Scouting Report: Riley Tirotta
Toronto Blue Jays | 3B
Overall
Summary
Taj Bradley, a young starting pitcher for the Minnesota Twins, was placed on the 15-day IL retroactive to May 6 with right pectoralis muscle inflammation. This comes after a solid start against Washington where he pitched six innings with 8 strikeouts. The injury is part of a larger pattern of setbacks affecting the Twins' rotation, with fellow starters Mick Abel (right elbow inflammation), David Festa (right shoulder impingement), and Pablo López (out for season after Tommy John surgery) all sidelined. The Twins' starting depth is being severely tested early in the 2026 season.
Strengths
- Strong recent performance (6 IP, 8 K, 2 ER vs Washington)
- Young pitcher with upside
