The Angels optioned Farris to Triple-A Salt Lake on Friday.
Farris earned his first win of the season Thursday in Baltimore with a scoreless inning of relief, but he's been jettisoned to the minors a day later. He'll be replaced on the roster by George Klassen, who is slated to be called up from Triple-A to start Friday's game in Miami.

Angels' Mitch Farris: Secures first career save
Rotowire
Farris picked up the save Sunday against the Giants. He allowed no earned runs on a hit and no walks while striking out one over two-thirds of an inning.
Farris entered with two runners on and one out in the ninth inning and surrendered a two-out, two-RBI double to Luis Arraez but was able to punch out Heliot Ramos to secure the victory for the Angels. It marked Farris' first big-league save, as the 25-year-old southpaw has posted a 3.53 ERA, 1.41 WHIP and 43:18 K:BB across 43.1 innings this season. Los Angeles' bullpen has been shaky and lacks a true closer, though Ryan Zeferjahn, who pitched the eighth inning Sunday, and Kirby Yates, who was likely unavailable after pitching the previous two days, remain the most likely candidates for saves.

Angels' Mitch Farris: Demoted Tuesday
Rotowire
The Angels optioned Farris to Triple-A Salt Lake on Tuesday.
The left-hander was called up by the Halos last week and had a decent showing in three appearances, allowing just one run with a 3:2 K:BB over 4.1 innings. Farris will return to Salt Lake -- where he opened the season as a starter -- but could rejoin the big club later in the campaign.

Angels' Mitch Farris: Recalled from Triple-A
Rotowire
The Angels recalled Farris from Triple-A Salt Lake on Monday.
He's taking the roster spot vacated by Ryan Johnson (illness). Farris posted a 6.66 ERA in five starts for the Angels in 2025 and struggled in his first outing this season at Salt Lake, but he will offer the bullpen some length.

Angels' Mitch Farris: Optioned to Triple-A
Rotowire
The Angels optioned Farris to Triple-A Salt Lake on Friday.
Farris had been pushing for a spot in the Opening Day rotation, but it seems he's fallen short. The 25-year-old lefty yielded 12 runs across six innings of work this spring, but he did showcase increased velocity, with his fastball sitting near 93 mph. With Farris out of the picture, it looks like the final two spots in the rotation will be decided between Grayson Rodriguez (elbow), Alek Manoah and Jack Kochanowicz.

Angels' Mitch Farris: Showing improved velocity
Rotowire
Farris allowed two runs on five hits with one strikeout and no walks over three innings during an exhibition game against Team Italy on Wednesday. According to Rhett Bollinger of MLB.com, the left-hander was sitting around 93 mph with his fastball.
Farris averaged 90.3 mph with his fastball as a rookie last season, as he made five starts and had a 6.66 ERA, 1.44 WHIP and 24:11 K:BB across 24.1 innings. The 25-year-old showed more strikeout potential in the minors with an 11.0 K/9 at Double-A, and a little more velocity could help to improve his results in the majors.

Angels' Mitch Farris: Ends year with third straight loss
Rotowire
Farris (1-3) allowed four runs on five hits and two walks while striking out five over five innings to take the loss versus the Royals on Thursday.
Farris got off to a decent start in his big-league career with two strong outings, but he allowed 16 runs (15 earned) over his last three appearances of 2025. He finishes the campaign with a 6.66 ERA, 1.44 WHIP and 24:11 K:BB over 24.1 innings across five starts in the majors. The southpaw figures to be in the competition for a rotation spot in 2026.

Angels' Mitch Farris: Earns quality start Sunday
Rotowire
Farris allowed two runs on three hits and one walk while striking out four over six-plus innings in a no-decision versus the Athletics on Sunday.
Farris wasn't able to come away with a win in his second big-league start, but he did earn his first quality start. Both runs against him came on solo homers, as Willie MacIver took him deep in the third inning and Tyler Soderstrom did the same in the seventh. Farris has allowed three runs across 11 innings over his two outings while posting a 7:3 K:BB. He's likely done enough to stay in the rotation at least as long as Tyler Anderson (oblique) is out, which could be the remainder of the season. Farris is lined up for a road start in Seattle for his next appearance.

Angels' Mitch Farris: Victorious in debut
Rotowire
Farris (1-0) picked up the win Tuesday against Kansas City, allowing one run on three hits and two walks across five innings. He struck out three.
Farris made his MLB debut Tuesday after being called up from Double-A Rocket City. The 24-year-old had posted a 4.27 ERA and 1.47 WHIP in 116 innings with Rocket City, but he had minimal trouble with the Royals. Farris' 11.0 K/9 at Double-A didn't quite translate, however. Given his performance, Farris figures to stick in the Angels' rotation, and his next start would likely come Sunday against the Athletics.

Angels' Mitch Farris: Set for major-league debut Tuesday
Rotowire
Farris will start Tuesday's game versus the Royals in Kansas City, Jeff Fletcher of The Orange County Register reports.
After having his contract selected from Double-A Rocket City on Monday, Farris will take the hill Tuesday for his MLB debut. The left-hander owns an impressive 28 percent strikeout rate over 116 innings with Rocket City, and he had covered at least six innings in five of his last six outings in the minors, logging a 2.52 ERA and 1.26 WHIP during that stretch. Farris should have the chance to make multiple turns through the Los Angeles rotation in September.

Angels' Mitch Farris: Contract selected
Rotowire
The Angels selected Farris' contract from Double-A Rocket City on Monday.
The Angels have yet to announce their probable pitchers for this week's series in Kansas City, but Farris is likely to fill one of the open slots. The left-hander has had a fine season with Rocket City, collecting a 4.27 ERA and 142:55 K:BB over 116 innings. He was acquired from Atlanta in a trade over the offseason and will be making his major-league debut when he gets into a game.
