Player Outlook
The manner in which Kyle 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.

  • Orioles' Kyle Bradish: Goes on 15-day IL

    The Orioles placed Bradish (elbow) on the 15-day injured list Thursday. 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.

  • Orioles' Kyle Bradish: Expected back early in first half

    Orioles general manager Mike Elias said Friday that Bradish (elbow) is expected to rejoin the rotation early in the first half of the season, Rich Dubroff of BaltimoreBaseball.com reports. It's a vague timeline, which no doubt was purposeful on Elias' part. Everything has been trending in the right direction for Bradish since he was diagnosed with a partially torn UCL in his right elbow in mid-February, and he recently progressed to bullpen sessions. The right-hander still has a long road ahead, but the hope remains that he can avoid surgery.

  • Orioles' Kyle Bradish: Elbow responding well

    Orioles manager Brandon Hyde said Tuesday that Bradish's right elbow is responding "well right now" to the pitcher's throwing program, Andy Kostka of TheBaltimoreBanner.com reports. Bradish resumed mound work last Wednesday after weeks of flat-ground throwing. While the right-hander has thrown almost all fastballs, Hyde admitted that Bradish "might have spun a couple breaking balls," as well. It remains relatively early on in Bradish's rehab from a partially torn UCL, but so far things have progressed as well as can be expected.
