Kyle Bradish threw only 28 pitches this season before making a trip to the injured list. The 26-year-old struck out two and allowed a hit before taking a 104-mph comebacker off his right foot against the Rangers. Bradish attempted one warmup pitch, grimaced, and bolted for the dugout.
X-rays were negative, but Bradish suffered a bad bruise. His prognosis shifted from day-to-day to an IL stint when he proved unable to push off the mound with the usual amount of force.
Tyler Wells immediately distracted from the injury by volunteering to work in relief. Wells entered and tossed five no-hit innings in an eventual 2-0 Orioles victory.
