Kikuchi Returns from 60-Day IL to Start vs. Rangers
The Angels activate their $63MM left-hander after a lengthy shoulder injury absence, slotting him back into the rotation immediately.
Yusei Kikuchi is being activated off the 60-day IL and will start today's game against the Rangers. He was placed on the IL in early May with left shoulder inflammation after exiting a start against the White Sox with reduced velocity. Kikuchi avoided surgery and has been rehabbing since. Before the injury, he posted a 5.81 ERA in 31 innings, though underlying metrics suggested performance close to his solid 2025 season.
