Impact Rivero was pulled from his rehab assignment with Monday after suffering a setback with his hand injury.

Still battling hand issue Rivero (hand) was returned from his rehab assignment Monday after suffering a setback, Rhett Bollinger of MLB.com reports.

Impact Bollinger notes that Rivero's hand wasn't responding as well as the team had hoped while out on his rehab assignment. He'll likely be shut down for at least the next few days before being re-evaluated. Rivero has been on the shelf since June 10 after suffering a left hamate fracture.

Returns from rehab assignment Rivero (hand) was returned from his rehab assignment Monday.

Impact Rivero appeared in five minor-league games as part of his rehab assignment, going 1-for-14 in that span. It's unclear whether he's suffered a setback or is ready to return to action. If he's cleared to be taken off the IL, then Rivero would likely be optioned to Triple-A Salt Lake, given that the Angels carry three catchers on the 26-man roster in Tyler Heineman, Travis d'Arnaud and Moises Ballesteros.
