The Orioles announced yesterday that has joined the squad at High-A Aberdeen and will begin a rehab a signment soon. Hes been on the 15-day injured list since the beginning of the season. The news is surely pleasant for fans of the Os, especially considering where things stood just a couple of months ago. Back in the middle of February, Bradish was diagnosed with a sprained ulnar collateral ligament in his right elbow. Since that is the ligament that is repaired in Tommy John surgery, many began to fret that Bradish would need to go under the knife and mi s the entire 2024 season and perhaps even part of 2025 as well. Instead, Bradish received a platelet-rich plasma injection and began a throwing program. Just a few weeks after the initial diagnosis of the sprain, general manager Mike Elias that subsequent MRIs had shown accelerated healing of the ligament. The fact that hes now set to embark on a rehab a signment suggests that things have continued to progre s in a positive direction. The Orioles went into the offseason with a strong roster but the rotation was clearly a relatively weaker part of it. They did make a huge trade to acquire but the group still felt a bit lackluster, especially since the O Reggie Perry Jersey s could have done more. With a farm system thats considered by some to be the best in the league and almost no future payroll commitments, they could have done more trading or made a splash in free agency. The latter scenario was especially open to the Os as starting pitchers languished on the open market well after Bradishs injury diagnosis, including big names like and or even back-of-the-rotation types like . The injury to Bradish and the continued absence of left Baltimore with a rotation of Burnes, , , and to open the year. Last year, Irvin had a 4.81 ERA as a starter and got moved to the bullpen frequently. Wells had a 3.64 ERA last year but with an unsustainable .200 batting average on balls in play and 82.6% strand rate, which is why his 4.98 FIP and 4.19 SIERA werent as impre sive. With Bradish now on the mend, that group will be bolstered in a few weeks, a suming everything goes smooth with the rehab. Bradish had a 2.98 ERA last year over his 30 starts. He combined a 25% strikeout rate with a 6.6% walk rate and 49.2% ground ball rate, with all three of those being a few ticks better than league average. The Os have not moved him to the 60-day IL, so hell be eligible to be activated as soon as hes healthy. If Bradish returns and the other arms in the rotation are also healthy, the club will have to make a decision about who to bump out. Irvin is out of options but he could perhaps move to a long relief role in the bullpen if hes the one squeezed out of the rotation. Jordan Bowden Jersey
