Bradford signed a minor-league contract with the Braves on Tuesday, Jeff Passan of ESPN.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
The 31-year-old missed the entirety of last season while rehabbing from Tommy John surgery, and he'll attempt a comeback with the Braves in 2021. Bradford last pitched for the Mariners in 2019, posting a 4.86 ERA, 1.26 WHIP and 11:4 K:BB over 16.2 innings. He was a solid bullpen piece for Seattle the year prior with a 3.69 ERA in 46 outings.

Bradford (elbow) announced Tuesday via his personal Twitter account that he has resumed throwing bullpen sessions.
EDGE Analysis
According to Bradford, Tuesday's workout marked the first time he's gotten back on a mound since undergoing Tommy John surgery last August. The right-hander was outrighted off Seattle's 40-man roster in October and isn't expected to return to competitive action until the 2021 season.

Bradford (elbow) was outrighted to Triple-A Tacoma on Monday.
EDGE Analysis
Bradford underwent Tommy John surgery at the end of August, and he'll likely miss the 2020 season while rehabbing. Ryon Healy and Connor Sadzeck were also outrighted to Triple-A.

Bradford underwent Tommy John surgery, Ryan Divish of The Seattle Times reports.
EDGE Analysis
Bradford has been on the injured list since June with a right elbow strain, and it's since been determined that he needs surgery. He's set to miss the entire 2020 campaign and potentially part of the 2021 season.

Bradford (elbow) is feeling better according to manager Scott Servais, but he's yet to resume throwing, Sarah Wexler of MLB.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
Bradford was shifted to the 60-day injured list June 23, and he won't be eligible for a return until early August. Therefore, the fact he's yet to pick up a baseball isn't necessarily a concern at this point, other than it underscores that his strain was significant. Bradford is likely in for a fairly extensive rehab assignment when he reaches that phase of his recovery, given that he last saw game action at the beginning of June.

Bradford (elbow) was transferred to the 60-day injured list Sunday.
EDGE Analysis
Bradford had been out since early June with an elbow strain. He'll now be ineligible to return until early August. The move (along with Jesse Biddle being designated for assignment) clears space on the 40-man roster for the additions of Matt Carasiti and Mike Wright.

Bradford (elbow) should resume throwing soon, Greg Johns of MLB.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
Bradford first went on the injured list June 3 with what eventually was diagnosed as a Grade 1 right elbow strain. The Mariners have taken it slow with Bradford, who's been shut down from throwing since that point. The right-hander is still likely several weeks away from activation, as he'll presumably still need to progress to bullpen sessions and a minor-league rehab assignment before activation.

Bradford (elbow) will remain shut down from throwing for at least another week, Greg Johns of MLB.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
An early-week MRI revealed a Grade 1 flexor strain for Bradford, who officially went on the 10-day injured list as a result. Bradford is expected to be sidelined much longer, with Johns reporting that a one-month timeline appears to be the most realistic outlook at present.

Bradford was diagnosed with a Grade 1 right elbow strain after undergoing an MRI on Tuesday, Greg Johns of MLB.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
While it's positive news that Bradford's elbow strain is of the least severe degree, it's still expected that he'll remain on the shelf for multiple weeks while recovering from the injury. With a 4.86 ERA, 1.26 WHIP, no saves and one hold through 12 relief appearances this season, Bradford was already off the fantasy radar even in most AL-only leagues prior to getting hurt.

Bradford was placed on the 10-day injured list Monday with a right forearm strain, Ryan Divish of The Seattle Times reports.
EDGE Analysis
Bradford, who was recalled from Triple-A Tacoma over the weekend, made just two appearances with the Mariners before suffering the injury. While the severity of the issue is not yet known, forearm injuries are often the precursor of a more serious injury, so the Mariners figure to handle Bradford with care. As such, the right-hander figures to spend more than the 10-day minimum on the IL. Matt Festa was recalled from Tacoma in a corresponding move.
