Posts first save
Bachman pitched a perfect inning to earn the save in Sunday's 9-7 win over the Athletics.
Analysis
Bachman got the call for the bottom of the ninth inning after the Angels pulled ahead in the top half of the frame. The right-hander needed just 11 pitches (nine strikes) to retire the side. Kirby Yates had pitched the previous two days, and Ryan Zeferjahn tossed 24 pitches Saturday, which explains why Bachman got a rare chance to close. He's worked in a setup role this season, earning 11 holds and two blown saves over 34.2 innings. Bachman also sports a 3.63 ERA, 1.21 WHIP and 35:17 K:BB. He had allowed seven runs over his previous two outings, though he had a 13-inning scoreless streak before that.

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.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
Playing catch
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.
