Ben Joyce returns to baseball activities

Los Angeles Angels pitcher Ben Joyce resumed baseball activities Monday.

Joyce played catch for the first time since being placed on the injured list due to right ulnar neuritis on June 10.

Joyce (1-0) recorded a 4.50 ERA and five strikeouts in five innings pitched before the injury.

He played for the Vols from 2021-22. Joyce did not play in 2021 due to rehabbing from offseason surgery.

Joyce (2-1) appeared in 27 games and started one contest in 2022 for Tennessee. He totaled 53 strikeouts in 32.1 innings pitched during the 2022 campaign.

Joyce came to Tennessee from Walters State Community College and Farragut High School in Farragut, Tennessee.

He made his Major League Baseball debut May 29 for the Angels.
