daniel performed well in the start, striking out five while yielding one earned run on two hits and three walks in four innings. Daniel should be operating with fewer restrictions with his pitch count Tuesday and could stake a more permanent claim to a rotation spot with a strong showing against the Giants.

Braves' Davis Daniel: Fans five in no-decision
Rotowire
Daniel did not factor in the decision during Sunday's loss to St. Louis. He allowed a run on two hits and three walks over four innings while striking out five.
Daniel was promoted from Triple-A Gwinnett to make his first MLB appearance since April 27. He ran into some trouble in the first two frames and coughed up a run in the second inning before retiring seven of the last eight batters he faced. Daniel has posted a 3.27 ERA over 71.2 innings at the Triple-A level this season. As of now, it's unclear if he'll stick around with Atlanta after the All-Star break. There may be room for Daniel to carve out a role as the team deals with a banged-up rotation, including injuries to Chris Sale (ribs) and Spencer Schwellenbach (elbow).

Braves' Davis Daniel: Gets call to Atlanta
Rotowire
Atlanta recalled Daniel from Triple-A Gwinnett on Sunday.
Daniel was recently placed on Gwinnett's temporary inactive list earlier this week for the birth of his child, but he's ready to return to action and will end up joining the big club for the second time this season, and the right-hander will start Sunday in St. Louis. Atlanta has a pair of open spots in its rotation, so with a respectable showing, Daniel could begin the second half in a starting role. Over 14 appearances (13 starts) at Gwinnett this season, Daniel owns a 3.27 ERA, 1.21 WHIP and 59:31 K:BB across 71.2 innings.

Braves' Davis Daniel: Send back to Triple-A
Rotowire
Atlanta optioned Daniel to Triple-A Gwinnett on Monday.
Daniel's stay with the big club lasted just one day, with the right-hander tossing a scoreless inning out of the bullpen in Sunday's 6-4 loss to Arizona following his call-up from Triple-A. He'll likely slot back into the rotation with Gwinnett.

Braves' Davis Daniel: Gets call-up
Rotowire
Atlanta recalled Daniel from Triple-A Gwinnett on Sunday.
Daniel takes the spot on the 26-man roster created when Jesse Chavez was designated for assignment. Daniel has started three games at Triple-A this season, going 0-2 with a 4.63 ERA, 1.34 WHIP and 9:6 K:BB across 11.2 innings. The 27-year-old right-hander will likely serve as a long-relief option, though he could make a spot start or two while Spencer Strider (hamstring) is on the 15-day injured list.

Atlanta optioned Daniel to Triple-A Gwinnett on Wednesday.
After finishing the 2024 Triple-A season with a 5.42 ERA and 1.46 WHIP, Daniel was traded from the Angels to Atlanta in December. He was able to get through two scoreless innings during his lone spring appearance, but Atlanta will likely need to see more from him in the minors before giving him a chance in its starting rotation.

Braves' Davis Daniel: Traded to Atlanta

Atlanta acquired Daniel from the Angels on Friday in exchange for Mitch Farris.
Daniel had been designated for assignment by the Angels but will now join Atlanta's 40-man roster. The 27-year-old posted a 6.23 ERA and 28:6 K:BB over 30.1 innings in 2024 and will likely begin 2025 in the Triple-A Gwinnett rotation.

Angels' Davis Daniel: Designated for assignment
Rotowire
The Angels designated Daniel for assignment Wednesday.
The move frees up a spot on the 40-man roster for Chuckie Robinson, who was acquired from the White Sox. Daniel, 27, made six starts for the Angels in 2024, posting a 6.23 ERA and 28:6 K:BB over 30.1 innings. He has a solid 25.8 percent strikeout rate in the minors, so it's possible Daniel will draw interest via trade or waivers.

Angels' Davis Daniel: Sent back to Triple-A

The Angels optioned Daniel to Triple-A Salt Lake on Tuesday.
Daniel will head back to the minors just a day after he surrendered four earned runs over five innings during his start Monday against the Blue Jays. Kenny Rosenberg will come up from Salt Lake to fill the open roster spot, though Jack Kochanowicz is the most likely option to fill the fifth spot in the Halos' rotation.

Angels' Davis Daniel: Roughed up by Blue Jays
Rotowire
Daniel (1-4) took the loss Monday against Toronto, allowing four runs on eight hits and two walks across five innings. He struck out two.
All four runs attributed to Daniel came in the third inning, when he surrendered back-to-back doubles, an RBI single and a two-run home run, with the long ball coming off Leo Jimenez's bat. Daniel has surrendered at least four runs in back-to-back starts and has done so in four of six starts this season. Though Daniel is expected to remain in the rotation, the Angels could replace him with Jack Kochanowicz, who allowed two runs across 7.2 innings Sunday after being recalled from Double-A.

Angels' Davis Daniel: No longer starting Sunday
Rotowire
Daniel will not start Sunday's game against the Nationals, Rhett Bollinger of MLB.com reports.
The Angels had previously named Daniel as the starter for Sunday's series finale, even though he would be pitching on three days' rest after tossing 83 pitches in the first game of a doubleheader with the Yankees on Wednesday. However, the team will now switch course and call up Jack Kochanowicz from Double-A Rocket City to start Sunday instead of having Daniel take the hill on short rest. Daniel is a candidate to pitch Monday against the Blue Jays on regular rest, though the Angels haven't released their probable starters for the three-game home series.

Angels' Davis Daniel: Starting on three days' rest Sunday
Rotowire
Daniel will make his next start Sunday in Washington against the Nationals, Jeff Fletcher of The Orange County Register reports.
Daniel was roughed up in his most recent loss Wednesday in the first game of a doubleheader with the Yankees, taking a loss while giving up five earned runs on seven hits and two walks while striking out four. Even though Daniel handled a relatively standard workload (83 pitches) in that outing, the Angels will have the right-hander return to the mound on three days' rest rather than his usual four or five Sunday. The Angels haven't specifically said that Daniel will be on a workload restriction against the Nationals, though it wouldn't be surprising if that is the case.

Angels' Davis Daniel: Sputters against Yankees
Rotowire
Daniel (1-3) took the loss against the Yankees on Wednesday in Game 1 of a doubleheader, allowing five runs on seven hits and two walks while striking out four batters over 3.1 innings.
Daniel fell behind 2-0 after one inning and 3-0 after two before pitching his first scoreless frame in the third. However, he couldn't maintain any momentum in the fourth, as he allowed two of the three hitters he faced to reach base before getting the hook. Altogether, the rookie ended up allowing five runs, the third time in five starts he's given up that amount (though in one of those starts, only four of the runs were earned). Daniel has shown some promise too with a pair of strong starts during which he's given up just one earned run across a combined 13 frames, but his overall 6.04 ERA and 1.38 WHIP over 25.1 innings make him a volatile fantasy starter.

Angels' Davis Daniel: Drawing another start
Rotowire
Daniel is scheduled to start Tuesday's game against the Yankees on the road.
Daniel will stick around as the Angels' No. 5 starter for another turn after he showed well in his return to the big leagues this past Wednesday, when he limited the Rockies to one run over five innings while striking out five batters. The right-hander will draw a tougher test for his second turn through the rotation, but barring a disaster of an outing in The Bronx, Daniel should have some staying power in a starting role with the Halos.

Angels' Davis Daniel: Solid in no-decision
Rotowire
Daniel did not factor into the decision in a loss to the Rockies on Wednesday, allowing one run on five hits and one walk over five innings while striking out five.
Daniel got himself in trouble in the opening frame when he allowed three of the first five batters to reach, leading to one run coming home for Colorado. However, the right-hander settled in from that point on, hurling four shutout innings before being relieved by Jose Marte at the start of the sixth. Daniel had allowed at least four runs in each of his previous two starts coming in but now holds a robust 19:2 K:BB on the season. Daniel is expected to take the mound again next week against the Yankees in New York, assuming he earned himself at least another start with Wednesday's solid performance.

Angels' Davis Daniel: Receiving start Wednesday
Rotowire
Daniel is scheduled to start Wednesday's game against the Rockies in Anaheim.
The Halos brought Daniel up from Triple-A Salt Lake this past Friday, but after he wasn't needed in relief for any of the club's ensuing four contests, he'll step into the rotation spot that briefly belonged to Kenny Rosenberg. Daniel owns a 5.82 ERA over 17 innings in the majors this season, but his underlying metrics (3.69 SIERA, 4.35 xERA, 18.8 K-BB%) offer hope that he'll turn in better surface numbers moving forward.
