ARCHIE BRADLEY NEWS

Tosses bullpen session Bradley (abdomen) tossed a bullpen session Monday and is slated for another Wednesday, Jeff Fletcher of The Orange County Register reports.

Impact Bradley presumably came out of his initial bullpen session fine since he's scheduled for another two days later. The right-hander last pitched in a game April 29 and was initially expected to miss 4-to-6 weeks, and it looks like he could be able to return during the early portion of that window. Bradley should return to a prominent role in the Angels' bullpen when he's activated.

Nearly ready to throw Bradley (abdomen) will resume throwing next week, Sam Blum of The Athletic reports.

Impact Bradley has been out for a week with a left abdominal strain. He was initially given a timeline of 4-to-6 weeks, but he's making good progress and could potentially beat that window.

Placed on 10-day IL Bradley was placed on the 10-day injured list with a left abdominal strain Saturday, Jeff Fletcher of The Orange County Register reports.

Impact The right-hander struck out two in three innings while earning a save and two holds over his last three outings, but he'll now be sidelined for at least a week and a half due to his abdominal injury. Aaron Loup and Mike Mayers are candidates for increased setup duties in Bradley's absence.

Earns save Bradley picked up the save, striking out one in a perfect ninth inning of a 7-6 win Sunday over Baltimore.

Impact Bradley needed only six pitches to complete the frame and earn his first save of the season. The 29-year-old was called upon rather than closer Raisel Iglesias and got the job done. The righty lowered his season ERA to 9.45, recording his first save for Los Angeles. The closer role is firmly Iglesias' and this was nothing more than an isolated opportunity to close for Bradley as Iglesias received a day of rest.

Knocked around Friday Bradley gave up three runs on four hits while retiring only one batter against Baltimore on Friday.

Impact The veteran reliever entered in the sixth inning with the Angels down by two runs, but that deficit ballooned to five by the time the frame was over. Bradley allowed four straight singles before recording his first (and only) out, and three of those hitters eventually came around to score. The right-hander's first campaign with Los Angeles if off to a rough start, as he has posted a 11.12 ERA and 1.76 WHIP across 5.2 innings thus far.

Angels add Archie Bradley to bolster long-struggling bullpen

Right-hander Archie Bradley has agreed to a $3.75 million, one-year deal to bolster the Los Angeles Angels’ bullpen

MARCH 18, 2022 • ASSOCIATED PRESS

Signs one-year deal with Angels Bradley (oblique) signed a one-year, $3.75 million contract with the Angels on Thursday, Ken Rosenthal of The Athletic reports.

Impact Bradley has 30 career saves, including two last season, but Raisel Iglesias has a firm grip on the closer role in Anaheim. Bradley's experience in the role should make him one of the top alternatives should Iglesias struggle or get injured, though his statline last year had some discouraging signs despite a respectable 3.71 ERA. Most notably, his 17.9 percent strikeout rate was nowhere near closer material and game in far below the 26.5 percent mark he managed over the previous four seasons. He ended the year on the injured list with an oblique issue, a problem he also battled early in the season.
