Moved down to Double-A The Angels optioned Johnson to Double-A Rocket City following Tuesday's 14-6 loss to the Athletics.

Impact Johnson has allowed eight runs on eight hits and two walks while striking out three batters in five innings across his three outings since being reinstated from the 15-day IL on May 13. He'll head down to Double-A to work on his command issues, with the Angels recalling southpaw Tayler Saucedo from Triple-A Salt Lake in a corresponding move.

Activated from injured list The Angels activated Johnson (hamstring) from the 15-day injured list Wednesday, Jeff Fletcher of The Orange County Register reports.

Impact Johnson landed on the IL back in early April due to a viral infection but was more recently bothered by a hamstring issue. The righty made two rehab starts, allowing three runs with a 12:1 K:BB over 8.1 innings. Johnson threw 78 pitches over five frames in his last rehab start, and it's likely he will re-enter the Angels' rotation. However, when exactly he will make his next start is unclear.

Tosses five frames in rehab start Johnson (hamstring) completed five innings in a rehab outing with Triple-A Salt Lake on Friday, allowing three runs on six hits and no walks while striking out five batters.

Impact This was Johnson's second rehab appearance; in his first, he tossed 3.1 scoreless frames for Single-A Rancho Cucamonga. Angels manager Kurt Suzuki said after Friday's outing the right-handed hurler "felt great" while mentioning that the team will "talk about" Johnson's next steps, per Jeff Fletcher of The Orange County Register. Johnson made one start with the big-league club prior to landing on the IL, and he could move back into the rotation once healthy, especially now that Yusei Kikuchi is facing an extended absence due to a shoulder injury.

Facing live hitters Johnson (hamstring/illness) said Saturday that he's been facing hitters at the Angels' complex in Arizona, Jack Janes of TheSportingTribune.com reports.

Impact A viral infection sent Johnson to the injured list April 6, and he later suffered a hamstring injury while making a start in extended spring training. The 23-year-old righty said he's feeling better now, so his return date will depend on how quickly he can ramp up his workload. It remains unknown if/when the Angels will transfer Johnson to a full-season affiliate to begin a rehab assignment.

Nearing bullpen session Johnson (hamstring/illness) has resumed playing catch and is close to throwing a bullpen session, per MLB.com.

Impact Johnson landed on the 15-day injured list April 6 due to a viral infection. He then made a start in extended spring training April 13 but was removed due to a hamstring injury after throwing just two pitches. Johnson seems to be doing better, and resuming throwing bullpens will be a significant step toward a return to game action. He could be ready to be activated off the IL in late April or early May.
