The Baltimore Orioles will activate right-hander Kyle Bradish (foot) from the 15-day injured list to have him start against the Washington Nationals on Wednesday. Bradish landed on the injured list when he suffered a right foot contusion in his first start of the year back on April 3, but he's ready to return now and has a pretty good matchup in his first start back. The 26-year-old shouldn't have any restrictions on Wednesday night in D.C. He tossed only 1 2/3 innings against the Texas Rangers on April 3 before injuring his foot, and he didn't allow a run while walking one and striking out two. Even though the matchup is a nice one, Bradish is still a pretty risky fantasy streamer coming off the injured list.

Baltimore Orioles starting pitcher Kyle Bradish (foot) is scheduled to make a rehab start for Double-A Bowie on Friday while recovering from a right foot contusion. Manager Brandon Hyde said he is hopeful the 26-year-old will be able to pitch four or five innings. Bradish entered the season as an intriguing late-round fantasy pick but exited his first start after being hit in the foot by a line drive. Hopefully, he will be able to provide some serviceable innings to what has been a lackluster pitching staff so far.

Baltimore Orioles manager Brandon Hyde said that right-hander Kyle Bradish (foot) threw a side session that went well on Saturday. Bradish was hit by a comeback on his right foot in his outing last Monday and was placed on the 15-day injured list. The 26-year-old didn't break any bones in his foot, though, and he should be able to come off the injured list when he's first eligible on April 19. He made it through only 1 2/3 innings in his season debut on April 3 against the Texas Rangers before getting hurt, giving up one hit and no runs while walking one and striking out two. Bradish has been dominant in the minor leagues but has yet to really put it together in Baltimore, so fantasy managers will want to be patient.

Baltimore Orioles right-hander Kyle Bradish left his Monday start against the Texas Rangers early after he was hit on the leg by a comebacker in the second inning. Bradish was off to a good start in the game, throwing 1 2/3 innings of scoreless ball with two strikeouts and one walk before departing after Jonah Heim hit the comebacker off of the pitcher's leg. Bradish was quickly replaced on the mound by Danny Coulombe. Stay tuned for Baltimore to update Bradish's status, most likely following Monday's game.

Baltimore Orioles starting pitcher Kyle Bradish is scheduled to make his season debut against the Texas Rangers on Monday. He'll be the team's fourth starter with Tyler Wells getting the nod as the fifth starter on Tuesday. Bradish was hit-or-miss during his outings in spring training. He does have the stuff to succeed in the MLB, but hasn't quite put it all together yet. That being said, fantasy managers should take a wait-and-see approach here. Bradish is probably worth avoiding during his season debut against a tough Rangers lineup.

Baltimore Orioles starting pitcher Kyle Bradish couldn't follow up his previous outstanding outing against the Houston Astros with another such performance Tuesday, as he was knocked out after recording just seven outs against the Boston Red Sox in a 13-9 loss. Bradish gave up seven runs on four hits, four walks, and a hit-by-pitch. He struck out three batters and somehow avoided taking the loss. This outing lifts his ERA and WHIP to 5.11 and 1.39 with 106 strikeouts in 112 2/3 innings this year. Fantasy managers looking to stream Bradish were sorely disappointed. He can be left on the wire the rest of the way.

Baltimore Orioles starting pitcher Kyle Bradish was superb on Thursday as he shut down the Astros bats over 8 2/3 IP during his club's 2-0 victory. He allowed just two hits and struck out 10 batters without issuing a walk in the 100-pitch performance, falling just one out shy of the complete game. He retired the first 17 batters he faced on the night before a single broke up his no-hit bid in the sixth, and then he never allowed another base runner until Jeremy Pena singled with two outs in the ninth to chase him from the game. Bradish has dropped his ERA nearly a full run since the end of August to 4.65 to go along with a 1.35 WHIP through 110 1/3 IP so far in his rookie campaign. He's looking like a terrific late-season addition as managers will want to start him with confidence next week versus the Red Sox.

Baltimore Orioles starting pitcher Kyle Bradish was excellent on Thursday, tossing seven innings of shutout baseball as his club bested the Guardians 3-0. The righty allowed just two singles while striking out five and walking three in the 94-pitch effort to improve his record to 3-5 on the year. Bradish was fresh off an eight-inning gem versus Houston last week where he allowed zero runs on two hits, although he still owns a 5.17 ERA on the season. The rookie did pitch to a 3.14 ERA in August, so perhaps he is starting to get comfortable in the majors, but he'll face a tougher test next week when the Blue Jays come to town.

Baltimore Orioles right-hander Kyle Bradish (shoulder) is scheduled to make a rehab start at Double-A Bowie on Saturday. The 25-year-old has been out since late June due to right shoulder inflammation. He's shown some promising flashes this year, including a game back in early May when he struck out 11 Cardinals over seven innings, but overall he's been hit extremely hard in his first stint in the majors. Across 10 starts, he's gone 1-4 with a 7.38 ERA and a 1.77 WHIP.

Baltimore Orioles starting pitcher Kyle Bradish (shoulder) threw on flat ground on Friday, according to Roch Kubatko of MASNsports.com. He is now slated to throw a bullpen session at some point in the next few days. Bradish has been on the injured list for a week due to right shoulder inflammation. The 25-year-old has struggled in his first taste of the majors this year. Over 10 starts, he's gone 1-4 with an ugly 7.38 ERA and 1.77 WHIP.

The Baltimore Orioles placed rookie right-hander Kyle Bradish (shoulder) on the 15-day injured list on Friday with right shoulder inflammation and recalled right-hander Marcos Diplan from Triple-A Norfolk in a corresponding move. Bradish's IL placement is retroactive to June 21. The 25-year-old hasn't been very good in his first 10 major league starts -- 7.38 ERA, 1.77 WHIP, 11 homers allowed in 46 1/3 innings -- but he's been particularly bad recently for Baltimore in a starting role. Perhaps Bradish can work out some of his kinks during his minor league rehab assignment, but he's obviously not a starter that fantasy managers need to be stashing in deep mixed leagues while he's sidelined. It's unclear who will take his rotation spot in Baltimore.

The Baltimore Orioles have called up right-handed pitching prospect Kyle Bradish. He will make his MLB debut on Friday as the team's starting pitcher against the Boston Red Sox. The 25-year-old is ranked as the team's No. 10 overall prospect by MLB Pipeline. He's excelled over three starts at Triple-A this year, going 2-0 while pitching to a 1.20 ERA and 0.73 WHIP and averaging 10.2 K/9. According to Orioles manager Brandon Hyde, Bradish could pitch six innings and throw 85-90 pitches in his debut.
