Rangers pitcher Cody Bradford is beginning the season on the 15-day injured list due to recent elbow soreness, although an MRI revealed no significant issues. Following a ten-day shutdown, his recovery will dictate whether he can resume throwing. Historically, Bradford has shown promise, logging over 132 innings last season with a 3.54 ERA. However, injury issues have hindered his performance, and he will prioritize rehabilitation over immediate play, maintaining the potential for a return depending on his health post-recovery period.
I can't tell you if this is something that's going to linger and last longer than a day or two to get the soreness knocked out.
The time off will allow it to calm down. But anytime the pitcher has pain in the elbow, it's concerning.
Bradford logged 132 1/3 innings for the Rangers, allowing 4.28 earned runs per nine and finished the year having made 13 starts.
He'll have to focus on his health for the time being, as he's been a key player with a solid performance in the prior season.
