Angels Promote Top Pitching Prospect Sam Bachman to Aid Bullpen

The Los Angeles Angels are calling up their No. 5 overall prospect, right-handed pitcher Sam Bachman, from Double-A Rocket City.
Bachman was the Angels' first round draft pick, No. 9 overall, in the 2021 draft.
Bachman will work out of the bullpen to strengthen the Angels' middle relief.
The Angels are expected to make a corresponding move to open a spot for Bachman on both the 40-man roster and the active roster.
Bachman is the third prospect the Angels have promoted straight from Double-A this season.
