Taj Bradley - Page 3 - MLB News, Rumors, & Updates

Rebounds with one hit effort Bradley didn't factor into the decision against the Padres on Saturday, allowing one run on one hit and three walks while striking out six over five innings.

Impact Bradley's second start with the Twins went remarkably better than his first, when he was tagged for seven earned runs in a loss to the White Sox. On Saturday, the right-hander allowed just one hit, a solo homer to Elias Diaz in the fifth, while striking out six. The effort served as an encouraging rebound and showed the potential swing-and-miss stuff Minnesota hoped to add when acquiring him at the trade deadline. Bradley will carry a 4.28 ERA, 1.29 WHIP and 102:48 K:BB into his next scheduled start against the Royals, a favorable matchup given Kansas City's struggles against right-handers.

Hit hard in Twins debut Bradley (6-7) took the loss Sunday against the White Sox, allowing seven runs on nine hits and a walk across five innings. He struck out one.

Impact Making his first start with the Twins since he was dealt from the Rays at the trade deadline, Bradley struggled from the get-go Sunday. He gave up three runs in the first inning, after the White Sox led off with four straight singles, before allowing another four runs in the second. It's been a tough season overall for the 24-year-old Bradley, who's posted a 4.95 ERA with a 1.32 WHIP and 96:45 K:BB across 22 starts (116.1 innings). Despite his struggles Sunday, Bradley could remain in Minnesota's rotation with Pablo Lopez (shoulder), Simeon Woods Richardson (illness) and David Festa (shoulder) all on the IL.

Taj Bradley gets off to a rough start in Minnesota Twins debut

Taj Bradley got off to a rough start in his first game with the Minnesota Twins after he was acquired in a trade with Tampa Bay

AUGUST 24, 2025 • Associated Press

Called up to start Sunday The Twins recalled Bradley from Triple-A St. Paul ahead of his scheduled start Sunday against the White Sox in Chicago.

Impact Bradley will be making his Twins debut Sunday, three and a half weeks after he was acquired from the Rays ahead of the trade deadline. The 24-year-old righty had made three starts for St. Paul prior to his call-up, turning in a bloated 7.53 ERA and 1.63 WHIP but a more promising 18:2 K:BB in 14.1 innings. Bradley has shown the ability to make bats miss at a prolific clip over parts of three seasons in the majors, though he took a big step back in that regard during his time with the Rays in 2025, with his strikeout rate dropping to a career-low 20.2 percent in 21 starts in the majors prior to the trade.

Drawing start Sunday The Twins will recall Bradley from Triple-A St. Paul to start Sunday's game against the White Sox in Chicago.

Impact The transaction will likely be officially announced a few hours prior to the game's 2:10 p.m. ET start time. Bradley will become the second trade-deadline pickup the Twins will have added to the big-league rotation this weekend, as Mick Abel was called up from St. Paul to start in Saturday's 7-3 loss. Bradley -- who owns a 7.53 ERA, 1.63 WHIP and 18:2 K:BB in 14.1 innings at St. Paul since being acquired from the Rays on July 31 -- could be in line for multiple turns through the rotation while the Twins wait for Pablo Lopez (shoulder) and Simeon Woods Richardson (illness) to return from the injured list.

Might make Twins debut this weekend Bradley could join the Twins' rotation as soon as this weekend versus the White Sox, Dan Hayes of The Athletic reports.

Impact The Twins have yet to name starters for Saturday or Sunday, and it's possible those slots could be filled by Bradley and/or Mick Abel. Acquired from the Rays earlier this month in exchange for Griffin Jax, Bradley has posted a 7.53 ERA but an 18:2 K:BB over his first 14.1 frames with Triple-A St. Paul. He's tentatively penciled in to start Sunday for St. Paul but could make his Twins debut that day instead.

Looks sharp in Triple-A Bradley gave up one run over six innings with four strikeouts and no walks Wednesday for Triple-A St. Paul.

Impact It was Bradley's first start in the Twins organization after he was acquired for Griffin Jax last Thursday. Despite trading for him, the Twins say they want to keep Bradley in the minors to work on some of his pitches. He'll likely be called up at some point this season to Minnesota, but it sounds like he'll make at least another start or two at Triple-A.

Stays at Triple-A Bradley will stay at Triple-A St. Paul after he was traded from the Rays as the Twins want him to continue on tweaking his pitches, the Minneapolis Star Tribune reports.

Impact The Twins don't have a clear fifth starter at the moment, so it's possible Bradley is called up to start Tuesday at Detroit. However, the Twins so far are saying he'll stay in the minors.
