Taj Bradley was optioned to Triple-A Durham after a disappointing performance against the Chicago White Sox. Despite a 4-0 lead, he failed to navigate the second inning, allowing four hits and three walks. His current season record is 6-6 with a 4.61 ERA, raising concerns about his command and mental approach. Rays manager Kevin Cash described the move as a necessary reset for Bradley. In the minors, he will focus on improving his secondary pitches while the team adjusts its rotation with other pitchers.
The Tampa Bay Rays optioned right-hander Taj Bradley to Triple-A Durham following his poor start in Wednesday night's 11-9 loss to the Chicago White Sox.
Once a top pitching prospect, the 24-year-old Bradley was handed a 4-0 lead after the first inning against the last-place White Sox but he couldn't get through the second.
Rays manager Kevin Cash stated, "Tough decision, certainly, but felt like it's best for him to get down there right now... We know that Taj Bradley is massive to our success."
Through 21 starts this season, Bradley is 6-6 with a 4.61 ERA, raising concerns about his command and mental approach.
