Bradish left Monday's game against the Rangers with a right foot contusion, Roch Kubatko of MASNSports.com reports. Preliminary X-rays were negative for a fracture and he will undergo further evaluation and testing.

EDGE Analysis

It's unfortunate because Bradish was off to a great start with a couple strikeouts over 1.2 scoreless frames before taking a 104-mph comebacker off his foot. We should learn in the coming days whether he will be able to make his scheduled start this weekend against the Yankees.

Bradish has left Monday's start against the Rangers after being hit in his right leg by a comebacker in the second inning, Jake Rill of MLB.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Bradish took a 104 mph liner off his right leg and was unable to continue after attempting a warmup pitch shortly after. The right-hander went 1.2 innings without allowing a run while picking up two strikeouts before exiting. For now, Bradish should be considered day-to-day.

Bradish is expected to begin the season as a member of the Orioles rotation after Grayson Rodriguez was informed Monday that he won't be part of the 26-man Opening Day roster, Jake Rill of MLB.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Neither Bradish nor Tyler Wells pitched particularly well in spring training, but with Rodriguez likely to head to Triple-A Norfolk and John Means (elbow) likely out until at least mid-season, Baltimore should have back-end rotation spots available for both Bradish and Wells. A string of poor outings ended up taking Rodriguez out of the Opening Day mix, but the talented right-hander remains Baltimore's top pitching prospect and likely won't require much time to iron things out at Norfolk. With that in mind, both Bradish and Wells may need to show improved results in their first few starts of the regular season to lock themselves into a permanent spot whenever Rodriguez is deemed ready for the big leagues.

Bradish was tagged for nine runs on nine hits and a walk while striking out two over 2.1 innings versus the Phillies in Monday's Grapefruit League game.

EDGE Analysis

Bradish's messy outing comes at an awful time for the right-hander, as the Orioles have started paring down their rotation candidates. Prior to Monday, he'd given up just two earned runs over nine innings, and it's encouraging he wasn't immediately optioned out after the poor start. He'll likely have one last audition before the Orioles break camp, but it's quite possible he ends up on the outside looking in. Whether that's at Triple-A Norfolk or as part of the big-league bullpen is to be determined.

Bradish added a sweeping motion to his slider and also worked on his sinker in the offseason, Nathan Ruiz of The Baltimore Sun reports.

EDGE Analysis

Bradish and fellow teammate Dean Kremer worked out together during the offseason for the season year in a row, giving each other tips on their pitches. Bradish leaned on his slider versus right-handed hitters late last season. Both Kremer and Bradish are vying for spots in the back half of the Orioles' rotation, though their major-league experience and relative success compared to other candidates should give them an edge if they pitch well in the spring.

Bradish yielded one unearned run on three hits and five walks over five innings against the Yankees on Sunday. He struck out five and did not factor in the decision.

EDGE Analysis

Bradish needed 99 pitched (58 strikes) to get through five frames so he didn't get credited for the win after the Orioles took the lead in the seventh inning. The 26-year-old righty bounced back well after getting crushed for seven runs in his last outing against Boston. He finished his rookie year with a 4.90 ERA and a 111:46 K:BB through 23 starts. Since returning to the mound in late July after a shoulder injury, Bradish registered a 3.28 ERA across 71.1 frames.

Bradish pitched 2.1 innings, surrendering seven runs on four hits and four walks while striking out three in Tuesday's 13-9 loss to the Red Sox. He did not factor into the decision.

EDGE Analysis

Bradish gave up a two-run homer to Triston Casas in the bottom of the second inning before he was tagged with five more runs in the following frame while only making one out. The right-hander's performance Tuesday was completely opposite of his last outing Thursday versus the Astros where he fell just short of a complete-game shutout. Prior to the difficult start, Bradish had produced a 1.64 ERA and 0.78 WHIP with 30 punchouts over 38.1 innings in his last six outings. His season-long numbers now stand at a 5.11 ERA and 1.39 WHIP with 106 strikeouts over 112.2 frames in 22 starts.

Bradish (4-7) earned the win Thursday without allowing a run on two hits over 8.2 innings against the Astros. He struck out 10 without walking a batter.

EDGE Analysis

Bradish did not allow an extra-base hit in this stellar outing. After a bumpy start to his major-league career, the 26-year-old rookie has kept his opponent off the board while throwing seven innings or more during three of his last six starts, turning in a 1.64 ERA and 0.78 WHIP and allowing only one homer during that span.

Bradish (3-7) allowed five runs (three earned) on six hits and a walk with three strikeouts in 4.2 innings, taking the loss Saturday versus the Blue Jays.

EDGE Analysis

Bradish gave up three runs over the first two innings, and then put two runners aboard in the fifth that Jake Reed allowed to score on Raimel Tapia's three-run double. Bradish has quality starts in three of his last five outings, but the two that weren't quality both came against Toronto. The rookie right-hander owns a 5.05 ERA, 1.45 WHIP and 93:37 K:BB through 101.2 innings across 20 starts this year. He's lined up for an even tougher start at home versus Houston next week.

Bradish (3-6) allowed one run on two hits and two walks over seven innings Sunday, striking out three and taking a loss against Boston.

EDGE Analysis

After coughing up an RBI sacrifice fly to Xander Bogaerts in the first inning, Bradish turned in six scoreless innings. Unfortunately for him, the Orioles were shut out in the 1-0 loss. Bradish has given up three or fewer runs in nine consecutive starts, posting a 2.84 ERA during that stretch. He's lowered his season ERA to 5.01 with a 90:36 K:BB across 97 innings. Bradish is lined up to start in Toronto next weekend.
