Taj Bradley Heading For MRI After Feeling Pectoral Tightness
9 months agoTampa Bay Rays right-hander Taj Bradley (pectoral) is dealing with pectoral tightness in camp and has been sent for an MRI exam. Bradley was scratched from the team's Grapefruit League game on Tuesday because he was feeling right-pectoral tightness. We should know more on the 22-year-old's injury by Wednesday. Even if it's not a serious injury, Bradley's availability for the start of the 2024 regular season could be compromised with Opening Day in just several weeks. In his lone spring appearance to this point, Bradley has thrown three scoreless innings. RotoBaller has Bradley ranked as the No. 65 starting pitcher 5-8 in his rookie season last year with a 5.59 ERA and 1.38 WHIP with 39 walks and 129 K's in 104 2/3 frames. The young pitcher will need to show better command and learn to limit the long ball, but his whiff potential makes him worth a deep-league stash to open the year.
