Kyle Bradish Fantasy Stats

Baltimore Orioles starting pitcher Kyle Bradish had Tommy John surgery in June of 2024 and finally made his long-awaited return to the mound last August. The right-hander was superb in the six starts that he tallied, posting a 2.53 ERA, 1.03 WHIP, and an elite 29.4 percent K-BB%. In 30 starts back in 2023, the former fourth-rounder pitched to a 2.83 ERA, 1.04 WHIP, and 18.5 percent K-BB%, then logged a 2.75 ERA, 1.07 WHIP, and 23.3 percent K-BB% in his eight starts in 2024, so last year's success appeared to be a continuation of that stretch of dominance. Fantasy managers are hoping the 6-foot-3 hurler can replicate that success in 2026, and he's mostly looked the part through two spring starts. Although he's yielded four runs on seven hits, the New Mexico State product has walked just one while striking out seven in five innings of work. The hype has potentially driven his ADP of 81 into overvalued territory for someone who's made just 14 starts over the last two years and who could be on an innings limit in 2026, however, there is upside as well if he can make around 25 starts and log 150 innings, as fantasy managers would gladly roster a pitcher at that price who can provide 160 strikeouts while chipping in some wins, lowering ERA, and lowering WHIP along the way.

Baltimore Orioles starting pitcher Kyle Bradish is "expecting to be on some kind of innings limit in 2026," according to Matt Weyrich of the Baltimore Sun. Bradish recently recovered from Tommy John surgery, so the Orioles are going to closely monitor his workload to ensure he stays healthy and productive. He was sidelined from June 2024 to August 2025, and he was able to make six starts before the end of the regular season. Across those half-dozen outings, he posted a 2.45 FIP with 13.22 K/9, 2.81 BB/9, and 0.84 HR/9. His ground ball rate declined, but it came over a small sample size, and his results were still as impressive as ever before. Even with the Orioles managing his innings, Bradish projects as the team's ace and ranks as RotoBaller's #21 starting pitcher ahead of 2026 fantasy baseball drafts.

Baltimore Orioles right-hander Kyle Bradish has looked sharp early in camp and was seen striking out first baseman Pete Alonso on Thursday during live batting practice, according to Jake Rill of MLB.com. Although it was a small sample size of only 32 innings over six starts, Bradish looked outstanding in 2025 in his return from Tommy John surgery, allowing only nine earned runs on 23 hits (three homers) while walking 10 and striking out 47. He struck out nine or more hitters in half of his starts for a 37.3% strikeout rate. The 29-year-old surely won't be that dominant over a full season in 2026, but his work last year was extremely encouraging. Since the beginning of 2023, Bradish has a 2.78 ERA (3.03 FIP) and 1.05 WHIP with 268 K's and 69 walks in 240 innings over 44 starts for the O's. He's a nice No. 2 starting pitcher target in fantasy drafts this spring.

Right-hander Kyle Bradish won his salary arbitration hearing with the Baltimore Orioles on Tuesday, a source told Jake Rill of MLB.com. Bradish will make $3.55 million during the 2026 season. The Orioles had submitted a figure of $2.875 million. In his return from Tommy John surgery last year, the 29-year-old went 1-1 with a 2.53 ERA (2.45 FIP) and 1.03 WHIP with 47 strikeouts and 10 walks in 32 innings pitched over just six starts in his fourth year in the big leagues. Although it was a small sample size, Bradish's 37.3% strikeout rate was extremely impressive. He also went five innings in four of his starts and struck out nine or more in three outings. Fantasy managers shouldn't expect Bradish to be that dominant in 2026, but it's hard to argue with his results from the last three seasons (2.78 ERA and 268 K's in 240 innings). Bradish should be a low-end No. 2 target as a starting pitcher in fantasy in 2026.

After undergoing Tommy John surgery in June 2024, Baltimore Orioles starting pitcher Kyle Bradish missed the remainder of the 2024 season and the first four-plus months of 2025. However, the 29-year-old was able to finish the 2025 season on the mound, returning in late August and posting a 2.53 ERA and 1.03 WHIP with 47 strikeouts across 32 innings (six starts). While Bradish's elite 37.3% strikeout rate over a small sample in 2025 may not be sustainable over the course of a full season, it demonstrates his swing-and-miss upside. He recorded strong numbers in his last full campaign in 2023, logging a 12-7 record with a 2.83 ERA, 1.04 WHIP, and 168 strikeouts across 168 2/3 innings (30 starts). Entering 2026, Bradish appears to be fully healthy and should be locked in at the top of the Baltimore rotation. He still carries some health risk, but his strong finish after returning in 2025 should help ease those concerns. Bradish profiles as a solid fantasy SP2 with upside heading into 2026.

Baltimore Orioles right-hander Kyle Bradish continued his successful late-season return from Tommy John surgery on Sunday. The Orioles fell 7-1 to the New York Yankees, but Bradish did his best to pitch the O's to victory. He didn't factor into the decision after firing six innings of one-run, two-hit ball with nine strikeouts and two walks. After missing most of last year and the first four-plus months of this season, Bradish came off the injured list Aug. 26 and has logged ace-like numbers with a 2.25 ERA, a 1.00 WHIP, 39 strikeouts, and 10 walks over five starts and 28 innings. The 29-year-old is scheduled to face the Yankees again in his final start of the season next Sunday.

Baltimore Orioles right-hander Kyle Bradish (elbow) will come off the 60-day injured list to make his season debut on Tuesday against the division-rival Boston Red Sox at Camden Yards, according to Jake Rill of MLB.com. It will be Bradish's first start in the big leagues since June 14 of 2024 because of Tommy John surgery on his right elbow. The 28-year-old posted a 4.91 ERA and 1.41 WHIP in 22 innings over six starts on his minor-league rehab assignment, although he looked better towards the end of his rehab assignment. Bradish is worth a look for starting depth in deep-mixed and AL-only leagues now that he's back, but he'll be a pretty risky streamer right out of the gates against the BoSox in Baltimore. He threw 89 pitches in his final rehab start and should be pretty stretched out. Bradish had an ERA of under 3.00 in both 2023 and 2024 and has a 332:105 K:BB in 61 starts over his three MLB seasons.

Baltimore Orioles starting pitcher Kyle Bradish (elbow) is expected to make his season debut against the Boston Red Sox on Tuesday. Bradish has been sidelined all season while recovering from Tommy John surgery from last year. The right-hander got up to 89 pitches during his latest rehab outing. It sounds like Bradish is finally ready to contribute to the O's roster. It's unclear what exactly the O's are going to get out of Bradish at this point in the season. However, Bradish is probably worth snagging off the waiver wire for fantasy managers seeking pitching help.

Baltimore Orioles starting pitcher Kyle Bradish (elbow) completed his rehab assignment on Wednesday, throwing 89 pitches over 4 2/3 innings for Triple-A Norfolk. Baltimore Orioles interim manager Tony Mansolino said a few days ago that he expects Bradish to be activated off the 60-day injured list and make his season debut early next week. Bradish has made six rehab starts, working his way through recovery from Tommy John surgery in June of 2024. Bradish pitched around 21 innings throughout his rehab assignment with a 4.67 ERA and 1.33 WHIP, while racking up 25 strikeouts and eight walks. Keep an eye on his control as he makes his season debut next week. Fantasy managers searching for pitcher help or need a streamer can add Bradish in deep leagues.

Baltimore Orioles interim manager Tony Mansolino said on Monday that the team expects right-hander Kyle Bradish (elbow) to return to the starting rotation on Aug. 25, 26 or 27 from Monday through Wednesday in a home series against the division-rival Boston Red Sox. Bradish has been on the 60-day injured list all year as he recovers from Tommy John surgery that he had in June of last year. The 28-year-old will make one more minor-league rehab start before being activated. The O's have to be encouraged after he struck out nine in five scoreless innings in his last rehab start with Triple-A Norfolk. Although Bradish only made eight starts last year, fantasy managers shouldn't ignore him to close out the year after he posted a 2.81 ERA, 1.05 WHIP and 221:59 K:BB in 208 innings over 38 starts in 2023 and 2024. His first start next week against Boston will be one to avoid for fantasy purposes, though.
