Rest-of-Season Projections
2024 Fantasy Outlook
The manner in which Bradish finished 2022 teased an impending breakout, but no one expected the fourth-lowest ERA among qualifiers. Granted, he benefited from a .270 BABIP and 79.1% left-on-base mark, but Bradish's 18.5 K-BB% was 18th among qualified starters. The major difference from the previous season was Bradish threw fewer four-seamers while upping sinker usage as well as adding velocity and spin to his curveball. The cumulative effects generated more grounders and swinging strikes. However, his ascent to the top of the Baltimore rotation suffered a setback in February when it was reported that Bradish had been diagnosed with a sprained UCL in his right elbow. While the plan is to go the rest-and-rehab route, the threat of Tommy John surgery will hang in the air like a dark cloud. The Orioles are already saying that he will miss the start of the season, though Bradish is expected to start a throwing program relatively early on in camp. Read Past Outlooks
Goes on 15-day IL
The Orioles placed Bradish (elbow) on the 15-day injured list Thursday.
ANALYSIS
The fact that Bradish is opening the season on the 15-day IL rather than the 60-day IL supports the notion that the Orioles are hopeful the 27-year-old will avoid a longer-term absence to begin the season while he recovers from a right UCL sprain. Bradish remains likely to miss all of April, but since he resumed throwing bullpen sessions more than two weeks ago, the right-hander is seemingly on pace to pitch at some point in May, barring any setbacks in the ramp-up process.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
Competing for rotation spot
Bradish is one of a host of Orioles pitchers competing for a spot in the Opening Day rotation, Andy Kostka of The Baltimore Banner reports.
ANALYSIS
Only new additions Kyle GIbson and Cole Irvin are considered locks for the rotation, so there will be three spots up for grabs. Top prospect Grayson Rodriguez has been talked up as a likely candidate by general manager Mike Elias, while Bradish, Tyler Wells and Dean Kremer are among the other favorites. Bradish went through ups and downs during his rookie season last year, but he finished the campaign allowing three earned runs or fewer in 12 of his final 13 starts.

Past Fantasy Outlooks
2023
2022
Bradish was the exact oppostive of everything we would expect from a righty pitcher in Baltimore in 2022. He had a 5.00 ERA and a .288/.348/.479 triple-slash at Camden Yards and a 4.77 ERA with a .239/.331/.349 triple-slash pitching anywhere else. Doubling down on the confusion was a .280/.347/.456 against righties and a .235/.326/.346 against lefties despite a repertoire that portends the exact opposite situation. He had a disastrous first half, but after returning to the big leagues, he posted a 3.28 ERA and twice shut down the World Champion Astros over 8 innings while scattering 2 hits with 16 strikeouts. The minor league numbers have been dominant, but it wasn't until that first outing against Houston in late August that it finally came together at the big league level. The final second half numbers would have been even better if not for a disastrous outing against Boston at the end of September. An interesting note: the names of similar pitches to Bradish based on velocity and movement on StatCast includes names like Corbin Burnes, Zac Gallen, and Drew Rasmussen. The last name on that list is a very interesting comp given the step forward Rasmussen took in 2022 despite similar challenges in developing an effective changeup.
