Silseth has "probably put himself in the best position for the opportunity" if Angels manager Kurt Suzuki removes Jordan Romano from the closer role, Jeff Fletcher of the Orange County Register reports. Romano has blown back-to-back save opportunities and Suzuki was noncommittal Thursday when asked about his closer situation. Silseth has registered three holds this season, collecting a 2.84 ERA and 8:6 K:BB over 6.1 innings along the way. Drew Pomeranz paces the team with five holds and is also an option to replace Romano if a change is made, though he might pitch the ninth inning only if the opposition has lefties due up. A former starter, Silseth did a bit of closing last season at Triple-A Salt Lake, and he's posted a 3.03 ERA and 31:24 K:BB over 32.2 innings across 27 career relief appearances at the major-league level.

Chase Silseth: Breaking News
Extremely wild Saturday
Silseth allowed one run on four walks and no hits while striking out one batter over one-third of an inning in relief against the Reds on Saturday. He also tossed three wild pitches. Silseth entered in the bottom of the eighth inning with two outs, Ke'Bryan Hayes on second base and the Angels down 5-3. The righty reliever uncorked a wild pitch to send Hayes to third, then walked TJ Friedl. Things got even worse from there for Silseth, as he threw another wild pitch to allow Hayes to cross the plate, then walked three batters in a row -- uncorking yet another wild pitch on one of the ball-fours -- to allow another run. Silseth's final line could have been even uglier had Eugenio Suarez not struck out with the bases loaded to end the frame. Overall, Silseth threw just 10 strikes on 25 pitches. He had been fine coming into Saturday, posting a 1.80 ERA, 1.20 WHIP and 6:2 K:BB over five innings spanning seven appearances, so the hope for Silseth and the Angels is that his bout of wildness Saturday was just an anomaly.
Will be used as reliever in 2026
Angels general manager Perry Minasian said Monday that Silseth will be used as a reliever in 2026, Jeff Fletcher of the Orange County Register reports. All 10 of Silseth's appearances for the Angels in 2025 came out of the bullpen, and 11 of his 18 outings at Triple-A Salt Lake were in relief. The 25-year-old is out of minor-league options and will likely begin next season in a middle relief capacity.
