Silseth underwent season-ending surgery on his right elbow Tuesday, Jeff Fletcher of The Orange County Register reports.
The specifics of Silseth's operation are unknown, but he didn't receive Tommy John surgery and is expected to be fully recovered by the time spring training begins. The 24-year-old righty allowed six earned runs in eight innings over two big-league starts this year, and he'll finish with a 6.35 ERA through 28.1 frames in Triple-A.

Angels' Chase Silseth: Goes on Triple-A IL
Rotowire
Triple-A Salt Lake placed Silseth (elbow) on its 7-day injured list Wednesday.
After being reinstated from the Angels' 60-day injured list and optioned to Triple-A on June 25 following a prolonged absence due to right elbow inflammation, Silseth turned in a 3.38 ERA, 1.31 WHIP and 7:7 K:BB over 16 innings across four outings with Salt Lake before succumbing to another setback with the elbow. The Angels had labeled Silseth's injury as discomfort coming out of his most recent start for Salt Lake on July 28, but a formal diagnosis for his injury hasn't been provided. In any case, Silseth doesn't look like he'll be back pitching for Salt Lake anytime soon, which will hurt his chances of building a case for a return to the big leagues.

Angels' Chase Silseth: Still dealing with elbow issue
Rotowire
Silseth continues to be bothered by discomfort in his elbow, per the Associated Press.
Silseth was pulled from his most recent start in Triple-A after 2.1 scoreless innings, and Jeff Fletcher of The Orange County Register notes that the right-hander "is getting checked out." Silseth was expected to be part of the Angels' rotation at the outset of the season but made just two starts -- and gave up seven runs over eight frames -- before landing on the IL due to inflammation in his pitching elbow. The hurler was activated in late June and subsequently sent to Triple-A, where we had been pitching up until the elbow issue resurfaced.

Angels' Chase Silseth: Moving out of Triple-A rotation
Rotowire
Silseth was removed from Triple-A Salt Lake's rotation after giving up six runs (five earned) on 10 hits and two walks while striking out one batter over 5.2 innings in his most recent start June 27, Sam Blum of The Athletic reports.
Silseth won the Angels' No. 5 starter job coming out of spring training, but he made just two turns through the rotation before landing on the 60-day injured list in April with elbow inflammation. Even though he's now considered fully healthy and the Halos' starting pitching depth has only been further tested by injuries as the season has unfolded, the Angels weren't willing to open a rotation spot for Silseth after he struggled across his five-start rehab assignment in the minors. Silseth didn't show much improvement June 27 in his first start since being activated, so he'll now head to the Triple-A bullpen in what's expected to be a temporary move while he looks to improve his control and regain velocity following his recent absence due to the elbow injury. The Angels are still seemingly viewing Silseth as a starter over the long haul, but he doesn't look as though he'll be a realistic option for the big-league rotation anytime soon.

Angels' Chase Silseth: Activated, optioned to Triple-A
Rotowire
The Angels reinstated Silseth (elbow) from the 60-day injured list Tuesday and optioned him to Triple-A Salt Lake.
Silseth has allowed 14 earned runs at Triple-A across just 12.1 innings over three starts since beginning his rehab assignment. Although he seems to have made a full recovery from the elbow injury that forced him onto the IL in April, his poor performance will keep him in the minors for the time being. If the 24-year-old righty is able to right the ship, he may be able to reclaim a spot in Los Angeles' rotation.

Angels' Chase Silseth: Works 4.2 innings
Rotowire
Silseth (elbow) allowed five earned runs on eight hits and three walks while striking out two across 4.2 innings in a rehab outing with Triple-A Salt Lake on Friday.
The surface stats aren't encouraging for Silseth, but he built up to 92 pitches. The Angels were originally expected to activate him and insert him back into the rotation this past Wednesday against the Athletics, but the big club ultimately had him make one more tune-up outing in the minors. After another poor showing Friday, Silseth has now allowed 14 earned runs across 12.1 frames with Salt Lake. The underwhelming results could cause the Angels to reassess his role in the short term, as he might be activated from the 60-day injured list and optioned to Triple-A once his 30-day rehab window draws to a close.

Angels' Chase Silseth: Set for another rehab start
Rotowire
Silseth (elbow) will make another rehab start with Triple-A Salt Lake on Friday, Sam Blum of The Athletic reports.
Silseth is set for a fifth rehab start and third with Salt Lake. The 24-year-old has been on the injured list since April 8 due right elbow inflammation, but he appears to be closing in on a return from the 60-day injured list. Through two starts at Triple-A, Silseth has struggled overall, surrendering nine runs on 11 hits and eight walks while striking out seven batters over 7.2 innings. He'll look to put together a more successful outing Friday versus Reno. If Silseth performs well, he could come off the IL as soon as June 26 against the Athletics to fill the vacant No. 5 spot in the Angels rotation.

Angels' Chase Silseth: Goes five innings in rehab start
Rotowire
Silseth (elbow) struck out four and allowed three earned runs on seven hits and three walks over five innings in his rehab start Sunday with Triple-A Salt Lake.
Making the fourth start of his rehab assignment and his second in a row with Salt Lake, Silseth built up to 78 pitches. Though he threw only 47 strikes, issued three free passes and uncorked one wild pitch, Silseth's outing still represented a step forward from his last rehab start Tuesday, when he walked five over 2.2 innings. According to MLB.com, Angels manager Ron Washington said that Silseth could return from the 60-day injured list to make his next appearance with the big club, though a decision on that front will depend on how the right-hander feels physically coming out of the Triple-A start.

Angels' Chase Silseth: Works four frames in rehab start
Rotowire
Silseth (elbow) struck out seven over four scoreless innings while allowing three hits and no walks in his second rehab start Thursday in the rookie-level Arizona Complex League.
Silseth has now turned in seven scoreless frames over his first two rehab outings in Arizona. Though Silseth has yet to walk a batter in either start, he hasn't exhibited pristine control, as he's uncorked two wild pitches and has hit two batters between those contests. More importantly, however, Silseth hasn't experienced any setbacks with his right elbow and has continued to increase his workload. He built up to 56 pitches Thursday and could reach the 70-pitch mark in his third rehab start, which will likely come Tuesday or Wednesday with a yet-to-be-determined affiliate. After he completes his next rehab start, Silseth could be cleared to return from the 60-day injured list and slot back into the Angels rotation.

Angels' Chase Silseth: Kicks off rehab assignment
Rotowire
Silseth (elbow) threw three scoreless innings Friday, allowing one hit and striking out three batters in a rehab appearance with the Angels' Arizona Complex League team.
Silseth looked good in the outing and threw 23 of his 39 pitches for strikes. The right-hander has been on the shelf since April 8 but is nearing eligibility to return from the 60-day IL. Silseth will almost certainly need at least one, and likely multiple, additional rehab starts before he's ready to be activated. With the struggling Reid Detmers demoted to the minors Saturday, there is a space in the big-league rotation available for Silseth upon his return.

Angels' Chase Silseth: Throwing bullpen sessions
Rotowire
Silseth (elbow) tossed 25-pitch bullpen sessions May 17 and May 20, MLB.com reports.
Silseth has been gradually progressing from the right elbow inflammation that he initially felt in a start against Boston on April 7. The right-hander was moved to the 60-day injured list April 30 and isn't eligible to be activated until June 7. Given the length of his layoff, Silseth will almost certainly need multiple minor-league rehab appearances before he's ready to return to the Angels rotation.

The Angels transferred Silseth to the 60-day injured list Tuesday.
Silseth has been on the injured list since April 8 due to right elbow inflammation. He has not thrown at all since landing on the IL and does not have a clear timetable to return, though he won't be eligible to come off the injured list until June 7.

Angels' Chase Silseth: Back from injured list
Rotowire
The Angels reinstated Silseth from the 7-day concussion IL on Thursday.
Silseth landed on the 7-day injured list Aug. 29, but lingering discomfort and uneasiness prolonged his stay. He made two rehab starts with Triple-A Salt Lake, giving up two runs over 3.2 innings while striking out five batters and walking sixth, and he is now set to make his final major-league start of the season Friday versus Oakland. Kolton Ingram was optioned to Salt Lake in a corresponding move.

Angels' Chase Silseth: Makes second rehab start
Rotowire
Silseth (concussion) made his second rehab start with Triple-A Salt Lake on Friday, striking out four and scattering two hits and four walks over 3.1 scoreless innings.
Silseth retired just one batter while giving up two runs in his first rehab outing for Salt Lake this past Sunday, but he fared much better while returning to the bump five days later. Though he wasn't especially efficient, Silseth stretched out to 60 pitches (29 strikes) and looks as though he'll be a candidate to return from the 7-day injured list for the final week of the season. Silseth could slot into the Angels rotation as soon as next Wednesday against the Rangers, though next weekend's series versus Oakland might be a more realistic target for his return.

Angels' Chase Silseth: Inefficient in short rehab start
Rotowire
Silseth (concussion) recorded one out and allowed two earned runs on three hits and two walks in his rehab start Sunday for Triple-A Salt Lake.
Silseth spotted just 14 of his 30 pitches for strikes in what was his first outing since he landed on the Angels' 7-day injured list Aug. 29 after being diagnosed with a concussion. It's unclear whether the Angels' plan was for Silseth to make only a brief rehab start Sunday, or if he was lifted from the outing early due to some sort of physical issue. Even if Silseth came out of the rehab start with a clean bill of health and is activated from the IL to fill the opening in the big club's six-man rotation this coming weekend in Minnesota, he could be held to a limited pitch count in his return.

Angels' Chase Silseth: Making rehab start Sunday
Rotowire
Silseth (concussion) is making a rehab start with Triple-A Salt Lake on Sunday, Erica Weston of Bally Sports West reports.
The right-hander continues to work his way back from the concussion he suffered on a cross-infield throw in late August, and his return to game action is a strong indication he's close to rejoining the Angels. If he requires only the one rehab start, Silseth could be back in the Halos' rotation next weekend in Minnesota.

Angels' Chase Silseth: Return date uncertain
Rotowire
Angels manager Phil Nevin said Monday that Silseth (concussion) won't be an option to start Wednesday's series finale in Seattle, Jeff Fletcher of The Orange County Register reports. "There's just little minor things that are still affecting him a little bit," Nevin said of Silseth. "He's building up his workouts. He's building up his bullpens...got to get through everything without any sort of discomfort and any uneasiness."
Silseth has seemingly made progress in his recovery from the concussion since landing on the 7-day injured list Aug. 29, but the young right-hander looks like he won't be an option to pitch this week while he continues to build his arm back up following the recent shutdown. The Angels will thus need to break in a new starter into their six-man rotation Wednesday, though a replacement has yet to be named.

Angels' Chase Silseth: Won't pitch this weekend
Rotowire
Manager Phil Nevin said Wednesday that Silseth (concussion) won't be activated from the 7-day injured list to pitch during the Angels' four-game series with the Guardians that begins Thursday, Jeff Fletcher of The Orange County Register reports.
The Angels are still planning to maintain a six-man rotation even though Silseth won't be able to pitch this weekend. Anaheim is set to call up Davis Daniel from Triple-A Salt Lake to fill the sixth spot in the rotation Thursday, while Griffin Canning, Tyler Anderson and Kenny Rosenberg have been named as the Angels' starters from Friday through Sunday. According to MLB.com, Silseth is still dealing with some discomfort after he sustained a concussion when he was hit in the head by an errant throw in his Aug. 26 start versus the Mets.
