Bradley (elbow) is expected to begin a throwing program soon, the Associated Press reports.
EDGE Analysis
Bradley fractured his right elbow during a team brawl against the Mariners on June 26. The righty reliever is currently on the 60-day injured list and isn't eligible to be activated until late August. Should Bradley progress smoothly in his throwing program, he could be back with the Angels for the final month of the campaign.

Bradley (elbow) was transferred to the 60-day injured list Saturday.
EDGE Analysis
Bradley's shift to the 60-day injured list doesn't come as a major surprise, as he'll be shut down from throwing for approximately four weeks after landing on the IL with a right elbow fracture Tuesday. The right-hander won't be eligible to return until at least late August, and a better idea of his timetable is unlikely to come into focus until he resumes throwing.

Bradley was placed on the 15-day injured list Tuesday with a right elbow fracture, Sam Blum of The Athletic reports.
EDGE Analysis
According to Jeff Fletcher of The Orange County Register, Bradley will be shut down from throwing for four weeks before being allowed to start a throwing program, so he'll likely spend at least two months on the shelf. The veteran righty had been pitching quite well, logging a 2.08 ERA and 1.08 WHIP over his last 16 appearances, although he had just 10 strikeouts in 13 innings over that stretch.

Bradley (0-1) took the loss against Seattle on Saturday, allowing three unearned runs on no hits and two walks while striking out one batter over two-thirds of an inning.
EDGE Analysis
Bradley relieved starter Patrick Sandoval in the sixth inning and walked two of the first three batters he faced. An error by third baseman Tyler Wade loaded the bases, but Bradley was able to strike out Eugenio Suarez before being pulled for Jose Quijada. Quijada then allowed all three inherited runners to score, pinning the loss on Bradley. This was his first defeat of the campaign, but he's struggled with consistency, posting a 4.82 ERA, 1.29 WHIP and 3.4 BB/9 across 18.2 innings.

Bradley earned a save against the Mariners in Game 2 of a doubleheader Saturday with a perfect inning of work.
EDGE Analysis
Regular closer Raisel Iglesias pitched an inning and earned the win in the first game of the twin bill, with Jose Quijada earning the save in that contest. As such, manager Phil Nevin called on Bradley to close things out with Los Angeles up 3-0 in the ninth inning of the nightcap, and the veteran succeeded by retiring all three batters he faced on only six pitches. This was Bradley's first save since late April, and he shouldn't be expected to see frequent ninth-inning opportunities given Iglesias' firm grip on the closer role.

Bradley (abdomen) was activated off the injured list Monday.
EDGE Analysis
Bradley had been sidelined since late April due to an abdominal strain, but he's ready to go after making a single rehab appearance. He struggled to a 7.27 ERA in eight outings prior to his injury, so the Angels will be hoping for much more from him upon his return.

Bradley (abdomen) will begin a rehab assignment at Single-A Inland Empire on Saturday, Sam Blum of The Athletic reports.
EDGE Analysis
Bradley threw a pair of bullpen sessions this week and is expected to throw an inning with the Angels' minor-league affiliate Saturday. He hasn't pitched in a game since April 29, so it's possible he'll require several rehab appearances prior to rejoining the major-league roster. However, Bradley will likely reclaim a high-leverage role in the Angels' bullpen once he's activated.

Bradley (abdomen) tossed a bullpen session Monday and is slated for another Wednesday, Jeff Fletcher of The Orange County Register reports.
EDGE Analysis
Bradley presumably came out of his initial bullpen session fine since he's scheduled for another two days later. The right-hander last pitched in a game April 29 and was initially expected to miss 4-to-6 weeks, and it looks like he could be able to return during the early portion of that window. Bradley should return to a prominent role in the Angels' bullpen when he's activated.

Bradley (abdomen) will resume throwing next week, Sam Blum of The Athletic reports.
EDGE Analysis
Bradley has been out for a week with a left abdominal strain. He was initially given a timeline of 4-to-6 weeks, but he's making good progress and could potentially beat that window.

Bradley was placed on the 10-day injured list with a left abdominal strain Saturday, Jeff Fletcher of The Orange County Register reports.
EDGE Analysis
The right-hander struck out two in three innings while earning a save and two holds over his last three outings, but he'll now be sidelined for at least a week and a half due to his abdominal injury. Aaron Loup and Mike Mayers are candidates for increased setup duties in Bradley's absence.
