Summary
Taj Bradley, Minnesota Twins right-handed starting pitcher, was placed on the 15-day injured list on May 10, 2026 (retroactive to May 6) with right pectoral inflammation. An MRI revealed no significant damage, only inflammation and tightness. As of May 13, Bradley is progressing well in his recovery, having resumed playing catch and trending toward a bullpen session by the end of the week.
