Tapped for ALDS Game 1 start
Bradish will start Saturday in Game 1 of the ALDS versus the Rangers, Roch Kubatko of MASNSports.com reports.
ANALYSIS
Bradish seemed to be the clear choice for the Orioles following a breakout 2023 campaign which saw him post a 2.83 ERA, 1.04 WHIP and 168:44 K:BB over 168.2 innings covering 30 starts. That includes a 2.34 second-half ERA and a 16-inning scoreless streak to end his regular season. The Rangers have not yet announced a Game 1 starter, but it's expected to be Dane Dunning. Grayson Rodriguez will get the ball in Game 2 for the O's.

Strikes out five in finale
Bradish did not factor into the decision Sunday, allowing just one walk over two scoreless innings against Boston. He struck out five.
ANALYSIS
Though he was held to just two innings Sunday, Bradish struck out five of the seven batters he faced to cap an excellent sophomore campaign. The 27-year-old right-hander will end the year with a 2.84 ERA, 1.04 WHIP and 168:44 K:BB across 30 starts (168.2 innings). Bradish is currently lined up to start Baltimore's post-season opener next weekend.
Oct 1, 2023
Short start on tap
Bradish will only throw a couple innings Sunday against the Red Sox, Nathan Ruiz of The Baltimore Sun reports.
ANALYSIS
It will turn into a bullpen game once Bradish hurls a couple frames, as the Orioles just want to let him keep his routine in advance of the postseason.
Sep 27, 2023
Eight scoreless innings in win
Bradish (12-7) earned the win Tuesday, allowing three hits and two walks over eight scoreless innings in a 1-0 win over Washington. He struck out four.
ANALYSIS
Bradish saved his longest outing of the campaign for what is likely to be the righty's final start of the 2023 regular season, shutting out the Nationals for eight innings thanks in large part to the 14 ground ball outs he induced. In 10 starts since the beginning of August, the 27-year-old has gone 6-1 with a 2.15 ERA, 0.89 WHIP and 68:16 K:BB across 62.2 innings. Bradish took a big step forward in his sophomore season, improving upon every major pitching category and finishing with a 12-7 record, 2.86 ERA, 1.05 WHIP, 163:43 K:BB and a 49.3 percent ground ball rate, currently the eighth-highest in the MLB among qualified starters.
Sep 20, 2023
Excellent in no-decision
Bradish did not factor into the decision Wednesday, allowing two hits and two walks over six scoreless innings against the Astros. He struck out nine.
ANALYSIS
Bradish has continued to impress down the stretch, going 5-1 with a 2.47 ERA in nine outings since the start of August. However, he'd come up short of a win Wednesday, as the Astros would rally to score twice against Baltimore's bullpen. Overall, Bradish is 11-7 with a 3.01 ERA, 1.07 WHIP and 159:41 K:BB across 28 starts (158.2 innings) in his second big-league season. He's currently lined up for a home matchup with the Nationals in his next outing.
Sep 15, 2023
Takes loss despite solid outing
Bradish (11-7) took the loss Thursday, allowing four runs on seven hits over seven innings against the Rays. He struck out five without issuing a walk.
ANALYSIS
After giving up three runs on four hits in the third inning, the 27-year-old righty retired 13 consecutive Rays before Luke Raley's decisive solo homer in the seventh inning handed Bradish his first loss since July 26. In seven starts between losses, he went 5-0 with a 2.38 ERA, 0.96 WHIP and 50:12 K:BB across 41.2 impressive innings. Bradish is currently lined up to face another tough lineup when the Orioles travel to Houston next week.
Sep 9, 2023
Fans nine in 11th win
Bradish (11-6) picked up the win Friday, giving up two runs on four hits over six innings in an 11-2 rout of the Red Sox. He struck out nine without walking a batter.
ANALYSIS
The right-hander cruised to his fourth straight win and fifth straight quality start, and Bradish's nine strikeouts were his most since he fanned 10 Brewers on June 8. He hasn't taken a loss since late July, posting a 5-0 record with a 2.38 ERA, 0.96 WHIP and 50:12 K:BB through 41.2 innings since the beginning of August, emerging as the O's ace as the team tries to win its first AL East crown since 2014. With John Means (elbow) set to join the rotation soon, Bradish will likely get an extra day of rest before his next start, which figures to come at home next week against the Rays.
Sep 3, 2023
Tallies 10th victory
Bradish (10-6) earned the win over Arizona on Saturday, allowing two runs on four hits and three walks while striking out six batters over six innings.
ANALYSIS
Bradish toiled a bit in needing 107 pitches to get through six frames, but he was able to keep Arizona off the scoreboard outside of a two-run third. The right-hander finished with his third straight win and his fourth consecutive quality start, beginning September in strong fashion after posting a 2.12 ERA, 0.98 WHIP and 35:9 K:BB over 29.2 innings across five starts in August. The 26-year-old is flourishing in his second big-league campaign, ranking fifth among qualified MLB starters with a 3.03 ERA, ninth with a .224 BAA and 13th with a 1.11 WHIP.
Aug 26, 2023
Nabs another quality start
Bradish (9-6) earned the win Saturday, allowing two runs on six hits and one walk over six innings against Colorado. He struck out eight.
ANALYSIS
Bradish collected his third consecutive quality start, fanning eight batters and surrendering a pair of runs Saturday. During those three appearances, Bradish boasts a 2-0 record to go along with a 2.00 ERA and a 23:3 K:BB. He'll look to keep the ball rolling in his next start, which is tentatively scheduled to come during a three-game road series against the D-Backs next week.
Aug 20, 2023
Dominant versus Athletics
Bradish (8-6) allowed two hits and a walk while striking out eight over six scoreless innings to earn the win Sunday over the Athletics.
ANALYSIS
Bradish has kept runs off the board in four of his last eight starts, with Sunday's effort in Oakland arguably the most dominant in that stretch. He's won two of four starts in August, allowing five runs with 27 strikeouts across 23.2 innings for the month. Overall, the 26-year-old is at a 3.03 ERA, 1.10 WHIP and 122:35 K:BB through 127.2 innings across 23 starts this season. Bradish is lined up to make his next start at home against the Rockies.
Aug 13, 2023
Turns in quality start Sunday
Bradish allowed two runs on five hits and a walk while striking out seven over six innings in a no-decision versus the Mariners on Sunday.
ANALYSIS
Bradish walked a season-high five batters last Sunday versus the Mets, but he bounced back well for his fourth quality start in six outings since the All-Star break. The right-hander is now at a 3.18 ERA, 1.13 WHIP and 114:34 K:BB through 121.2 innings over 22 starts this season. Bradish continues to be one of Baltimore's top starters, and he should be able to maintain his performance now that the team has moved to a six-man rotation to build in extra rest. He's lined up for a favorable road start in Oakland his next time out.
Aug 6, 2023
Command issues lead to no decision
Bradish did not factor into the decision Sunday, allowing three hits and five walks over 4.2 scoreless innings against the Mets. He struck out five.
ANALYSIS
Bradish hit Jeff McNeil to lead off the game and continued to struggle with his command throughout, tossing only 45 of 87 pitches for strikes. He was pulled after he loaded the bases with his fifth walk, one out shy of becoming eligible for the win. This marks the first time in his last 13 starts that Bradish has walked more than two batters in a game. He will look to rebound in his next start, likely set for next weekend in Seattle.
Aug 2, 2023
Fans seven in seventh win
Bradish (7-6) picked up the win Tuesday, giving up three runs on four hits and a walk over seven innings in a 13-3 rout of the Blue Jays. He struck out seven.
ANALYSIS
The Orioles didn't take full control of the game until the later innings, but after serving up a couple early homers to Danny Jansen and Brandon Belt, Bradish settled down and blanked Toronto over his final four frames. The right-hander has six quality starts in his last seven outings, a stretch in which he's posted a 2.54 ERA, 0.91 WHIP and 42:10 K:BB through 46 innings. Bradish will look to keep rolling in his next start, likely to come at home this weekend against the Mets.
Jul 27, 2023
Rattled by Phillies
Bradish (6-6) took the loss Wednesday, coughing up five runs on seven hits and two walks over 6.2 innings as the Orioles fell 6-4 to the Phillies. He struck out three.
ANALYSIS
The right-hander hadn't been tagged for more than three runs in a start since May 23, ending a sizzling stretch during which Bradish had posted a 2.25 ERA, 0.97 WHIP and 60:12 K:BB through 10 outings and 60 innings. He'll look to get back on track in his next start, which is likely to come early next week in Toronto.
Jul 22, 2023
Takes loss despite quality start
Bradish (6-5) took the loss Friday, allowing two runs on six hits and one walk over six innings in a 3-0 loss against the Rays. He struck out five.
ANALYSIS
Bradish notched his seventh straight quality start, but he still took the loss as Baltimore's offense couldn't muster any run support against Zach Eflin and Tampa Bay's pitching staff. During that seven-game streak, Bradish has posted a 1.62 ERA, 0.86 WHIP and 41:9 K:BB across 44.1 innings, but he holds just a 4-3 record. The 26-year-old is arguably in the best stretch of his MLB career thus far, but the peripheral results suggest he should be stacking up more wins than he has. Either way, Bradish will look to stay sharp during his next start, which is tentatively scheduled for a matchup in Philadelphia.
Jul 16, 2023
Blanks Miami in win
Bradish (6-4) earned the win Sunday, allowing three hits and a walk over 7.1 scoreless innings against the Marlins. He struck out eight.
ANALYSIS
Bradish picked up where he left off before the All-Star break. He's now delivered consecutive scoreless outings while pitching to a 1.41 ERA over his last six starts (38.1 innings). The 26-year-old Bradish lowered his ERA to 3.05 on the season with a 1.13 WHIP and 87:24 K:BB. Bradish will look to keep rolling in his next outing, currently lined up for next week in Tampa Bay.
Jul 7, 2023
Blanks Yankees
Bradish (5-4) earned the win Thursday, allowing three hits and two walks over six scoreless innings in a 14-1 victory over the Yankees. He struck out five.
ANALYSIS
Bradish turned in his second scoreless outing of the campaign Thursday, giving up three hits across six frames to mark his fourth quality start in his last five appearances. The 26-year-old has been a steady presence in the Orioles' rotation, allowing fewer than four earned runs in 14 of his 16 starts this season. He's been especially impressive since the start of June, boasting a 2.70 ERA and a 43:9 K:BB across seven appearances (40 innings). He's tentatively scheduled to take on the Dodgers at Camden Yards for his next start.
Jul 2, 2023
Dealt tough loss
Bradish (4-4) took the loss Saturday, allowing one run on seven hits and one walk over six innings against the Twins. He struck out seven.
ANALYSIS
The right-hander surrendered a solo homer to Joey Gallo during the fourth inning and otherwise kept Minnesota off the board, but that was enough to be saddled with the loss since Bailey Ober countered with seven scoreless frames. Bradish has given up just six total runs in his last four starts and has a 23:5 K:BB across 25 innings during that span. The 26-year-old tentatively projects for a road matchup with the Yankees his next time out.
Jun 25, 2023
Goes seven frames
Bradish (4-3) earned the win Sunday, allowing two runs on two hits and two walks over seven innings against the Mariners. He struck out seven.
ANALYSIS
Bradish tossed a gem Sunday, allowing just two hits across seven innings of work against the Mariners. However, the two hits were extra-base hits by back-to-back batters as Eugenio Suarez doubled and Cal Raleigh knocked him in on a two-run homer in the second frame. Bradish was exceptional following the long ball and retired 15 straight batters. The start marked the second time Bradish lasted seven innings in his last three starts after failing to go that deep in any of his first 11 appearances. The 26-year-old has now given up three or fewer runs in 12 of his 14 starts this season and will look to build on his impressive resume in his next start, which is tentatively scheduled to come at home against the Twins.
Jun 21, 2023
Solid in third win
Bradish (3-3) earned the win Tuesday, allowing two runs on four hits and two walks over five innings against the Rays. He struck out eight.
ANALYSIS
Bradish blanked a powerful Tampa Bay lineup for four innings before surrendering a pair of runs in the fifth. Baltimore would withstand the Rays' comeback attempt, giving Bradish his first win since May 17. The 26-year-old right-hander now has a 3.88 ERA with a 1.26 WHIP and 60:18 K:BB across 13 starts (65 innings) this season. Bradish is currently in line for a home matchup with the Reds in his next start.
Jun 15, 2023
Hit with tough loss
Bradish (2-3) took the loss Wednesday, allowing one run on four hits with no walks over seven innings against the Blue Jays. He struck out one.
ANALYSIS
Bradish retired nine of the first 10 batters he faced while hitting Vlad Guerrero Jr. with a pitch to open the second inning. He went on to allow only four hits over seven frames, with his biggest mistake coming in the form of a changeup left out over the plate, which George Springer crushed over the left field wall to put Toronto on the scoreboard. The right-hander was charged with the loss despite limiting the Blue Jays to one run and is still looking for his first win since May 17 against the Angels. Bradish also recorded just one strikeout on the night after posting a season-high 10 strikeouts in his previous start.
Jun 8, 2023
Dominant after rocky first
Bradish did not factor into the decision Thursday, allowing three runs on six hits and a walk over five innings in a 6-3 victory over Milwaukee. He struck out 10.
ANALYSIS
It looked like it would be a rough outing for Bradish after he allowed three runs on four hits in the first inning. However, he'd respond by retiring 12 consecutive batters while recording a season-high 10 strikeouts as the Orioles rallied for the comeback win. Bradish has pitched to a solid 3.24 ERA over his last six outings. Overall, he's 2-2 with a 4.25 ERA, 2.36 WHIP and 51:16 K:BB through 11 starts (53 innings) this season.
May 28, 2023
Sharp in no-decision
Bradish did not factor into the decision Sunday, allowing a run on four hits and a walk over 6.2 innings against the Rangers. He struck out four.
ANALYSIS
Bradish shut out the powerful Rangers' offense for five innings Sunday, allowing his only run on a Marcus Semien RBI double in the sixth. Bradish has logged a quality start in four of his last five outings, allowing one run or fewer in each. The 26-year-old right-hander is 2-1 with a 3.89 ERA, 1.30 WHIP and 36:14 K:BB through nine starts (44 innings) this season. Bradish is tentatively lined up to make his next start on the road in San Francisco.
May 24, 2023
Gives up four in no-decision
Bradish did not factor into the decision Tuesday, allowing four runs on seven hits and three walks over 5 innings against the Yankees. He struck out three.
ANALYSIS
Nearly all the damage came late against Bradish, holding the Yankees scoreless until Harrison Bader clubbed a solo homer to lead off the fourth. His troubles continued in the fifth, allowing three runs on four hits before ultimately being pulled following the inning. Bradish has blossomed into a reliable fantasy option in his sophomore year, having allowed more than three runs in two of eight starts while bumping up his swinging strike rate from 10 percent to 11.9 percent.
May 18, 2023
Sharp against former organization
Bradish (2-1) picked up the win Wednesday, allowing one run on four hits over 6.2 innings in a 3-1 victory over the Angels. He struck out five.
ANALYSIS
Facing the team that drafted him in 2018 before flipping him to Baltimore a year later in the Dylan Bundy deal, Bradish delivered his second straight quality start while firing 63 of 94 pitches for strikes. The right-hander has rebounded nicely from a rough outing against the Red Sox in late April, posting a 2.82 ERA, 0.99 WHIP and 20:4 K:BB through 22.1 innings over his last four starts. He'll look to keep rolling when he next takes the mound, which is likely to come early next week in Yankee Stadium.
May 13, 2023
Six strikeouts in no-decision
Bradish did not factor into the decision Friday, allowing one unearned run on three hits and one walk over six innings in a 6-3 win over Pittsburgh. He struck out six.
ANALYSIS
Bradish tied his season high with six strikeouts, and the lone run on his ledger came via a throwing error by Jorge Mateo. The right-hander's 4.56 ERA remains inflated due to a poor outing versus Boston, but other than that, he's been solid through six appearances this season. He'll look to make it back-to-back quality starts next time out, which is tentatively scheduled for a four-game set versus the Angels.
May 7, 2023
Yields three runs in no-decision
Bradish did not factor in the decision against Atlanta on Saturday, allowing three runs on five hits and two walks while striking out four batters over five innings.
ANALYSIS
Bradish racked up 15 whiffs in the contest, though they led to only four strikeouts. The right-hander's final line wasn't exceptional, but he did manage to complete five frames for just the second time through five starts this season. Bradish holds a shaky 5.95 ERA and 1.73 WHIP on the campaign to along with an 18:9 K:BB over 19.2 innings.
Apr 30, 2023
Bradish
Bradish did not factor into the decision Sunday, allowing three runs on six hits and one walk over 4.2 innings during a 5-3 win over the Tigers. He struck out five.
ANALYSIS
Bradish was sharp through four straight scoreless frames, but he allowed a two-run homer and an RBI double in the fifth before getting pulled with two on and two out. It was a solid bounce back for the right-hander, who was tagged for seven runs over 2.1 innings last time out, but the results continue to be sporadic after a brief stint on the injured list. Bradish's next start is projected for Baltimore's upcoming three-game stint in Atlanta.
Apr 26, 2023
Routed by Red Sox
Bradish (1-1) took the loss Tuesday as Baltimore was downed 8-6 by Boston, surrendering seven runs on eight hits and four walks over 2.1 innings. He struck out one.
ANALYSIS
After beginning the season with 7.2 scoreless innings, Bradish's third start of 2023 was an absolute disaster, as he needed 81 pitches (48 strikes) to record only seven outs. The O's eventually made things close in the ninth inning, but the hole dug by the right-hander in the first few frames was too deep. Bradish now sports a 6.30 ERA, 2.00 WHIP and 9:6 K:BB through 10 innings, and he'll look to rebound in his next outing, likely to come this weekend in Detroit.
Apr 20, 2023
Earns first win of year
Bradish (1-0) earned the win Wednesday, allowing five hits and one walk over six scoreless innings against Washington. He struck out six.
ANALYSIS
This was Bradish's first appearance since his season debut on 4/3, when he exited the game in the second inning after getting hit in the foot by a line drive. While fantasy managers should be excited to see the right-hander healthy and pitching well, it's worth noting that the Nationals rank just 27th in team OPS (.650) through Wednesday's games. The Arizona native tentatively lines up to face the Red Sox in his next outing, who could provide steeper competition. Boston currently ranks 13th with a .732 team OPS.
Apr 19, 2023
Officially activated ahead of start
The Orioles reinstated Bradish (foot) from the 15-day injured list ahead of his scheduled start Wednesday in Washington.
ANALYSIS
Baltimore optioned reliever Logan Gillaspie to Triple-A Norfolk to clear room on the 26-man active roster for Bradish, who is set to make his second start of the campaign after exiting his April 3 season debut in Texas with a right foot contusion. Bradish tossed 83 pitches and five innings in his lone rehab start for Double-A Bowie last Friday, so he shouldn't face any major workload restrictions as he steps back into the big-league rotation Wednesday.
Apr 19, 2023
Comes off IL to start Wednesday
Baltimore activated Bradish (foot) off the 15-day injured list to start Wednesday's game against the Nationals, Dan Connolly of The Athletic reports.
ANALYSIS
Bradish will make his first start since being placed on the injured list retroactive to April 4 with a right foot contusion. The right-hander threw 83 pitches in his rehab start for Double-A Bowie on Friday, so he should be able to worker into the mid-to-late innings against a beatable Washington lineup.
Apr 14, 2023
Builds up to 83 pitches
Bradish built up to 83 pitches in Friday's rehab start for Double-A Bowie and said his foot is 100 percent healed, Steve Melewski of MASNSports.com reports.
ANALYSIS
He gave up three earned runs on three hits and one walk with five strikeouts in five innings Thursday, and his comments after the outing suggest he's ready to return to the majors. Assuming he does get activated next week, he could start Wednesday in Washington on normal rest or in the weekend series at home against the Tigers on extra rest following Thursday's off day.
Apr 12, 2023
Rehab outing confirmed for Friday
Bradish (foot) is set to make a rehab start with Double-A Bowie on Friday, Roch Kubatko of MASNSports.com reports.
ANALYSIS
Bradish has had no setbacks since going on the injured list with a bruised right foot after taking a comebacker there in his season debut. Assuming all goes well during his rehab start, Bradish could be an option to pitch during next week's series versus the Nationals -- he is eligible to return April 19.
Apr 10, 2023
Rehab start imminent
Bradish (foot) will make a rehab start with an Orioles' minor-league affiliate within the next few days, manager Brandon Hyde told Jake Rill of MLB.com on Monday.
ANALYSIS
Bradish threw a bullpen session without issue over the weekend and will test out his bruised foot in a game setting soon. All signs point to him rejoining the Orioles' rotation when first eligible on April 19 or shortly after.
Apr 9, 2023
Side session goes well
Orioles manager Brandon Hyde told reporters that Bradish (foot) threw a side session Saturday that went well, Andy Kostka of TheBaltimoreBanner.comreports.
ANALYSIS
Bradish was placed on the injured list after being diagnosed with a right foot contusion, but the right-hander is already making steady progress and has a great chance to rejoin Baltimore's rotation when first eligible April 19.
Apr 7, 2023
Playing catch Friday
Bradish (foot) will play catch Friday, Roch Kubatko of MASNSports.com reports.
ANALYSIS
Bradish probably didn't need the full 15 days to recover from his right foot contusion, but the Orioles wanted to play it safe with the right-hander in making an IL move earlier this week. He is on pace to rejoin Baltimore's rotation when first eligible on April 19.
Apr 5, 2023
Goes on IL
The Orioles placed Bradish (foot) on the 15-day injured list Wednesday, Dan Connolly of The Athletic reports.
ANALYSIS
As anticipated, the right foot contusion that Bradish sustained when he was struck by a line drive will be significant enough to sideline him for at least two weeks. He'll be eligible for activation as soon as April 19, but he'll likely need to resume throwing at some point next week for a minimum-length stay on the IL to become a reality. The Orioles recalled Grayson Rodriguez from Triple-A Norfolk in a corresponding move and will turn to him to fill Bradish's spot in the rotation beginning with Wednesday's game at Texas.
Apr 4, 2023
May be headed for IL
Orioles manager Brandon Hyde said Bradish is still dealing with a sore foot Tuesday and may spend time on the injured list, Jake Rill of MLB.com reports.
ANALYSIS
Bradish was removed from Monday's win over the Rangers after taking a 104-mph line drive to the foot. Initial X-rays came back negative, but it seems Bradish may still need to miss a couple starts and spend time on the injured list.
Apr 3, 2023
Suffers foot contusion
Bradish left Monday's game against the Rangers with a right foot contusion, Roch Kubatko of MASNSports.com reports. Preliminary X-rays were negative for a fracture and he will undergo further evaluation and testing.
ANALYSIS
It's unfortunate because Bradish was off to a great start with a couple strikeouts over 1.2 scoreless frames before taking a 104-mph comebacker off his foot. We should learn in the coming days whether he will be able to make his scheduled start this weekend against the Yankees.
Apr 3, 2023
Leaves after being hit in leg
Bradish has left Monday's start against the Rangers after being hit in his right leg by a comebacker in the second inning, Jake Rill of MLB.com reports.
ANALYSIS
Bradish took a 104 mph liner off his right leg and was unable to continue after attempting a warmup pitch shortly after. The right-hander went 1.2 innings without allowing a run while picking up two strikeouts before exiting. For now, Bradish should be considered day-to-day.
Mar 27, 2023
Appears headed for rotation
Bradish is expected to begin the season as a member of the Orioles rotation after Grayson Rodriguez was informed Monday that he won't be part of the 26-man Opening Day roster, Jake Rill of MLB.com reports.
ANALYSIS
Neither Bradish nor Tyler Wells pitched particularly well in spring training, but with Rodriguez likely to head to Triple-A Norfolk and John Means (elbow) likely out until at least mid-season, Baltimore should have back-end rotation spots available for both Bradish and Wells. A string of poor outings ended up taking Rodriguez out of the Opening Day mix, but the talented right-hander remains Baltimore's top pitching prospect and likely won't require much time to iron things out at Norfolk. With that in mind, both Bradish and Wells may need to show improved results in their first few starts of the regular season to lock themselves into a permanent spot whenever Rodriguez is deemed ready for the big leagues.
Mar 21, 2023
Crushed in Monday's loss
Bradish was tagged for nine runs on nine hits and a walk while striking out two over 2.1 innings versus the Phillies in Monday's Grapefruit League game.
ANALYSIS
Bradish's messy outing comes at an awful time for the right-hander, as the Orioles have started paring down their rotation candidates. Prior to Monday, he'd given up just two earned runs over nine innings, and it's encouraging he wasn't immediately optioned out after the poor start. He'll likely have one last audition before the Orioles break camp, but it's quite possible he ends up on the outside looking in. Whether that's at Triple-A Norfolk or as part of the big-league bullpen is to be determined.
Mar 1, 2023
Works on two pitches
Bradish added a sweeping motion to his slider and also worked on his sinker in the offseason, Nathan Ruiz of The Baltimore Sun reports.
ANALYSIS
Bradish and fellow teammate Dean Kremer worked out together during the offseason for the season year in a row, giving each other tips on their pitches. Bradish leaned on his slider versus right-handed hitters late last season. Both Kremer and Bradish are vying for spots in the back half of the Orioles' rotation, though their major-league experience and relative success compared to other candidates should give them an edge if they pitch well in the spring.
Oct 2, 2022
Struggles with command
Bradish yielded one unearned run on three hits and five walks over five innings against the Yankees on Sunday. He struck out five and did not factor in the decision.
ANALYSIS
Bradish needed 99 pitched (58 strikes) to get through five frames so he didn't get credited for the win after the Orioles took the lead in the seventh inning. The 26-year-old righty bounced back well after getting crushed for seven runs in his last outing against Boston. He finished his rookie year with a 4.90 ERA and a 111:46 K:BB through 23 starts. Since returning to the mound in late July after a shoulder injury, Bradish registered a 3.28 ERA across 71.1 frames.
Sep 28, 2022
Clobbered by Red Sox
Bradish pitched 2.1 innings, surrendering seven runs on four hits and four walks while striking out three in Tuesday's 13-9 loss to the Red Sox. He did not factor into the decision.
ANALYSIS
Bradish gave up a two-run homer to Triston Casas in the bottom of the second inning before he was tagged with five more runs in the following frame while only making one out. The right-hander's performance Tuesday was completely opposite of his last outing Thursday versus the Astros where he fell just short of a complete-game shutout. Prior to the difficult start, Bradish had produced a 1.64 ERA and 0.78 WHIP with 30 punchouts over 38.1 innings in his last six outings. His season-long numbers now stand at a 5.11 ERA and 1.39 WHIP with 106 strikeouts over 112.2 frames in 22 starts.
Sep 23, 2022
Nearly pitches complete game
Bradish (4-7) earned the win Thursday without allowing a run on two hits over 8.2 innings against the Astros. He struck out 10.
ANALYSIS
Bradish did not allow an extra-base hit in this stellar outing. After a bumpy start to his major-league career, the 26-year-old rookie has kept the opponent off the board while throwing seven innings or more during three of his last six starts, turning in a 1.64 ERA and 0.78 WHIP and allowing only one homer during that span.

Dealt loss Saturday
Bradish (3-7) allowed five runs (three earned) on six hits and a walk with three strikeouts in 4.2 innings, taking the loss Saturday versus the Blue Jays.
ANALYSIS
Bradish gave up three runs over the first two innings, and then put two runners aboard in the fifth that Jake Reed allowed to score on Raimel Tapia's three-run double. Bradish has quality starts in three of his last five outings, but the two that weren't quality both came against Toronto. The rookie right-hander owns a 5.05 ERA, 1.45 WHIP and 93:37 K:BB through 101.2 innings across 20 starts this year. He's lined up for an even tougher start at home versus Houston next week.
Sep 11, 2022
Handed a tough-luck loss
Bradish (3-6) allowed one run on two hits and two walks over seven innings Sunday, striking out three and taking a loss against Boston.
ANALYSIS
After coughing up an RBI sacrifice fly to Xander Bogaerts in the first inning, Bradish turned in six scoreless innings. Unfortunately for him, the Orioles were shut out in the 1-0 loss. Bradish has given up three or fewer runs in nine consecutive starts, posting a 2.84 ERA during that stretch. He's lowered his season ERA to 5.01 with a 90:36 K:BB across 97 innings. Bradish is lined up to start in Toronto next weekend.
Sep 7, 2022
Early exit Tuesday
Bradish didn't factor into the decision in Tuesday's 9-6 win over the Blue Jays, giving up three runs on six hits and two walks over three-plus innings. He struck out three.
ANALYSIS
A two-run homer by Bo Bichette in the third inning accounted for most of the damage, and after Bradish put the first two batters aboard in the fourth, he got the hook. It was the right-hander's shortest outing since late May, but Bradish hasn't been tagged with more than three runs in a start since returning from a shoulder issue after the All-Star break, posting a 3.09 ERA, 1.24 WHIP and 41:16 K:BB through 43.2 innings over his last eight trips to the mound.
Sep 1, 2022
Pitches second straight gem
Bradish (3-5) earned the win Thursday, allowing zero runs on two hits and three walks over seven innings in a 3-0 victory over the Guardians. He struck out five.
ANALYSIS
Bradish did not allow an extra-base hit in seven phenomenal shut-down innings. The 25-year-old rookie has been improving over his last seven starts with a 2.66 ERA in 40.2 innings. In additions, the righty has recorded back-to-back starts pitching seven innings or more without allowing a run.
Aug 27, 2022
Shines in longest career start
Bradish (2-5) gave up two hits and two walks while striking out six over eight shutout innings to earn the win in a 2-0 victory over the Astros on Friday.
ANALYSIS
Bradish put together the best start of his young career, and it came on the road against a tough Astros lineup. Bradish threw his slider 51% of the time and 67 of his 96 pitches were strikes. The 25-year-old rookie right-hander lowered his ERA to 5.63 with the unexpected performance and has a K:BB of 79:29 in 80 innings this season. It is worth monitoring to see if Bradish can build on this career-best start his next time on the mound which tentatively lines up for next week at Cleveland.
Aug 21, 2022
Picks up loss
Bradish (1-5) took the loss to Boston on Saturday, allowing three runs on nine hits while striking out six and walking none across 5.2 innings.
ANALYSIS
Despite striking out six batters and walking none, Bradish was tagged with the loss after allowing nine hits and three Boston runners to cross the plate. Bradish has not gone six innings or more since May 10 and has only done it twice on the year, limiting his opportunities to earn both wins and quality starts. He also has allowed three or more runs to score in nine of 15 games. Bradish's three-run outing actually lowered his ERA to a still lackluster 6.25.
Aug 16, 2022
Struggles to find plate Monday
Bradish didn't factor into the decision in Monday's 7-3 win over the Blue Jays, giving up three runs on six hits and four walks over 4.2 innings. He struck out five.
ANALYSIS
Baltimore handed the right-hander a 6-2 lead heading into the fifth inning, but Bradish couldn't hang around long enough to collect the win, getting the hook after tossing only 54 of 96 pitches for strikes. He hasn't lasted longer than 5.1 innings in any of his four starts since coming off the IL in late July, posting a 4.05 ERA, 1.40 WHIP and 21:9 K:BB through 20 innings over that stretch while failing to record a decision in any of them.
Aug 10, 2022
Chased after five in no-decision
Bradish did not factor into the decision Tuesday, allowing three runs on five hits and two walks over 5.1 innings against the Blue Jays. He struck out four.
ANALYSIS
The Orioles' rookie was effective through five innings, with the only blemish being a solo home run off the bat of Bo Bichette, but he ran into trouble in the sixth. A couple of singles and errors helped two Toronto runners scores, chasing him from the game. While his 6.42 ERA on the surface looks scary, Bradish owned a respectable 3.88 xFIP coming into Tuesday bout and dominated Triple-A to the tune of a 1.83 ERA over four games this season, so he is still worth a stash in deeper and keeper leagues in case he turns things around.
Aug 4, 2022
Works around three walks
Bradish allowed one earned run on three hits and three walks while striking out five across five innings Wednesday against the Rangers. He did not factor into the decision.
ANALYSIS
Bradish got off to a shaky start, allowing three of the first five hitters he faced to reach base. He then walked the bases loaded in the second frame but avoided any additional damage and went on to settle into an effective outing. Since being activated from a month-long stint on the injured list, Bradish has allowed only three earned runs across 10 innings with a 12:3 K:BB in two starts.
Jul 29, 2022
Punches out seven
Bradish allowed two runs on five hits over five innings during Friday's win over the Reds. He struck out seven and did not factor in the decision.
ANALYSIS
Bradish coughed up a two-run shot to Joey Votto in the first inning but finished his outing with four straight scoreless frames. It was his first start after being activated from the injured list. The right-handed rookie lowered his season ERA to 7.01 through 51.1 frames and he's now given up a home run in 10 of his 11 career appearances. Bradish is projected to start on the road against the Rangers next week.
Jul 29, 2022
Reinstated, starting Friday
Bradish (shoulder) was reinstated from the 15-day injured list and will start Friday against the Reds.
ANALYSIS
Bradish landed on the injured list with right shoulder inflammation in late June but recently made three rehab appearances and posted a 1.42 ERA and 0.47 WHIP in 12.2 innings. The right-hander will rejoin the rotation now that he's back to full health. Over 10 major-league starts this year, he's recorded a 7.38 ERA and 1.77 WHIP in 46.1 innings.
Jul 25, 2022
Completes third rehab start
Bradish (shoulder) made his third rehab start Sunday at Triple-A Norfolk, striking out six over 4.2 innings while allowing two earned runs on four hits and one walk.
ANALYSIS
Bradish tossed 80 pitches (49 strikes) in his latest outing with Norfolk and should be stretched out enough to make his next start with Baltimore, though it's unclear if he'll be welcomed back into the rotation. Before being placed on the 15-day injured list June 24 with right shoulder inflammation, Bradish compiled a 7.38 ERA, 1.77 WHIP and 46:18 K:BB across 46.1 innings. Both Austin Voth and Spenser Watkins have recently found success at the back end of the rotation, and if the two are able to deliver respectable showings Monday and Tuesday versus the Rays, respectively, the Orioles could choose to option Bradish at Norfolk upon activating him from the IL.
Jul 22, 2022
Slated for another rehab start
Bradish (shoulder) will make another rehab start this weekend, Andy Kostka of The Baltimore Sun reports.
ANALYSIS
Bradish made a pair of rehab starts prior to the All-Star break and struck out nine in eight scoreless innings. However, the right-hander will require at least one more appearance in the minors prior to rejoining the Orioles' rotation. If Bradish feels good following this weekend's outing, he'll likely be in the mix to be activated late next week.
Jul 11, 2022
Flawless in first rehab start
Bradish (shoulder) struck out five over three perfect innings Saturday in his first rehab start for Double-A Bowie.
ANALYSIS
He pumped in 28 of his 36 pitches for strikes and looked dominant while facing hitters for the first time since landing on the injured list, as the Orioles felt comfortable having him bypass throwing a live batting practice session before he reported to Bowie. Bradish is expected to make at least one rehab start this week for Bowie or Triple-A Norfolk before coming off the 15-day injured list and slotting back into the Baltimore rotation following the All-Star break.
Jul 8, 2022
Needs multiple rehab starts
Bradish (shoulder) will make multiple rehab appearances before being activated off the injured list, Rich Dubroff of BaltimoreBaseball.com reports.
ANALYSIS
Bradish has been out for just two weeks due to right shoulder inflammation, so he could probably return to the big leagues after just one outing if the Orioles wanted him to. Considering that he struggled to a 9.61 ERA and 2.34 WHIP in his final five starts prior to the injury, however, it's not all that surprising that the Orioles want him to fully convince them of his health and effectiveness before he's allowed to return.
Jul 7, 2022
Making rehab start Saturday
Bradish (shoulder) will report to Double-A Bowie for a rehab start Saturday, Zachary Silver of MLB.com reports.
ANALYSIS
The right-hander threw a simulated this week, which proved to be the final hurdle before embarking on a minor-league rehab assignment. Bradish hasn't pitched in the majors since June 18 due to shoulder inflammation, so he may be able to rejoin Baltimore's starting rotation after only one rehab outing.
Jul 5, 2022
Sim game on tap
Manager Brandon Hyde said Tuesday that Bradish (shoulder) will throw a simulated game within the next day or two before the Orioles determine the rookie's next steps, Zachary Silver of MLB.com reports.
ANALYSIS
Bradish will take another step forward in his recovery from right shoulder inflammation after he most recently completed a bullpen session Sunday, but the upcoming simulated game will take him out of the running from coming off the 15-day injured list this week. If all goes well when he faces hitters later this week though, Bradish could bypass a minor-league rehab assignment and slot back into the Baltimore rotation shortly before the All-Star break.
Jul 2, 2022
Slated for bullpen session
Bradish (shoulder) will throw a bullpen session Sunday, Roch Kubatko of MASNSports.com reports.
ANALYSIS
Bradish played catch on the field Wednesday and will resume mound work to close out the weekend. He's been on the injured list for just over a week, but the team remains hopeful that the right-hander will be able to return following a relatively brief IL stint.
Jun 29, 2022
Throwing on field Wednesday
Bradish (shoulder) is throwing on the field ahead of Wednesday's game against the Mariners, Zachary Silver of MLB.com reports.
ANALYSIS
Bradish landed on the 15-day IL with right shoulder inflammation Friday but has been able to throw on the field over the last several days. Manager Brandon Hyde still hopes that the right-hander will return from the injured list around when he's first eligible.
Jun 26, 2022
IL stint not expected to be long
Bradish (shoulder) said he expects he'll be ready to return from 15-day injured list when first eligible, Roch Kubatko of MASNSports.com reports.
ANALYSIS
Manager Brandon Hyde echoed the sentiment, suggesting that Bradish may exceed the 15-day minimum but shouldn't be out too much beyond that, Kubatko adds. Bradish will likely resume throwing in the near future, and if his absence is indeed a short one, he may be able to forgo a minor-league rehab stint.
Jun 24, 2022
Out with shoulder inflammation
Bradish landed on the 15-day injured list with right shoulder inflammation Friday.
ANALYSIS
Bradish hasn't looked particularly healthy over his last two starts, giving up a combined 11 runs on 20 hits in 8.2 innings of work, though the extent to which that's attributable to injury rather than merely poor performance is unclear. In any case, he'll miss at least two turns in the rotation and potentially many more, depending on how serious his shoulder issue turns out to be. Marcos Diplan was recalled to take his place on the roster, though he's strictly a reliever, so the Orioles may call someone else up soon to take Bradish's place in the rotation unless they give the opportunity to Keegan Akin, who was a starter prior to this season.
Jun 19, 2022
Pelted for eleven hits
Bradish gave up six earned runs on eleven hits and a walk while striking out three over 4.1 innings in a 7-6 loss to the Rays on Saturday.
ANALYSIS
Bradish gave up a season-high eleven hits in another poor outing. The Orioles' right-hander has been ineffective in his rookie season and only has two quality starts in ten appearances so far this year. His 7.38 ERA and 1.77 WHIP are among the worst in the league. He will likely continue to start games because the Orioles are in a rebuilding phase with no intention to compete. One slight cause for optimism is that Bradish is averaging over one strikeout per inning. Fantasy owners can keep an eye on how he performs in his next start which is tentatively scheduled for Thursday on the South Side of Chicago.
Jun 13, 2022
Takes fourth loss
Bradish (1-4) allowed five runs on nine hits and a walk with three strikeouts in 4.1 innings, taking the loss Monday versus the Blue Jays.
ANALYSIS
Bradish has completed five innings just once in his last six outings after doing so twice in his first three major-league starts. The fifth inning proved troublesome this time, as he was responsible for three of the Blue Jays' seven runs in the frame, though he was also to keep the ball in the yard for the first time this season. The right-hander has an uninspiring 6.86 ERA, 1.67 WHIP and 43:17 K:BB and 10 home runs allowed across 42 innings this season. He's lined up for a tough home matchup in his next start versus the Rays this weekend.
Jun 7, 2022
Wild in no-decision
Bradish allowed two runs on four hits and five walks while striking out five in 4.2 innings of a 9-3 win Tuesday against the Cubs. He did not factor into the decision.
ANALYSIS
Bradish gave up a solo homer to Christopher Morel to lead off the game and another to Willson Contreras to begin the fifth. He had trouble locating his pitches all evening, throwing just 60 of 105 pitches for strikes and issuing five free passes. The rookie has given up at least one home run in each of his eight starts, spanning 37.2 innings. After pitching well in two of his first three outings, he's allowed 19 runs in 20.2 innings with 44 batters reaching safely in his last five starts.
Jun 2, 2022
Pulled after 4.2 innings
Bradish allowed two earned runs on six hits and two walks while striking out six across 4.2 innings Wednesday against the Mariners. He did not factor into the decision.
ANALYSIS
Bradish was given an early three-run lead, but he was pulled after 80 pitches and failed to qualify for the win. He suppressed runs effectively enough, but Bradish struggled to consistently find the strike zone and has allowed eight walks across his last 16 innings. He's struggled to work deep into games as a result, completing five innings in only one of his last four starts. Overall, Bradish has a 6.82 ERA with a 35:11 K:BB across 33 innings.
May 28, 2022
Tagged for six runs
Bradish didn't factor in the decision during Friday's 12-8 win over the Red Sox after surrendering six runs on six hits with two strikeouts and one walk over 1.2 innings.
ANALYSIS
Xander Bogaerts capped off a four-run first inning with a three-run homer, and Bradish was pulled with two outs in the second after allowing a two-run double to Alex Verdugo. The Orioles rallied to score 12 unanswered runs and overcame a six-run deficit, which took Bradish off the hook for the loss. The right-hander has now given up at least four earned runs in four of his six starts this season, and his spot in the big-league rotation could be in jeopardy given his struggles.
May 22, 2022
Surrenders five runs in loss
Bradish (1-3) took the loss against Tampa Bay on Saturday, pitching 5.1 innings and allowing five runs on five hits and two walks while striking out five.
ANALYSIS
Bradish was victimized by two Randy Arozarena long balls in the contest that accounted for three of the runs against him. The rookie has served up at least one homer in each of his five career starts thus far, though this was the first time he has allowed more than four runs. Bradish has shown plenty of promise in his first taste of the majors, but his 5.74 ERA suggests that he still has plenty of room for growth. He's tentatively slated to make his next start in Boston next weekend.
May 16, 2022
Ineffective against Yankees
Bradish (1-2) got the loss Monday after pitching 4.1 innings, giving up four runs on eight hits and three walks while punching out six versus the Yankees.
ANALYSIS
Bradish got himself into a jam in the third inning, surrendering a run on a Giancarlo Stanton double. The big blow against him came in the next frame when Jose Trevino launched a three-run homer. Overall, the eight hits given up were his highest total of the year while the four runs matched a season-high. On the bright side, he the right-hander has 17 punchouts over his last two outings after having only five in his prior two starts. In four starts this year, Bradish has a 5.06 ERA and 1.36 WHIP with 22 strikeouts in 21.1 innings.
May 10, 2022
Tosses seven strong
Bradish (1-1) earned the win Tuesday after he pitched seven innings, surrendering two runs on four hits while striking out 11 batters against the Cardinals.
ANALYSIS
Bradish put together his best start of the 2022 campaign Tuesday, registering a season-high 11 punchouts while limiting the Cardinals to just four baserunners over seven frames. The only blemish on his line came in the sixth inning when Harrison Bader notched a two-run inside-the-park homer, scoring Yadier Molina in the process. After being called up from Triple-A Norfolk on April 29, Bradish has now posted two quality starts in three outings this year, producing a 4.24 ERA and 1.06 WHIP with 16 strikeouts over 17 innings. The 25-year-old tentatively lines up to face the Yankees on Monday.
May 5, 2022
Gives up four runs Wednesday
Bradish didn't factor into the decision after allowing four runs on six hits and two walks through four innings during Wednesday's 9-4 win over the Twins.
ANALYSIS
Bradish was perfect through three innings, but he walked the leadoff batter to start the fourth and ended up allowing four runs in the inning. However, the 25-year-old was able to luckily get out of the inning after a Gilberto Celestino line drive hit Gary Sanchez as he was trying to reach second base. Through two starts this season, Bradish has allowed six earned runs on 11 hits through 10 innings and sports a 5:3 K:BB.
Apr 29, 2022
Handed first loss
Bradish (0-1) allowed three runs (two earned) on five hits and a walk over six innings Friday, striking out two and taking a loss against the Red Sox.
ANALYSIS
All three runs scored against Bradish came in the second inning, including Christian Arroyo's two-run blast. After the rough start, he tossed four scoreless innings while yielding just one hit. This performance was likely enough to earn the 25-year-old another turn in the rotation. Bradish is tentatively lined up to face the Twins at home next week.
Apr 29, 2022
Called up for MLB debut
Bradish was called up from Triple-A Norfolk and will start Friday against the Red Sox, Zachary Silver of MLB.com reports.
ANALYSIS
The 25-year-old was announced as the starter for Friday's series opener earlier this week, and he's now officially joined Baltimore's big-league roster. Bradish posted a 1.20 ERA, 0.73 WHIP and 17:3 K:BB across 15 innings to begin the season at Norfolk, and he could stake his claim to a longer-term rotation spot with a strong showing in his debut given the Orioles' injury issues.
Apr 28, 2022
Slated to start Friday
Bradish will start Friday's game against the Red Sox, Roch Kubatko of MASNSports.com reports.
ANALYSIS
Bradish has had a strong start to the season at Triple-A Norfolk, posting a 1.20 ERA and 0.73 WHIP in 15 innings during three starts. He'll make his major-league debut at home on full rest since Dean Kremer (oblique) and Chris Ellis (shoulder) are on the 10-day injured list. If the 25-year-old Bradish performs well Friday, it's possible he'll remain in the rotation until Kremer or Ellis are cleared to return.
Apr 19, 2022
Strong start at Triple-A
Bradish has allowed one run on four hits and two walks while striking out nine in nine innings across two starts at Triple-A Norfolk.
ANALYSIS
He got a slightly delayed start after being held back in extended spring training for about a week, but Bradish seems as sharp as ever. The 25-year-old righty is on the 40-man roster, so he should join the big-league rotation this summer if he stays healthy.
Mar 28, 2022
Headed to minors
Bradish was optioned to Triple-A Norfolk on Monday, Rich Dubroff of BaltimoreBaseball.com reports.
ANALYSIS
Bradish fared well in spring training, fanning five and walking three over four scoreless innings of work. He's in line to begin the 2022 campaign at Triple-A, where he finished with a 4.26 ERA and 1.44 WHIP with a 105:39 K:BB across 86.2 innings a season ago.
Nov 19, 2021
Added to 40-man roster
Bradish was added to Baltimore's 40-ma roster Friday, Nathan Ruiz of The Baltimore Sun reports.
ANALYSIS
Originally acquired in 2019 from the Angels in the Dylan Bundy trade, Bradish reached Triple-A last season and could join Baltimore's rotation at some point in 2022. He will need to improve his command in order to have success in such a role.
Jun 7, 2021
Strong start to Triple-A career
Bradish has posted a 2.02 ERA, 1.57 WHIP and 17:8 K:BB in 13.1 innings in his three starts for Triple-A Norfolk since being promoted from Double-A Bowie on May 22.
ANALYSIS
Bradish's control has been a bit shaky in his first three starts for Norfolk, but he's continued to miss bats a steady clip much like he did at Bowie during his first three outings of 2020. One of the prospects the Orioles received from the Angels in the December 2019 trade that sent Dylan Bundy to Anaheim, Bradish should have a chance to make his MLB debut later this summer if he remains on his current trajectory.
