It’s official: Kyle Bradish is out for the year and a lot of next year. Orioles GM Mike Elias announced prior to Wednesday’s game against the Yankees that Bradish underwent Tommy John surgery earlier today. You can start the 12-month clock and spend the 12 months hoping that it doesn’t end up more like a 14- or even 16-month recovery, which effectively takes him out of the whole 2025 season planning as well.
This is disappointing, if not surprising, news to receive. It’s not completely out of the blue because, after all, Bradish is on the injured list for the second time this year with a UCL sprain.
