    Kyle Bradish limited the Red Sox to one run over six innings as the Orioles snapped Boston’s 15-game winning streak with a 5-1 win in the second game of Wednesday’s doubleheader.

    Bradish allowed four hits, walked one and struck out four on a cool 10 days’ rest tonight. He was originally supposed to pitch Sunday but was pushed back after signing his five-year extension Saturday and then his scheduled start Tuesday was rained out. Bradish is 4-2 with a 2.03 ERA in his last six starts. He’ll pitch in Detroit next week.

    Bradish dealt with the injury over his final three starts of the season and was placed on the injured list on September 13th. The recovery from this surgery is usually a couple of months long, so he should be able to have a relatively normal offseason and build up to the necessary arm strength by spring training.

    Nothing has changed in the prognosis for Bradish, who has been shelved since mid-September due to a sports hernia injury. This was merely done as a procedural move to clear a spot on the Orioles’ 40-man roster for the return of Albert Suarez on Thursday.
  • BAL Starting Pitcher #38
    Albernaz added that Bradish is reviewing his potential options. He’s most likely going to require surgery, which will impact his offseason throwing program. The 30-year-old hit the injured list with abdominal discomfort over the weekend. He’s obviously done for the remainder of the season and can be safely dropped in all fantasy formats.

    The issue cropped up for Bradish during Saturday’s start against the Blue Jays. With only a couple of weeks left in the season, it seems likely that this will end his 2026 campaign prematurely. Yaramil Hiraldo was recalled from Triple-A Norfolk to add a fresh arm to the Orioles’ bullpen on Sunday.

    It’s probably time for the Orioles to shut down Bradish, who is up to 155 innings in his first full season back from Tommy John. This is the third time in four starts that he’s failed to complete five innings, and he’s allowed 33 runs — 27 earned — in 41 2/3 innings while going 0-5 in his last nine starts. He’s due to make his next start Friday against the Brewers, but we’ll have to wait and see if that happens.

    The runs came in the second on a walk, a Gunnar Henderson error and then a homer from Eli White. Bradish allowed just one other hit, but he walked four in all. With the Orioles losing six straight and close to being out of contention, it’s possible Bradish will be shut down for the last week or two of the season. He’s at 152 innings this year after coming in at 39 and 54 the previous two seasons, which were interrupted by Tommy John surgery. As things stand now, he’s slated to face the Blue Jays next weekend.
  • BAL Starting Pitcher #38
    After a scoreless first inning in Colorado, Bradish gave up a solo homer to Adael Amador in the second. A triple and a base hit plated one more run for the Rockies before Bradish could get to the third inning. He gave the Orioles three more scoreless frames before ending his day after five at 95 pitches. He struck out four. The 29-year-old right-hander will take a 4.01 ERA, 1.42 WHIP, and a 137/64 K/BB ratio across 148 innings into a start against the Red Sox in Baltimore on Sunday.

    Cade Povich will start Monday’s series opener against the Rockies at Coors Field with Bradish taking the ball on Tuesday instead. There doesn’t appear to be a physical issue at play here, but the Orioles want to give him some extra rest. The 29-year-old is coming off a disastrous outing against the Cardinals last week where he was torched for seven runs over 4 1/3 innings. It’s challenging to trust Bradish in Coors Field, especially in shallow mixed leagues. There’s a chance his next outing against the Red Sox this weekend could also get pushed back, eliminating a two-start week in the process. There are superior alternatives on the waivers wire in most shallow mixed leagues.

    Bradish allowed only a Nolan Gorman solo homer through four before giving up two singles, two walks and two doubles in the fifth. None of the hits were particularly impressive — the two that were hard-hit were both grounders — but those free passes really hurt. It’s the first time this season Bradish has allowed more than five runs, and his ERA crept back over 4.00 for the first time since mid-June. He’s still a reasonable bet in mixed leagues for now, but some late-season fatigue is possible in his first full year back from Tommy John.
  • BAL Starting Pitcher #38
    The 29-year-old righty punched out five batters in the contest while issuing a pair of free passes. The Yankees struck for three runs (two of them unearned) in the third inning, then Bradish served up solo homers to Luis Garcia Jr. and Spencer Jones before exiting in the sixth inning. Bradish got 10 whiffs on 100 pitches on the night, posting an uninspiring CSW of 25 percent. He’ll look to bounce back as he carries a 3.70 ERA, 1.38 WHIP and a 129/60 K/BB ratio (138 2/3 innings) into Wednesday’s matchup against the Cardinals in St. Louis.

    Padres signed OF Cal Stevenson to a minor league contract.

    The 30-year-old outfielder spent the 2026 season in the Tigers’ organization where he slashed .264/.410/.456 with nine homers, 33 RBI and seven stolen bases in 330 plate appearances at Triple-A Toledo. He’ll add extra outfield depth for the Friars.

    Angels re-signed LHP Sammy Peralta to a minor league contract with an invitation to spring training.

    Peralta made 16 appearances at the MLB level between the Angels and Rockies in 2026, posting a miserable 6.65 ERA, 1.87 WHIP and a 23/9 K/BB ratio over 23 frames. It’ll take a strong showing in Cactus League action for him to crack the Halos’ Opening Day bullpen.

    Angels and C Tyler Heineman avoided arbitration by agreeing to a one-year, $1.2375 million contract.

    The 35-year-old backstop will remain with the Angels in a backup role heading into the 2027 campaign. Heineman slashed just .175/.223/.220 with one homer and 10 RBI in 200 plate appearances between the Blue Jays and Angels in 2026.

    Anthony Santander publicly apologized Friday for since-deleted Islamophobic social media posts.

    Santander shared anti-Muslim videos following the U.S. election last week before eventually taking them down. The Blue Jays released a statement Thursday condemning all forms of hate. Most assume the Jays would like to rid themselves of Santander at this point, though he still has $49 million left on the five-year deal he signed after hitting 44 homers for the Orioles in 2024. He’s since played in just 54 games in 2025 and none in 2026 because of shoulder issues. Even if the Jays are willing to eat the contract, it makes financial sense to wait until after the lockout ends, since any missed games next season would lead to a corresponding reduction of his $16.5 million salary.

    According to Kevin Barral of Fish on First, the Marlins have expressed interest in free agent southpaw Patrick Sandoval.

    The Marlins are in the market for arms that could fill out the backend of their rotation or provide quality depth. When right, Sandoval should be able to do that, be he had very inconsistent results in his first action back from Tommy John surgery — posting a 1-7 record, 5.12 ERA, 1.68 WHIP and a 73/32 K/BB ratio across 70 1/3 innings in his 15 appearances.

    Bruce Levine of 670 The Score in Chicago reports that both the Cubs and White Sox have expressed interest in Japanese right-hander Kaima Taira.

    Both teams met with agent Scott Boras during the general manager’s meetings to discuss the 26-year-old hurler. The Padres are also known to have expressed interest in his services. With the potential lockout looming, it doesn’t sound like Nippon Professional Baseball is going to change the posting rules at all, so any player that has been posted for MLB teams will need to sign before the lockout or return to their clubs in Japan. Expect the interest to really heat up here in the coming days.

    Rangers re-signed INF Max Wagner to a minor league contract.

    Wagner got a $1.9 million bonus from the Orioles as the 42nd overall pick in the 2022 draft, but Baltimore gave up on him after he hit .218/.301/.339 in Double-A in 2025. The Rangers signed him in April, and he put up a much-improved .249/.337/.523 line with 21 homers in 85 games in Double-A at age 25 last season. If he can do that again in Triple-A next year, he might become a candidate for a major league bench gig.

    Reds re-signed OF Shane Sasaki to a minor league contract.

    Sasaki, the Rays’ third-round pick in 2019, hit .241/.340/.371 in 53 games for Double-A Chattanooga last season before missing the final 3 1/2 months with an injury. He’ll aim to win a spot on the Triple-A roster when minor league spring training starts.

    Reds re-signed LHP Ben Wereski to a minor league contract.

    Wereski, 28, had a 4.42 ERA in 12 starts between Double- and Triple-A after being plucked out of indy ball last season. He’s probably just Triple-A depth, but there’s the chance he’ll be needed to come up and make a start or two next season.

    Reds re-signed RHP Trevor Kuncl to a minor league contract.

    Kuncl will compete to retain his spot in the Triple-A Louisville pen after posting a 5.40 ERA and a 42/29 K/BB in 37 1/3 innings for the Bats last season.
