MLB Trade Rumors • • sports
Key Points:
- The Texas Rangers have reinstated left-hander Cody Bradford from the 60-day injured list after he missed the entire season recovering from an internal brace procedure on his left elbow.
- Bradford's UCL repair surgery, performed in late June last year, sidelined him for over 13 months, but he is now ready to return to pitching.
- The team created an active roster spot by placing MacKenzie Gore on the paternity list, allowing Bradford to rejoin the roster.
- Bradford, 28, showed promise last season with a 3.54 ERA over 76 1/3 innings, striking out 22.7% of batters while maintaining a low 4.2% walk rate.
- He is expected to start initially, having gradually increased his workload during rehab outings without allowing any runs or walks and striking out 15 batters over nine innings.
