Cody Bradford Could Face Hitters This Week
Cody Bradford (elbow) incorporated breaking pitches into his bullpen session back on May 31 and is hoping to face live hitters at some point this week, according to The Dallas Morning News' Shawn McFarland. Bradford has been on the shelf all year to this point due to a sprained left elbow, but once he resumes facing live hitters, he could be several weeks from potentially being activated from the injured list. Most likely, we won't see him back in the big leagues until after the All-Star break in mid-July. Once the 27-year-old southpaw is healthy, he'll be an option for pitching-hungry fantasy managers in deep-mixed and AL-only leagues, although it's unclear if he'll join Texas' starting rotation. In his second year in the big leagues in 2024, Bradford had a 3.54 ERA and 1.01 WHIP with 70 K's and 13 walks in 76 1/3 innings over 14 outings (13 starts).
