Taj Bradley is a fantasy baseball waiver wire pickup for Week 13 (2024). Target Bradley as a starting pitcher free agent waiver wire add for fantasy baseball.
BALLER MOVE: Add in All Formats
ROSTERED IN: 41% of Leagues
ANALYSIS: It makes very little sense why Tampa Bay Rays starting pitcher Taj Bradley is still available in 59% of Yahoo leagues. Outside of a rough start against the Baltimore Orioles on June 1 -- in which he gave up nine earned runs across 3 1/3 innings -- Bradley has been a consistent fantasy option this year.
The right-hander is also coming off his best start of the season. He gave up zero earned runs (two runs) with a career-high 11 strikeouts across seven strong innings against the Chicago Cubs on June 13. That outing marked the fifth time this year that Bradley has allowed two runs or less, and he has now given up just one earned run with 18 strikeouts over his last two starts.
Career start for #Rays Taj Bradley:
7IP
11K (tying a career high)
0ER (2 runs allowed)
3HBradley tied a #MLB high of 8 off-speed Strike outs in 1 game by any pitcher this season
45% swing & miss rate on his Splitter.

With the way he has pitched this season, Bradley needs to be rostered in every fantasy format moving forward. He is also lined up to face the Minnesota Twins (Week 13), Seattle Mariners (Week 14), and Washington Nationals (Week 14) over his next three starts. Those great matchups should be even more reason to pick up the 23-year-old in fantasy.

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12-team leagues CALL-UP ETA: June ANALYSIS: The Nationals went viral on social media this week for making a fun call-up. They called up their bat dog from Triple-A.

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12-team leagues CALL-UP ETA: June ANALYSIS: Samuel Basallo might be the best hitter in the minors right now, and he has catcher eligibility.

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12-team leagues CALL-UP ETA: June ANALYSIS: Painter's last two starts don't give a ton of confidence that he is ready to be in the majors. It may not even be before the All-Star break before we see him, but that does not mean we are in stash territory. The good news is, […]
