Today, MLBTR readers are following three things throughout the day:
1. Returned Bradish:
Oriole right-handed Kyle Bradish Today, Baltimore activates him from the 60-day injury list and will begin his first Major League Baseball in more than a year. The club will need to take action accordingly to create space for Bradish in a 40-man squad before tonight’s game Lucas Giolito (3.72 ERA at the start of 20) and the Red Sox. Bradish didn’t impress him in this year’s minor league, but he looked electric in eight games last year, when he released a 2.75 ERA (2.50 FIP) and a 32.5% strikeout rate before requiring Tommy John’s surgery. If he can log in to anything near those numbers this year, it will be a long way to go to stabilize the Oriole’s rotation ahead of the 2026 campaign.
2. Kokucci made 1,000 strikeouts:
Angel South Claw Yusei Kikuchi In his first year at Anaheim, the two-time All-Star season was stable. At the start of 27 times, he reached 3.42 ERA with a strikeout rate of 23.6% in 150 innings. He will start the 28th day against Rangers and veteran lefty today Patrick Corbin. It is worth noting that Kikuchi has only 10 3-point shooting percentages, and is only the fourth-born pitcher to reach 1,000 career strikeouts in MLB Yu Darvish,,,,, hideo nomoand Kenta Maeda. While playing ten batsmen in the game is a difficult task, it is not impossible. Kikuchi has two or ten games this year, with a total of nine games in his Major League Baseball career. Meanwhile, the Rangers hit the 10th highest three-point shooting percentage against South Claws (23.6%).
3. Today’s MLBTR chat:
The trade deadline is in the rearview mirror and the extension officially begins. It’s too early to have close games in the playoffs, to the offseason, and what free agents and the winter trade markets might bring. MLBTR’s Steve Adams will hold a live chat on CT this day at 12:45 pm to discuss it all. You can click here to ask a question, once the chat starts, you can stream live after the chat is finished, or read the transcript after the chat is finished.
