Taj Bradley News
Tampa Bay Rays starting pitcher Taj Bradley (pectoral) is expected to join Triple-A Durham for a rehab assignment beginning on Sunday, April 28. Bradley felt tightness in his pectoral muscle before a scheduled start on March 12 and has remained on the sideline since. This a great sign for the 23-year-old as he is nearing the final step of his recovery process. Bradley made his major league debut last season and showcased high strikeout potential as he tallied 129 punchouts in 104 innings. However, he did post a hefty 5.59 ERA and 1.39 WHIP. Bradley should be expected to join the Rays rotation when cleared and could be worth rostering in deeper formats.
Tampa Bay Rays starting pitcher Taj Bradley (pectoral) appears to be making solid progress in his recovery process. The right-hander is reportedly scheduled to head to Triple-A soon to begin a rehab assignment. Bradley has been sidelined since late March due to a pectoral strain. The organization's original timetable was that Bradley would miss at least six weeks of action. It seems like Bradley should be able to beat that timetable, but fantasy managers should stay tuned for more information.
Tampa Bay Rays starting pitcher Taj Bradley (pectoral) threw a three-inning simulated game on Wednesday. Bradley will pitch four innings in an extended spring training game before potentially starting a minor-league rehab assignment, as he still has to go through the process of rebuilding his stamina and upping his pitch count before he's ready to return to the Rays. The 23-year-old former top prospect is making good progress on the mend from a strained right pectoral, and if all continues to go well in his recovery, he appears to be on track to rejoin Tampa Bay's injury-ravaged rotation in early-to-mid May. Swingman Zack Littell has fared well as a starter to begin the 2024 season, registering a 2.14 ERA and 1.33 WHIP while striking out 22 batters and walking just five over his first 21 innings (four starts). Ahead of Monday's scheduled start against the Detroit Tigers, Littell is worth rostering as a streamer for fantasy managers.

Tampa Bay Rays right-hander Taj Bradley largely impressed in his big-league debut in 2023 despite what his surface ERA might suggest. While he posted a 5.59 ERA in 23 outings (21 starts) the then-22-year-old also posted a 3.83 xFIP, 3.82 SIERA, and a big-time 28% K% across his 104 2/3 innings of work. While he struggled mightily in 10 Triple-A starts, he has put forth dominant numbers and big strikeout rates in his minor-league career. A spring pectoral issue has had him shut down for a couple of weeks and he will begin the season on the injured list. Nevertheless, he will be afforded every opportunity in a depleted Rays rotation upon his return and if his 2023 work is any indication, he is every bit worthy of an investment at his 279.37 ADP as what will hopefully be a short-term injury stash.
