The fireballer was on the 15-day IL but has been moved to the 60-day IL due to the acquisitions of Lucas Giolito and Reynaldo Lopez on Wednesday night. Joyce turned in a 4.50 ERA across five appearances with the Angels this season and tossed a 4.60 ERA across 15 2/3 innings at Triple-A.

Angels manager Phil Nevin said Ben Joyce is going to keep throwing in Arizona and it’s 3-4 weeks until he can get off a mound.
