Taj Bradley - MLB News, Rumors, & Updates

Yields two runs in win Bradley (6-3) allowed two runs on three hits and two walks while striking out four over five innings to earn the win over the Diamondbacks on Saturday.

Impact Bradley pitched well and got plenty of support from the Twins' offense, exiting with a 16-2 lead. The right-hander snapped a four-game winless stretch in which he had allowed 17 runs over 19.2 innings. For the season, Bradley has a 4.11 ERA, 1.32 WHIP and 84:32 K:BB across 76.2 innings through 14 starts. He's lined up to make his next start at home versus the Rockies, which should be a favorable matchup.

Pitches into seventh inning Bradley allowed four runs on five hits and a walk while striking out seven over 6.2 innings in a no-decision versus the Cardinals on Sunday.

Impact Bradley rebounded fairly well after three straight starts in which he failed to complete five frames. He still gave up four runs, with a pair of homers accounting for three of those runs on his line Sunday. Bradley has taken a step back after starting the season in great form, but this effort could help him turn things around a bit. He's at a 4.14 ERA, 1.34 WHIP and 80:30 K:BB over 71.2 innings across 13 starts this season. His next start is tentatively scheduled to be on the road in Arizona.

Hit hard in Detroit Bradley (5-3) took the loss Tuesday, coughing up five runs on seven hits -- including three home runs -- and three walks over 4.1 innings as the Twins fell 10-4 to the Tigers. He s...

Impact The ball was flying out of Comerica Park as the two teams combined for eight homers, and Bradley took his share of the damage as he served up long balls to Dillon Dingler in the first inning, Riley Greene in the second and Kerry Carpenter in the fifth. It's the first time since April 24 that the right-hander has been taken deep multiple times in a game, but Bradley's been struggling since returning from a pectoral strain in late May, posting a 7.00 ERA, 1.89 WHIP and 21:12 K:BB over his last four starts and 18 innings. He'll try to regain his early-season form in his next trip to the mound, which is scheduled to come at home this weekend against the Cardinals.

Stumbles against ChiSox Bradley (5-2) took the loss Wednesday, giving up four runs on seven hits and five walks over 4.2 innings as the Twins fell 8-0 to the White Sox. He struck out five.

Impact The right-hander managed to get 63 of his 104 pitches into the strike zone, but Bradley's five free passes tied his career-worst mark, set as a rookie with the Rays in September 2023. Since coming off the IL on May 23, Bradley's stumbled to a 5.93 ERA, 1.76 WHIP and 18:13 K:BB over 13.2 innings, suggesting he may not be 100 percent recovered from the pectoral issue that had sidelined him. He's currently scheduled to make his next start on the road early next week in Detroit.

Escapes Pittsburgh with no-decision Bradley didn't factor into the decision Friday as the Twins were downed 6-5 by the Pirates, giving up four runs on five hits and two walks over four innings. He struck out six.

Impact The Bucs ambushed Bradley for three runs in the bottom of the first inning, including a solo shot by Oneil Cruz, but the right-hander was able to hang around long enough to give the Twins 87 pitches (51 strikes) before getting the hook. Bradley has issued multiple free passes in seven straight starts dating back to April 12, posting a 4.12 ERA, 1.27 WHIP and 43:17 K:BB in 39.1 innings during that span. He'll look to bounce back in his next outing, which is scheduled to come at home next week against the Royals.

Pushed to Friday for next start Bradley is slated to make his next start Friday against the Pirates at PNC Park, Bobby Nightengale of The Minnesota Star Tribune reports.

Impact Minnesota had initially been listing Bradley as its starter for Thursday's series finale versus the White Sox in Chicago, but he'll end up getting pushed back a day while the Twins temporarily insert Kendry Rojas as a sixth member of the rotation. The late change likely doesn't amount to a meaningful downgrade or upgrade for Bradley's fantasy outlook in weekly formats, as the right-hander has likely gained the trust of his managers regardless of matchup after rolling to a 5-1 record, 2.77 ERA, 1.17 WHIP and 59:19 K:BB over 52 innings through his first nine starts.

Impressive in return Bradley (5-1) earned the win Saturday against the Red Sox, allowing one run on three hits and two walks in five innings. He struck out seven.

Impact Making his first start since coming off the injured list, Bradley picked up right where he left off before going down with right pectoral inflammation. The 25-year-old right-hander has now tossed at least five innings while yielding two runs or fewer seven times among his nine starts, also fanning at least seven in his third straight outing Saturday. Bradley will carry an outstanding 2.77 ERA, 1.17 WHIP and 59:19 K:BB over 52 frames into his next scheduled matchup with the division-rival White Sox in Chicago.
