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. Read Past Outlooks

Reinstated, optioned to Double-A
PLos Angeles Angels  AAA
June 14, 2024
The Angels reinstated Bachman (shoulder) from the 60-day injured list Friday and optioned him to Double-A Rocket City.
ANALYSIS
Bachman has spent the past few months recovering from offseason shoulder surgery, and after tossing three innings in his first rehab appearance with Rocket City, he'll remain at that level until the Angels have an opening on their big-league staff. The 24-year-old garnered a 3.18 ERA in 17.0 innings with the Halos in 2023.
