Scouting Report: Tanner Tully

Summary

Taj Bradley, the Minnesota Twins' best starter in 2026, was placed on the 15-day injured list on May 10 with right pectoral muscle inflammation. The injury was retroactive to May 6, the day after his last start against Washington where he pitched 6 innings, allowing 4 hits, 2 walks, 2 earned runs with 8 strikeouts on 96 pitches. An MRI revealed no significant damage. Bradley had posted a 4-1 record with a 2.87 ERA across 8 starts and 47 innings, leading the team with 52 strikeouts. He was acquired from Tampa Bay in July 2025 and has been the anchor of the Twins' rotation in 2026. The Twins are dealing with significant rotation depth issues, with Pablo López out for the season (Tommy John surgery), Mick Abel battling right elbow inflammation, and David Festa shut down due to right shoulder impingement.
