Hit hard in loss Sunday
PLos Angeles Angels
June 15, 2026
Bachman (1-1) took the loss against the Rays on Sunday, allowing five runs on four hits and two walks while striking out one batter over one inning.
Analysis
When Bachman entered in the eighth inning, the game was tied 3-3. By the time the right-hander departed, Tampa Bay had taken an 8-3 lead, with four of the five runs against him coming via a pair of two-run homers. Bachman had been pitching great coming into Sunday, tossing 12 straight scoreless appearances and holding a 1.99 ERA over 31.2 overall innings on the campaign. That ERA is up to 3.31 now, but Bachman still figures to be a key high-leverage option for the Angels given his overall body of work this season.

2024 Fantasy Outlook
Bachman was the ninth pick of the 2021 MLB Draft, and while he hasn't shown much consistency as a professional in the minors, he did reach the majors in 2023 while posting a solid 3.18 ERA over 11 appearances in 17.1 innings. Unfortunately, his year came to an early end due to a shoulder issue, and he's expected to miss at least the first month of the 2024 campaign as well. When healthy, Bachman regularly gets his fastball up to 99 mph, but he relies on his slider heavily; throwing that offering 60 percent of the time in his MLB action. The 24-year-old could be a closer someday, and assuming good health, he could see save chances by the end of the 2024 campaign. At this point, however, fantasy managers should take a wait-and-see approach before using a draft pick or salary cap funds on Bachman.

Playing catch
PLos Angeles Angels
June 20, 2022
Bachman has begun playing catch as he rehabs from back spasms, reports Sam Blum of The Athletic.
Analysis
Bachman left his May 27 start for Double-A Rocket City due to back spasms. After undergoing an MRI, it was revealed that he also had inflammation in his bicep. The 22-year-old had been pitching well in his first stint at Double-A, compiling a 1.98 ERA across 13.2 innings in four starts. He'll need a couple of weeks to progress through a throwing program before returning to game action.
