Oct 8, 2023
Earns first postseason win
Bradford secured the win in Sunday's 11-8 victory over the Orioles in Game 2 of the ALDS, allowing three hits across 3.2 scoreless innings. He struck out four.
ANALYSIS
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.
Oct 7, 2023
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.
ANALYSIS
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.
Sep 27, 2023
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.
ANALYSIS
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.
Sep 26, 2023
Serving as opener Tuesday
Bradford will open Tuesday's game against the Angels.
ANALYSIS
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.
Sep 17, 2023
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.
ANALYSIS
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.
Sep 17, 2023
Opening pitcher Sunday
Bradford will serve as the opening pitcher in Sunday's game against the Guardians, Jeff Wilson of RangersToday.com reports.
ANALYSIS
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.
Sep 1, 2023
Recalled from Round Rock
Texas recalled Bradford from Triple-A Round Rock on Friday.
ANALYSIS
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.
Aug 1, 2023
Optioned to minors
Bradford was optioned to Triple-A Round Rock on Tuesday.
ANALYSIS
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.
Jul 31, 2023
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.
ANALYSIS
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.
Jul 30, 2023
Starting Sunday
Bradford will start Sunday's game against the Padres, Jeff Sanders of The San Diego Union-Tribune reports.
ANALYSIS
The left-hander allowed two runs over five frames in bulk relief Tuesday and will work as a traditional starter for Sunday's series finale in San Diego with Nathan Eovaldi (elbow) missing a second straight turn through the rotation. Even with Eovaldi's availability up in the air, it'll likely be a spot start for Bradford since the Rangers acquired Max Scherzer from the Mets on Saturday.
Jul 25, 2023
Delivers five solid frames
Bradford gave up two runs on six hits and no walks across five innings during Tuesday's 4-3 loss at Houston. He struck out three and did not factor in the decision.
ANALYSIS
The left-hander was initially expected to start Tuesday but was instead used in a bulk role behind opener Yerry Rodriguez. Bradford surrendered a pair of solo homers but was otherwise able to keep the Astros off the board. The Rangers had an open rotation spot Tuesday with Nathan Eovaldi (rest) having his turn skipped, and Bradford should return to a more traditional relief role with team off days on deck Thursday and Monday.
Jul 25, 2023
Not starting after all
Bradford will not start for the Rangers on Tuesday in Houston as initially reported.
ANALYSIS
Bradford could wind up going multiple innings as a bulk reliever, but the Rangers have opted to open with Yerry Rodriguez. The Astros will be going with a traditional starter in J.P. France.
Jul 25, 2023
Getting start Tuesday
Bradford will start for the Rangers on Tuesday in Houston, Evan Grant of The Dallas Morning News reports.
ANALYSIS
It's Nathan Eovaldi's spot, but the Rangers have opted to skip Eovaldi's turn in the rotation after he's experienced a recent dip in velocity. Half of Bradford's appearances for Texas this season have been starts and he was used as a starter at Triple-A Round Rock, but lately he's been used more in relief, including last Friday when he went 1.1 innings versus the Dodgers. Thus, this could be more like an extended opener situation. Owen White would seem to be a candidate to eat up some innings in relief.
Jul 18, 2023
Claims win in relief
Bradford (2-1) picked up the win in Sunday's 6-5 victory over the Guardians after covering three innings out of the bullpen and allowing two runs on three hits and no walks. He struck out four.
ANALYSIS
Bradford made a five-inning start during the Rangers' final series of the first half in Washington, but he looks like he'll work in relief for the foreseeable future after Texas opened its post-All-Star-break schedule with a five-man rotation. The rookie owns a respectable 4.55 ERA and 1.15 WHIP in 29.2 innings in the majors this season and should be the Rangers' top option for a spot start should the team lose a rotation option at any point.
Jul 8, 2023
Collects first MLB win
Bradford (1-1) picked up the win in Friday's 7-2 victory over the Nationals, allowing one run on five hits and a walk over five innings. He struck out one.
ANALYSIS
While he wasn't dominant, the rookie southpaw generated plenty of soft contact en route to his first career big-league win. Bradford has a 2.70 ERA, 0.96 WHIP and 17:5 K:BB through 16,2 innings over five appearances (three starts) since the beginning of June, and he's the Rangers' top option right now as a sixth starter/swingman, a role which gives him some fantasy appeal considering the strength of the offense supporting him.
Jul 6, 2023
Likely to start Friday
Bradford will likely be the Rangers' starter Friday against Washington, Evan Grant of The Dallas Morning News reports.
ANALYSIS
Assuming Bradford isn't needed out of the bullpen Thursday against Boston, he will make his fifth start of the season Friday. HIs start will push Andrew Heaney's next start to Saturday, and Martin Perez's turn in the rotation will be skipped. Bradford holds a 4.98 ERA and 1.15 WHIP through 21.2 innings this season.
Jul 6, 2023
Makes latest appearance in relief
Bradford most recently appeared out of the bullpen for the Rangers' 12-11 loss to the Astros on Monday, covering 2.1 perfect innings while striking out four.
ANALYSIS
Since being called up from Triple-A Round Rock on June 13, Bradford has made just four appearances, with two coming as a starter and two coming as a reliever. His pair of starts came amid a heavy stretch of games in which the Rangers wanted to build in some extra rest for the other five members of the rotation, but Bradford looks as though he'll stick in the bullpen through the All-Star break. The Rangers may use the upcoming break to send Bradford back to Round Rock, though the rookie southpaw should be the organization's top choice to rejoin the big-league rotation should Texas lose a starter at any point.
Jun 30, 2023
Career-high eight strikeouts
Bradford did not factor into the decision Thursday, allowing three runs on four hits and three walks over 4.1 innings in a 8-5 loss against Detroit. He struck out eight.
ANALYSIS
Bradford was pulled after allowing a solo homer to Spencer Torkelson with one out in the fifth. Prior to that the lefty had allowed two runs on three hits while recording a career-high eight strikeouts. He struck out the side in the third, with each batter going down swinging, and then struck out two of the three hitters he faced in the fourth. Bradford has, however, now failed to make it through five innings in each of his last two starts.
Jun 28, 2023
Starting Thursday
Bradford will start Thursday's game against the Tigers.
ANALYSIS
The decision to start Bradford on Thursday will push back the Rangers' rotation by a game, allowing Jon Gray and Nathan Eovaldi to both start during Texas' upcoming series against Houston on an extra day of rest. Bradford holds a 5.40 ERA and 1.20 WHIP alongside a 12:4 K:BB through 15 innings in the majors this season.
Jun 27, 2023
Mops up in loss
Bradford struck out one over a scoreless two-thirds of an inning in Monday's 7-2 loss to Detroit.
ANALYSIS
Bradford, a minor league starter that made three starts for Texas this year, mopped up in the ninth inning with the Rangers trailing by five. This was the first relief appearance at any level since college at Baylor, and the first time pitching in 13 days. Texas manager Bruce Bochy confirmed to Shawn McFarland of the Dallas Morning News that the team doesn't have a firm plan for the left-hander at this time. Bochy didn't want Bradford's first relief appearance as a pro to be on short notice in a high-leverage situation, and Monday's large deficit presented an opportunity.
Jun 14, 2023
Decent in no-decision
Bradford did not factor into the decision Tuesday, allowing one run on two hits and one walk over 4.1 innings against the Angels. He struck out three.
ANALYSIS
Pitching on three days' rest in his third appearance since being called up from Triple-A Round Rock, Bradford held a potent Angels lineup down for most of the evening, throwing 42 of 64 pitches for strikes and not allowing a hit over his last eight batters before being pulled in the fifth inning. After being rocked for six runs in his debut, the young southpaw has settled down nicely, allowing just three runs over his last 9.1 innings.
Jun 13, 2023
Promotion official
The Rangers recalled Bradford from Triple-A Round Rock on Tuesday, Kennedi Landry of MLB.com reports.
ANALYSIS
Bradford will start for the Rangers on Tuesday against the Angels, marking the 25-year-old lefty's third start in the majors this season. Bradford holds a 7.20 ERA and 1.50 WHIP through 10 innings with Texas and just threw eight innings in a minor-league game Friday, so he likely will be on a relatively low pitch-count Tuesday. Owen White was also recalled to provide multiple innings out of the bullpen, and Yerry Rodriguez and Cole Ragans were both optioned to Triple-A Round Rock in corresponding moves.
Jun 13, 2023
Confirmed to start Tuesday
Bradford will start for the Rangers on Tuesday versus the Angels.
ANALYSIS
He's taking the spot vacated by Jon Gray (blister). Bradford just threw 99 pitches over eight innings for Triple-A Round Rock this past Friday, so he figures to be relatively limited from a pitch count perspective against the Angels. Owen White is being called up to serve as protection in the bullpen.
Jun 12, 2023
Likely starting Tuesday
Bradford appears likely to start for the Rangers on Tuesday against the Angels in place of Jon Gray (blister), Kennedi Landry of MLB.com reports.
ANALYSIS
Manager Bruce Bochy wouldn't reveal Gray's replacement when asked Monday, but Bradford was spotted at Globe Life Field. The left-hander has been roughed up for eight runs over 10 innings in two starts with the Rangers this season, although he's posted a 1.82 ERA in 10 outings with Triple-A Round Rock.
May 29, 2023
Optioned to Triple-A
Bradford was optioned to Triple-A Round Rock on Monday.
ANALYSIS
Bradford produced a strong outing Sunday, allowing two runs on five hits and a walk while striking out five over five innings in a spot start versus the Orioles. He will now head back to Round Rock where he has compiled a sparkling 0.99 ERA and 0.93 WHIP with 42 strikeouts over 45.1 innings in eight starts. Grant Anderson had his contract selected Monday and will replace Bradford on the major-league roster.
May 29, 2023
Shows improvement
Texas manager Bruce Bochy said Bradford showed better command in Sunday's start, his second in the majors, Kennedi Landry of MLB.com reports. "He had the changeup going today, and I thought his breaking ball was better too," the manager said.
ANALYSIS
Bradford bounced back from a rough introduction to the majors May 15 and arguably could have had a better result Sunday. He allowed two runs in the first inning, which included pop-up single by Cedric Mullins that had an expected batting average of .030. Bradford showed mettle in putting that inning behind him and retired the 13 of the final 15 batters.
May 28, 2023
Pitches well in spot start
Bradford did not factor into the decision Sunday, allowing two runs on five hits and a walk over 5 innings against the Orioles. He struck out five.
ANALYSIS
Bradford allowed a pair of runs in the first inning before settling down and shutting out Baltimore over his final four frames. After a disastrous big-league debut in April, Bradford lowered his ERA to 7.20 with a 1.50 WHIP and 8:3 K:BB through 10 innings. The 25-year-old southpaw will most likely return to Triple-A after filling in for Dane Dunning (personal) on Sunday. Bradford appears to be the Rangers' first choice should they need rotation help moving forward.
May 28, 2023
Will start Sunday
Bradford was called up from Triple-A Round Rock on Saturday and will start Sunday's series finale against Baltimore, Shawn McFarland of the Dallas Morning News reports.
ANALYSIS
Bradford will fill in for Dane Dunning, who was placed on paternity leave Saturday. This will be Bradford's second start in the majors this season. The left-hander gave up six runs on seven hits (two HR) and two walks while striking out three over five innings against Atlanta on May 15.
May 16, 2023
Optioned to Triple-A
Texas optioned Bradford to Triple-A Round Rock on Tuesday.
ANALYSIS
Bradford made his MLB debut against Atlanta on Monday and the left-hander allowed six runs over five innings while picking up the loss. He could be back up at some point this summer, but it was known from the start this was just going to be a spot start for the 25-year-old. Joe Barlow was recalled from Triple-A in a corresponding transaction.
May 16, 2023
Roughed up in big-league debut
Bradford (0-1) took the loss against Atlanta on Monday, allowing six runs on seven hits and two walks while striking out three batters over five innings.
ANALYSIS
Bradford has posted an impressive 0.91 ERA through 39.2 innings at the Triple-A level this season, but he found the going much tougher in his first major-league start. The southpaw gave up plenty of hard contact, serving up a pair of homers and five total extra-base hits. Bradford drew a tough assignment for his MLB debut, so this outing shouldn't be seen as a baseline for his potential to succeed in the big leagues. Still, he may be sent back down to the minors since the Rangers currently have five healthy starters ahead of him.
