Bradish reinstated from injured list to start today

Kyle Bradish is ready to make his 2024 debut.

The Oriole reinstated Bradish from the 15-day injured list this morning and he’s starting against the Yankees in the series finale at Camden Yards. Bradish was diagnosed with a sprained ulnar collateral ligament in his right elbow in January, received a platelet-rich plasma injection and worked his way back into the rotation.

Bradish’s injury rehab assignment could have run until mid-May, but the Orioles deemed him ready after one start with Double-A Bowie and two with Triple-A Norfolk.

Yohan Ramírez was designated for assignment after retiring the side in order last night in the ninth inning. He had a 6.00 ERA and 0.833 WHIP in five outings.

The 40-man roster is down to 39 players.

Bradish has made four career starts against the Yankees and posted a 3.54 ERA and 1.672 WHIP in 20 1/3 innings.

Gleyber Torres is 4-for-7 with two walks.

The Orioles are percentage points ahead of the Yankees for first place.

Left-hander Carlos Rodón has a 2.48 ERA 1.194 WHIP in six starts, and he’s surrendered only three home runs. He’s allowed one run and three hits in his last two starts covering 13 innings.

Rodón is 0-2 with a 4.37 ERA and 1.368 WHIP in five career games (four starts) versus the Orioles. He’s allowed 11 earned runs and 15 total in 22 2/3 innings.

James McCann is 2-for-13 with a home run lifetime against Rodón.

Right-handers are batting .192 against Rodón this season, compared to .274 in 2023.

I’ll add the lineups later.
