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

Officially optioned back to minors The Rays optioned Bradley to Triple-A Durham on Thursday.

Impact Bradley has really struggled with consistency this season, most recently following up six shutout innings against the Orioles in his first start of the second half with a dud versus the White Sox on Wednesday when he yielded four runs over just 1.2 frames. Overall, Bradley holds a 4.61 ERA across 21 starts, and his strikeout rate has dropped all the way to 20.2 percent. He'll try to get back on track at Durham and could receive another opportunity later this season. Joe Boyle is the likeliest option to take Bradley's spot in the Rays' rotation.

Headed to minors The Rays will option Bradley to Triple-A Durham on Thursday, Marc Topkin of the Tampa Bay Times reports.

Impact The decision to send Bradley down to the minors comes after he allowed four earned runs in just 1.2 innings during Wednesday's loss to the White Sox. He now owns a 4.61 ERA and 1.28 WHIP following his poor showing, and the Rays will likely keep him in the minors until he shows some improvement on the mound. Joe Boyle figures to be the leading candidate to join the rotation from the bullpen, though the team hasn't officially named a replacement yet.

Fires six shutout innings Bradley (6-6) earned the win Friday against the Orioles, giving up no runs on three hits and one walk in six innings. He struck out six.

Impact Bradley was superb, registering his most strikeouts since his June 1 start in Houston. Friday also marked the 24-year-old right-hander's third scoreless outing of at least six innings in his last nine appearances, although he's surrendered at least five runs on three occasions during this stretch. Bradley now holds a 4.35 ERA, 1.24 WHIP and 95:41 K:BB over 109.2 frames in 2025, and he's next scheduled to get a favorable matchup at home versus the lowly White Sox.

Five Ks in six strong innings Bradley took a no-decision Thursday against the Red Sox, giving up one run on two hits and three walks in six innings. He struck out five.

Impact Bradley was able to hurl at least five innings in his fourth start in a row, and he held the Red Sox to only two singles. Each of his two hits allowed came in the third frame, when Boston also scratched a run across via Roman Anthony single, as Bradley fired five hitless innings otherwise. The 24-year-old right-hander still hasn't lived up to the hype very much overall that once made him one of baseball's top pitching prospects, and he's recorded an uninspiring 4.60 ERA, 1.27 WHIP and 89:40 K:BB over 103.2 innings this season.

Bradley has just one victory in his past eight starts and has a 5.05 ERA, 1.29 WHIP and 37:13 K:BB across 41 innings during that stretch. His final outing before the All-Star break lines up to come in Boston next week.
