Latest news
The Angels reinstated Bachman (forearm) from the injured list Wednesday.
Bachman landed on the injured list in early August due to inflammation in his right forearm. Now, after pitching 2.2 shutout innings across three rehab appearances in the minors, the 26-year-old will return to help the Angels' bullpen get through the final stretch of the regular season. He'll replace the injured Samy Natera (forearm) on the active roster.

Bachman (forearm) has been throwing bullpens in Arizona and pitched in the Arizona Bridge League on Tuesday, MLB.com reports.
Bachman landed on the IL in early August due to right forearm radial nerve inflammation. The 26-year-old reliever resumed throwing within a week, but he didn't begin to toss bullpens until near the end of the month. It appears Bachman is taking tangible steps toward a return, and he's expected to get in some rehab outings with a minor-league club in the near future. He could be back with the Angels before the halfway point of September.

Bachman (forearm) has yet to resume mound work, Rhett Bollinger of MLB.com reports.
Bachman was cleared to begin a throwing program two weeks ago, and while he has continued to throw, the Angels reported Monday that he's yet to toss off a mound since landing on the injured list. He'll need to complete at least a few bullpen sessions and then progress to facing live hitters before being activated, which likely means he's looking at a return at some point in early-to-mid September if all goes to plan.

Bachman (forearm) played catch out to 60 feet Monday, Rhett Bollinger of MLB.com reports.
Bachman landed on the 15-day injured list Wednesday due to right forearm radial nerve inflammation, though it's a positive sign that he's already been cleared to resume throwing. Assuming he checks out fine after tossing Monday, he'll likely be asked to throw again later in the week and could resume mound work in the near future.

The Angels placed Bachman on the 15-day injured list Wednesday due to right forearm radial nerve inflammation.
Bachman was lifted just nine pitches in his most recent relief appearance in Sunday's win over the Brewers due to what the Angels initially termed as right arm fatigue. After additional tests on Bachman's arm revealed a nerve issue, the Angels opted to send him to the shelf. Bachman looked like a candidate to factor into the closing picture after the Angels parted with high-leverage relievers Ryan Zeferjahn and Kirby Yates ahead of Monday's trade deadline, but the forearm injury will take Bachman out of the mix for saves for the time being.

Bachman is dealing with right arm fatigue, Jack Janes of TheSportingTribune.com reports.
Bachman entered Sunday's 3-0 win over Milwaukee in the top of the eighth inning, recording one out while walking a batter before he was removed from the contest. Bachman threw nine total pitches before his departure, and manager Kurt Suzuki explained after the game that the right-handed pitcher is dealing with some "dead arm." Bachman is expected to be further evaluated, and it's currently unclear if he'll need to undergo an MRI.
