Dealing with arm fatigue
Bachman is dealing with right arm fatigue, Jack Janes of TheSportingTribune.com reports.
Analiz
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.

Saddled with blown save
Bachman blew the save Monday against Houston. He allowed an unearned run on no hits, two walks (one intentional) and a hit-by-pitch while striking out one over two-thirds of an inning.
Analiz
Entering with runners on the corners and one out in a one-run game in the ninth inning, Bachman was unable to put out the fire, allowing three runs to score and blowing the save. No earned runs were charged to the 26-year-old, as the first two were inherited from Jose Fermin and the third was unearned due to Bachman committing a fielding error. The right-hander is now 1-for-4 in save opportunities and owns a 4.26 ERA, 1.31 WHIP and 46:24 K:BB across 44.1 innings in 2026.

Can't convert save Sunday
Bachman was credited with a hold against San Francisco on Sunday despite allowing two runs on two walks while retiring just one batter.
Analiz
Bachman got the call from the bullpen to begin the ninth inning with the Angels holding a 4-1 lead. The right-hander threw just seven of 18 pitches for strikes and walked two of the three batters he faced to bring the tying run to the plate. After his second walk, Bachman was lifted in favor of Mitch Farris, who gave up a Luis Arraez double to allow both inherited runners to score but was ultimately able to record the save. It was a disappointing outcome for Bachman, who picked up a save in late June and has been part of the high-leverage mix for an unsettled Angels bullpen. He didn't do himself any favors Sunday in gaining additional opportunities to close, and Ryan Zeferjahn and Kirby Yates remain the most likely of the Angels' relievers to see save chances moving forward.
