Latest news
The Angels placed Joyce on the 15-day injured list Thursday, retroactive to Sept. 21, due to right shoulder impingement.
With the injury, Joyce finishes the season with a 4.11 ERA, 1.11 WHIP, five saves and three blown saves in 15.1 innings across 16 games. He was unable to debut for the Angels until August while rehabbing from shoulder surgery. Anaheim recalled Trevor Martin from Triple-A Salt Lake in a corresponding move Thursday.

Joyce allowed two runs on two hits and struck out three without walking a batter over one inning, taking a blown save in Thursday's 5-4 extra-inning win over the Twins.
Joyce was the reason it got to extras -- he allowed a two-run home run to Walker Jenkins in the top of the ninth inning, squandering a 3-1 lead in the process. With four runs allowed over his last four innings, Joyce has shown some struggles late in the season. After spending the first four months of the campaign rehabbing from shoulder surgery, the right-hander has posted a 4.40 ERA, 1.19 WHIP and 18:9 K:BB while adding five saves, two holds and three blown saves over 14.1 innings since coming off the IL in early August.

Joyce picked up the save Monday against the Mariners. He allowed no hits and two walks with no strikeouts over a scoreless inning.
Joyce was wild, throwing just nine of 20 pitches for strikes, but he was able to retire the side with no damage done to secure his fifth save of the season. Walks notwithstanding, this was a nice rebound for the hard-throwing right-hander, as he took a blown save Saturday and allowed a run in both of his previous two outings. Joyce has emerged as the top ninth-inning option for the Angels, posting a 3.38 ERA, 1.13 WHIP and 15:9 K:BB in 13.1 frames.

Joyce was charged with his second blown save of the season in Saturday's 6-5 extra-inning loss to the Nationals, allowing one run on one hit and one walk in the ninth inning. He struck out one.
The Angels staged a late rally to take a 5-4 lead in the top of the ninth inning, but Joyce couldn't close the door in the bottom of the frame. The right-hander is 4-for-6 in converting save chances since taking over the closer role in mid-August, and over 10 appearances since he's posted a 4.82 ERA, 1.18 WHIP and 12:6 K:BB in 9.1 innings.

Joyce earned the save against Boston on Wednesday, allowing a run on one hit and one walk in the ninth inning. He struck out one.
The hard-throwing right-hander wasn't sharp, tossing only 13 of his 22 pitches for strikes, but he held on for the save Wednesday. With Jordan Romano in Colorado and Kirby Yates in Pittsburgh, Joyce should continue to be viewed as the favorite for saves in the Angels' bullpen from here on out. He has a 3.18 ERA, 0.97 WHIP and 14:6 K:BB with four saves (five chances) over 11.1 innings so far this year.

Joyce (0-1) blew a save and took the loss against the Rangers on Friday, allowing two unearned runs on two hits and one walk with one strikeout while recording two outs in the 10th inning.
Joyce was summoned to close out a one-run lead in the 10th inning and recorded two quick outs. It was downhill from there, though, as he yielded an RBI double before the game-winning run scored on a throwing error. Despite the end result, the 25-year-old has now gone seven straight outings without allowing an earned run since making his season debut Aug. 5. He owns three saves and one hold over that span to go along with a strong 9:2 K:BB and should remain the club's favorite for save chances down the stretch.
