The Angels reinstated Loup (hamstring) off the 15-day injured list Sunday.
Loup was scheduled to pitch a simulated game Monday as a final test of his health in his recovery from a hamstring injury, but the Angels were evidently comfortable enough with his progress from the injury to bring him back early. Prior to landing on the shelf, Loup collected four holds and pitched to a 7.00 ERA and 2.11 WHIP in nine innings over 11 appearances.
