Overall
Summary
Taj Bradley, right-handed pitcher for the Minnesota Twins, was placed on the 15-day injured list on May 6 due to right pectoral muscle inflammation. Bradley had been the Twins' top starter in 2026, posting a 2.87 ERA with a 26.1% strikeout rate and 8.5% walk rate across eight starts and 47 innings. Recent MRI revealed inflammation and tightness but no muscle strains or tears. As of May 13, Bradley was playing catch and trending toward a bullpen session by week's end, suggesting a relatively positive recovery trajectory. The injury surfaced during between-starts throwing sessions despite appearing healthy after his last outing on Tuesday against Washington.
