It’s been a while since we’ve gotten to say these words, but: it’s Kyle Bradish day.
The Orioles’ breakout starting pitcher of 2023, Bradish is back on the Orioles’ roster for the first time in 2024, and frankly much earlier than I’d expected. When the O’s announced on the first day of spring training that Bradish had a sprained UCL in his right elbow, my first, panicked thought — the same as many others’, I’m sure — involved the initials T and J. Welp, we’re not seeing him again until 2025, I figured.
But Bradish’s treatment of platelet-rich plasma injections appears to have staved off elbow surgery, at least for now.
