Bradish improved to 1-0 on Wednesday after holding the Nationals to five hits and one walk over six scoreless innings in the Orioles' 4-0 win. He struck out six in the 92-pitch start.

EDGE Analysis

After being activated from the 15-day injured list earlier in the day, Bradish was cleared to make his first start since April 3, when he exited his season debut after taking a line drive off his right foot. Bradish was plugged back into the rotation without any restriction Wednesday, as he made quick work of a Nationals offense that ranked 27th in team OPS (.650) heading into Wednesday. Bradish tentatively lines up for a tougher matchup his next time out versus the Red Sox early next week.

The Orioles reinstated Bradish (foot) from the 15-day injured list ahead of his scheduled start Wednesday in Washington.

EDGE Analysis

Baltimore optioned reliever Logan Gillaspie to Triple-A Norfolk to clear room on the 26-man active roster for Bradish, who is set to make his second start of the campaign after exiting his April 3 season debut in Texas with a right foot contusion. Bradish tossed 83 pitches and five innings in his lone rehab start for Double-A Bowie last Friday, so he shouldn't face any major workload restrictions as he steps back into the big-league rotation Wednesday.

Baltimore plans to activate Bradish (foot) off the 15-day injured list to start Wednesday's game against the Nationals, Dan Connolly of The Athletic reports.

EDGE Analysis

Expect Baltimore to officially confirm the transaction a few hours prior to the game's 7:05 p.m. ET start time. Bradish will be making his first start for Baltimore since suffering a right foot contusion in his season debut April 3. The right-hander threw 83 pitches in his rehab start for Double-A Bowie last Friday, so he should be able to work into the mid-to-late innings against a beatable Washington lineup.

Bradish built up to 83 pitches in Friday's rehab start for Double-A Bowie and said his foot is 100 percent healed, Steve Melewski of MASNSports.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

He gave up three earned runs on three hits and one walk with five strikeouts in five innings Thursday, and his comments after the outing suggest he's ready to return to the majors. Assuming he does get activated next week, he could start Wednesday in Washington on normal rest or in the weekend series at home against the Tigers on extra rest following Thursday's off day.

EDGE Analysis

Bradish has had no setbacks since going on the injured list with a bruised right foot after taking a comebacker there in his season debut. Assuming all goes well during his rehab start, Bradish could be an option to pitch during next week's series versus the Nationals -- he is eligible to return April 19.

Orioles manager Brandon Hyde said Monday that Bradish (foot) will make a rehab start with a minor-league affiliate within the next few days, Jake Rill of MLB.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Bradish threw a 44-pitch bullpen session Saturday without issue and will test out his bruised right foot in a game setting soon. All signs point to him rejoining the Orioles' rotation when first eligible April 19 or shortly after.

Bradish (foot) will play catch Friday, Roch Kubatko of MASNSports.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Bradish probably didn't need the full 15 days to recover from his right foot contusion, but the Orioles wanted to play it safe with the right-hander, placing him on the IL earlier this week. He is on pace to rejoin Baltimore's rotation when first eligible April 19.

The Orioles placed Bradish (foot) on the 15-day injured list Wednesday, Dan Connolly of The Athletic reports.

EDGE Analysis

As anticipated, the right foot contusion that Bradish sustained when he was struck by a line drive will be significant enough to sideline him for at least two weeks. He'll be eligible for activation as soon as April 19, but he'll likely need to resume throwing at some point next week for a minimum-length stay on the IL to become a reality. The Orioles recalled Grayson Rodriguez from Triple-A Norfolk in a corresponding move and will turn to him to fill Bradish's spot in the rotation beginning with Wednesday's game at Texas.

Orioles manager Brandon Hyde said Bradish is still dealing with a sore foot Tuesday and may spend time on the injured list, Jake Rill of MLB.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Bradish was removed from Monday's win over the Rangers after taking a 104-mph line drive to the foot. Initial X-rays came back negative, but it seems Bradish may still need to miss a couple starts and spend time on the injured list.
