Scouting Report: Tucker Bradley
Chicago Cubs | LF
Overall
Summary
Taj Bradley, Minnesota Twins right-handed starter, was placed on the 15-day injured list on May 6, 2026 (retroactive) due to right pectoral inflammation. MRI revealed inflammation and tightness but no muscle strains or tears. As of May 13, Bradley is playing catch again and trending toward a bullpen session by end of week. Bradley has been the Twins' best starter in 2026 with a 4-1 record, 2.87 ERA, 26.1% strikeout rate, and 8.5% walk rate across 8 starts and 47 innings. His 3.71 SIERA suggests he's been fortunate with hard contact allowed. This is a positive turnaround from a disappointing 2025 season after being acquired from Tampa Bay.
