Jun 14 2024The Angels reinstated Bachman (shoulder) from the 60-day injured list Friday and optioned him to Double-A Rocket City. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Bachman has spent the past few months rehabbing from an offseason shoulder surgery, and after tossing three innings in his first appearance with Rocket City, was returned from his rehab assignment. Still, Bachman will remain at the Double-A level for the time being. The 24-year-old garnered a 3.18 ERA in 17.0 innings with the Angels in 2023.
Jun 11 2024Bachman (shoulder) will start in Double-A Rocket City on Thursday as part of his rehab assignment, Rhett Bollinger of MLB.com reports. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Bachman allowed an earned run on three hits across three innings while recording two strikeouts in his start at the Arizona Complex League on Saturday. The righty will now head to Double-A as he progresses through his rehab following offseason shoulder surgery.
Jun 7 2024Bachman (shoulder) started a game for the Angels' Arizona Complex League team June 3 and is slated to throw three innings for the club Saturday, per MLB.com. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Bachman removed himself from a rehab outing May 30 due to neck stiffness, but he said he felt better the next day and was able to toss two innings June 3. That outing went well, as the right-hander didn't allow any runs or hits and struck out four batters. Bachman will look to increase his workload by an inning in his next appearance as he continues to build up following offseason shoulder surgery.
Jun 2 2024Bachman (shoulder) pulled himself from a rehab outing Thursday due to a stiff neck, per MLB.com. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Bachman is attempting to return from offseason shoulder surgery and began a rehab assignment May 25. His second appearance was slated to last two frames, but the neck issue instead limited Bachman to just two-thirds of an inning. The right-hander said he felt better the following day, but it's unclear when his next rehab outing may take place.
May 26 2024Bachman (shoulder) tossed a scoreless inning for the Angels' Arizona Complex League squad Saturday, allowing one hit and striking out one batter. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Bachman is making his way back from offseason shoulder surgery, and he appears to be past the mid-back spasms that slowed his throwing progression in late April. The right-hander is likely looking at several minor-league outings before the Angels consider activating him from the injured list. All 11 of Bachman's big-league appearances last year came in relief, and he could fill a similar role upon his return to the big club unless a spot opens up in the team's rotation.
May 17 2024Bachman (shoulder) threw live batting practice Friday, Rhett Bollinger of MLB.com reports. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Bachman began throwing off a mound May 7, and Friday marks another major step in his recovery from offseason shoulder surgery. The 24-year-old righty will almost certainly require a lengthy rehab assignment before the Angels think about adding him to their rotation, though the team has not yet specified when his assignment will start.
May 7 2024Bachman (shoulder) is scheduled to throw off a mound Tuesday, Jeff Fletcher of The Orange County Register reports. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Bachman underwent shoulder surgery last October and had his rehab halted by back spasms in late April. However, the back issue appears to have subsided, allowing the right-hander to resume working toward a return to game action. Bachman is likely to need a multi-week rehab assignment in the minors before the Angels consider bringing him up to the big-league club.
Apr 23 2024Bachman (shoulder) is dealing with mid-back spasms, causing his throwing progression to be put on hold, per MLB.com. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Bachman has been at the Angels' training facility in Arizona rehabbing from last October's shoulder cleanup surgery. It was initially expected that the righty hurler would be ready to pitch by the start of spring training, but he's instead been progressing slowly and was placed on the 60-day IL in late March. Bachman could still be ready to return by the beginning of June if the back spasms don't halt his throwing progression for an extended period.
