Set for Saturday start Bradford will start Saturday's game against the Cubs, Jeff Wilson of RangersToday.com reports.

Impact Bradford is in the Rangers' rotation as Michael Lorenzen (neck) builds up his workload.

Keeps getting outs Bradford allowed one run on five hits and struck out two over four innings in Sunday's spring start against the Cubs.

Impact Bradford made his fourth spring appearance and fourth start. He's allowed three runs on nine hits and two walks while striking out nine over 11 innings. He doesn't blow hitters away and needs to command, use deception and control the zone in order to be successful. The left-hander told Kennedi Landry of MLB.com that he left too many pitches over the heart of the plate, which led to loud contact. He's expected to be the Rangers' fifth starter.

Logs second spring appearance Bradford allowed one hit and one walk while striking out two over two scoreless innings in Wednesday's spring start against the Dodgers.

Impact Bradford made his second Cactus League start in a quest to claim the fifth spot in the rotation. He's reintroduced a curveball to his repertoire to go along with a four-seamer, slider and changeup. "It's just to have something to steal strikes with," Bradford said. "It was a good pitch for me [in college], so I'm trying to get back to basically figuring out how to do that again." Or, if the rotation doesn't work out for Bradford, the lefty could land a bullpen spot. He pitched in both roles during 2023, including five relief appearances during Texas' postseason run, when he allowed one run over 7.2 innings.

Impact Bradford entered the game in the fifth inning tasked with preventing a five run lead and rose to the challenge to earn the first postseason win of his career. His best work of the outing came in the seventh inning, when he was able to retire the side on just nine pitches, including two strikeouts. The southpaw entered the postseason in a rough stretch, pitching to a 7.31 ERA and 1.19 WHIP with 14 strikeouts across 16 innings in September.

Joins playoff roster Bradford is listed on the Rangers' roster for their ALDS matchup with the Orioles, Evan Grant of The Dallas Morning News reports.

Impact After being left off Texas' wild-card roster, Bradford will rejoin the bullpen for the Divisional Series, replacing Grant Anderson. Bradford posted a 5.30 ERA and 121 WHIP through 56 major-league innings in the regular season, though he's given up 13 runs over 16 frames since being recalled from Triple-A Round Rock on Sept. 1.

OCTOBER 7, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Lit up in start Bradford (4-3) allowed six runs on seven hits and struck out three without walking a batter over four innings, taking the loss Tuesday versus the Angels.

Impact Bradford was initially expected to serve as an opener, but he ended up covering the most innings of the Rangers' four pitchers Tuesday. He struggled right out of the gate, allowing a three-run home run to Brandon Drury in the first inning. Bradford now has a 5.30 ERA, 1.23 WHIP and 49:12 K:BB through 54.1 innings over 19 outings (eight starts) this season. He's given up 12 runs over his last seven innings, but he may be needed to make another appearance against the Mariners this weekend with the Rangers' rotation a bit thin.

SEPTEMBER 27, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Serving as opener Tuesday Bradford will open Tuesday's game against the Angels.

Impact Bradford worked into the fourth inning during his last opportunity as an opener, so he may be asked to eat a few innings before Texas turns to a bulk reliever. He owns a 4.65 ERA and 1.19 WHIP with a 46:12 K:BB across 50.1 frames this season.

SEPTEMBER 26, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Tagged with six runs Bradford (4-2) yielded six runs on seven hits over three-plus innings Sunday, striking out two and taking a loss against Cleveland.

Impact Bradford looked strong through three shutout frames before a disastrous fourth inning. He coughed up six straight hits and was charged with six runs during the Guardians' nine-run frame. Bradford was riding a 7.1-inning scoreless streak entering Sunday but saw his ERA jump to 4.65 through 50.1 innings.

SEPTEMBER 18, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Opening pitcher Sunday Bradford will serve as the opening pitcher in Sunday's game against the Guardians, Jeff Wilson of RangersToday.com reports.

Impact Bradford threw 42 pitches over 2.2 innings of relief Thursday at Toronto and will probably only be asked to cover the first couple of frames Sunday at Cleveland. The 25-year-old left-hander has posted an overall 3.80 ERA and 44:12 K:BB across 47.1 major-league innings this season with the Rangers.

SEPTEMBER 17, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Next stop on Cody Bradford's hectic Rangers season: late-inning, high-leverage reliever Bradford hasn’t allowed an earned run in two innings since he was recalled from Triple-A on Friday; both have been in the ninth or later.

Rangers recall LHP Cody Bradford, C Sam Huff as rosters expand to start September Bradford gives the Rangers a left-handed option in the bullpen, while Huff provides right-handed support off of the bench.

SEPTEMBER 1, 2023 • DALLASNEWS.COM

Recalled from Round Rock Texas recalled Bradford from Triple-A Round Rock on Friday.

Impact Sam Huff is the other September call-up for the Rangers. Bradford, 25, carries a 4.50 ERA and 37:11 K:BB in 40 innings of work this season at the major-league level and will likely slide into a long relief role.

SEPTEMBER 1, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Optioned to minors Bradford was optioned to Triple-A Round Rock on Tuesday.

Impact Bradford pitched well in spot duty his past two outings with three earned runs allowed across eight innings, and he'll head down to the minors with Texas' trade acquisitions joining the active roster. The 25-year-old has a 4.50 ERA, 1.23 WHIP and 37:11 K:BB across 40 innings this season, and it's likely only a matter of time before he rejoins the big-league bullpen.

AUGUST 1, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Fans five in no-decision Bradford allowed one run on four hits and three walks over three innings in Sunday's loss to San Diego. He struck out five and did not factor in the decision.

Impact Bradford limited the damage to just one run despite finding himself in a couple of jams in his short outing. He's been a solid bulk-innings option for Texas lately; he registered a 3.48 ERA and a 1.16 WHIP over 20.2 innings in July. Bradford will likely move back to a more traditional bullpen role after the Rangers' recent acquisitions of Max Scherzer and Jordan Montgomery.
