Angels activated RHP Sam Bachman from the 15-day injured list.

Bachman returns to Los Angeles’ bullpen for the home stretch of the season. He’s been out since early August with nerve inflammation in his right forearm. He’s posted a respectable 4.14 ERA, 1.34 WHIP and 46/27 K/BB ratio across 45 2/3 innings over 41 relief appearances this season.
