Kyle Bradish Injury: Throws 37 pitches in rehab start

Bradish (elbow) made his first rehab start with High-A Aberdeen on Thursday, striking out four while allowing one earned run on two hits and one walk in two innings.

Bradish made his first appearance since undergoing Tommy John surgery last June, tossing 37 pitches over his two-inning appearance. The 28-year-old right-hander encouragingly touched 97 miles per hour with his fastball and also generated seven whiffs. Fantasy managers can consider Bradish worthy of stashing in most formats -- the righty held a strong 2.75 ERA, 1.07 WHIP and 53:15 K:BB over eight starts in 2024 before suffering the season-ending elbow injury -- but he's unlikely to rejoin Baltimore's rotation until mid-to-late August since he'll need several more rehab appearances to get stretched back out.
