Kyle Bradish Has Sprained UCL, Will Start Season On IL (4/9 Update: Assigned rehab assignment w/Aberdeen)

[Frobby]

“Bradish will make his second rehab start on April 21, when he'll pitch for Triple-A Norfolk at Jacksonville. The 27-year-old right-hander made his first rehab start on April 16, tossing three scoreless innings for Double-A Bowie vs. Altoona. He allowed one hit and struck out four while facing 10 batters and throwing 44 pitches (26 strikes). His fastball hit 95-96 mph on the radar gun at Prince George's Stadium.”

I'm not as concerned with the results but how he feels afterwards

Seemed ok on the app. Saw a lot of 95s.

Better than John Means' last start...FWIW.

I could have probably put up a better line than what Means put up. 

Anyway, this is basically spring for Bradish... not concerned about results. Concerned about the health of his UCL. 

[Mooreisbetter27]

Yep, more concerned that he feels good tomorrow and the following days. 

[O's84]

Yes, health is paramount.  Let's hope everything continues to go okay.

[Frobby]

Feeling healthy is the most important thing, but the outing itself was pretty disappointing considering how strong the previous one was.  I’ll hope for better on Friday.

Bradish's rehab start for Bowie last year in 2023 didn't go so well. But he still returned to perform so good that he got Cy Young votes. So I'm not putting much stock into the stat line. Like others are saying, how his arm feels and his health is what's important.

Velo still up, got his work in, tinkered with some stuff maybe. Sounds like a guy set to be in the rotation making his next to last start  in Spring training. Corbin Burns says hello.

Nice to hear about the velo.  

Hoping there's no issues after.  All that really matters for me is that he gets through rehab with no issues.

44 to 58 pitches. I think he gets two more starts down there. They’ll increase him another 10 each outing. Get him to that 75-80 range. That’s what Hyde said the goal was for the pitchers coming out of ST, 75 pitches.
