Minnesota Twins Pitcher Taj Bradley Sidelined with Pectoral Injury

Minnesota Twins right-handed pitcher Taj Bradley was added to the 15-day injured list Saturday due to inflammation affecting his right pectoral muscle.

The roster move was made retroactive to Wednesday, which came one day after Bradley delivered a strong performance against Washington, striking out eight hitters across six innings in an 11-3 Twins victory.

The 25-year-old pitcher has posted a 4-1 record with a 2.87 ERA across eight starts this season. In 47 innings of work, he has recorded 52 strikeouts while issuing 17 walks.

Throughout his major league career, Bradley holds a 23-28 record with a 4.64 ERA over 83 games, including 81 starts. He previously played for Tampa Bay from 2023-25 before Minnesota acquired him in a trade deadline deal that sent right-hander Griffin Jax to the Rays.

To fill Bradley’s spot on the 26-man roster, the Twins brought up right-hander Travis Adams from their Triple-A affiliate in St. Paul.

Adams, 26, has appeared in five relief outings this season for St. Paul, compiling a 3-0 record with a 9.00 ERA.
