Was 2018 a walk-off win? What was the winning hit? Doesn't compare today to the fireworks, but I do remember a satisfying OD win in recent memory.

You're right that UCL injuries require surgery in most cases. However, the fact he hasn't had surgery and instead got a PRP injection suggests that his is incredibly minor and he may be able to avoid surgery. I believe someone posted some paper here that said something like 2/3s of players who get a PRP injection instead of Tommy John avoid surgery for the next five years.
If the only information we had was "Bradish has a UCL injury" then yeah, our best guess would be that he won't pitch much or at all this year. But we have more information than that.
