Bachman (back) is throwing at Anaheim's spring training facility, Jeff Fletcher of The Orange County Register reports.

Bachman suffered the back injury late in spring training and has been on the injured list since. He doesn't have an official timetable to return, though Fletcher reports that Bachman will be pitching in games within "a few weeks." Bachman was not assigned to a level within the organization, though Double-A Rocket City is his most likely destination once activated.

Trivino walked one and struck out three over a scoreless ninth inning Saturday to record his second save of the season in a 7-5 win over the Blue Jays.

The right-hander has issued a free pass in three straight appearances and only threw 11 of his 22 pitches for strikes Saturday, but Trivino may be settling into his role as Oakland's closer. He racked up 22 saves in 26 chances last season, and Trivino's converted two straight after blowing his first opportunity of 2022.

Stanek is experiencing some tightness in his back Saturday but is available to pitch against the Mariners, Brian McTaggart of MLB.com reports.

Save chances are available temporarily in Houston with Ryan Pressly on the injured list due to right knee inflammation. Stanek is one of the top candidates for those opportunities but might not get them if he's not at full strength, especially as he may be behind Hector Neris on the depth chart even if fully healthy.

Duarte was recalled from Triple-A Louisville by the Reds on Saturday.

Duarte made Cincinnati's Opening Day roster and made two appearances out of the bullpen, surrendering two earned runs across 1.2 innings before being demoted. He'll likely return to a low-leverage relief role with the team. Nick Senzel (undisclosed) was placed on the injured list in a corresponding move.

Feyereisen will serve as the opener Sunday against the White Sox, Marc Topkin of the Tampa Bay Times reports.

The Rays use openers frequently, though this will be Feyereisen's first time in the role. He'll throw an inning or potentially two before turning the ball over to Tommy Romero.

Suter (undisclosed) said Saturday that he's feeling fine after exiting Friday's game against the Cardinals, Will Sammon of The Athletic reports.

Suter exited Friday's matchup after colliding with the dugout railing, but he was making a case to remain in the game after the incident. While the exact nature of his injury isn't yet clear, it doesn't appear as though he'll be forced to miss much time.

Gilbreath (illness) will head to Triple-A Albuquerque on Saturday to begin a rehab assignment, Thomas Harding of MLB.com reports.

Although Gilbreath rejoined the Rockies on Friday and tossed a bullpen session, he'll need to make at least one appearance with the minor-league club before he's cleared to make his 2022 debut. The Rockies haven't yet indicated when they plan to activate Gilbreath from the COVID-19 injured list, but it's possible that will happen as early as this week.

Stephenson (illness) will head to Triple-A Albuquerque on Saturday to begin a rehab assignment, Thomas Harding of MLB.com reports.

Stephenson threw a bullpen session Friday after rejoining the Rockies, and he'll work with the minor-league club after missing the first week and a half of the regular season. It's not yet clear how many rehab appearances the right-hander will require, but it's possible that he could return to game action in the majors sometime next week.

Hicks won't start Tuesday's game against the Marlins, John Denton of MLB.com reports.

Hicks was initially slated to make his first start of the season Tuesday in Miami, but he'll instead be available out of the bullpen against the Brewers on Saturday and Sunday. Adam Wainwright will now start Tuesday's series opener against Miami, while manager Oliver Marmol said that he expects Hicks to start late in the series against the Marlins or during the team's series against Cincinnati next weekend.

Mushinski's contract was selected by the Astros on Saturday, Chandler Rome of the Houston Chronicle reports.

Mushinski made four appearances at Triple-A Sugar Land to begin the regular season, and he allowed an unearned run on a hit and no walks while striking out five in 4.2 innings. He'll now be available out of the Astros' bullpen to make his major-league debut, but he should pitch mainly in low-leverage situations.
