Taj Bradley is part of Tampa Bay's starting pitching depth, which remains strong despite recent trades. His potential as a viable option will be crucial, especially with the uncertainty surrounding the health of other pitchers like Drew Rasmussen and Shane McClanahan.

Taj Bradley, 23, made 25 starts for the Rays in 2024, finishing with an 8-11 record and a 4.11 ERA.

This season, he generated a 33.0 percent whiff rate with the pitch, leading to a .213 opponents' batting average and accounting for 69 strikeouts. His growth has solidified his role in the Tampa Bay rotation.

Taj Bradley earned the win by pitching six scoreless innings, allowing only three hits and a walk while striking out seven batters. His strong performance was crucial in leading the Rays to victory over the Red Sox.
