Impact The specifics of the situation remain unclear, but the right-hander is apparently dealing with an injury after surrendering one run while recording one out Saturday against Atlanta. Bradley could return April 21 if he only misses the 10-day minimum, though it's unclear how long he's expected to be sidelined.

Beginning year as setup man Phillies manager Joe Girardi said Wednesday that Bradley would begin the season as a setup man behind closer Hector Neris, Todd Zolecki of MLB.com reports.
Impact Bradley and fellow offseason pickup Jose Alvarado had both received consideration for the closer gig in spring training, but Girardi opted to go with a more familiar option for the job in Neris, who has saved 72 games for the Phillies across the past five seasons. Neris was awarded the gig after a spectacular showing in spring training, but he'll still enter the season with little security in the role due to his past issues with limiting walks and keeping the ball in the yard, which have resulted in him coughing up the job on multiple occasions over the last few years. Bradley -- who has saved 24 games between the past two seasons -- thus represents one of the more intriguing closers in waiting, though he may be tough to hold in shallower formats now that Neris has the job, at least for the time being.

Scoreless start to camp Bradley has opened Grapefruit League action with three straight scoreless innings, striking out two while walking one and giving up three hits.
Impact Bradley joined the Phillies on a $6 million deal in January and appears to be firmly in the closer conversation, with Hector Neris looking like his main rival. Neris has strikeout upside that Bradley can't touch, as he's topped out at a 37.4 percent strikeout rate, a full 10 ticks above Bradley's career high of 27.4 percent, but Bradley has generally been better at keeping runs off the board nonetheless. He owns a 2.95 ERA since converting to a relief role in 2017, while Neris owns a 3.61 mark over that stretch and has finished above 4.50 in two of the last three years.

Bradley joins Phillies, urges new team to keep Realmuto
Reliever Archie Bradley and the Philadelphia Phillies have finalized their $6 million, one-year contractJANUARY 18, 2021 • ASSOCIATED PRESS
Non-tendered by Reds Bradley was non-tendered by the Reds on Wednesday.
Impact A former closer, Bradley posted a 2.95 ERA, 1.09 WHIP and 18 strikeouts in 18.1 innings with the Diamondbacks and the Reds last season. This would have been his final year of arbitration, so he would have been given a sizable contract that may not have been in line with his role with Cincinnati in 2021. He is now one of the top free agent relievers on the market.

Impact Bradley didn't pitch in any of the Reds' final six regular-season contests due to lower-back tightness, but his inclusion on the team's 28-man postseason roster and his subsequent appearance against Atlanta indicate he'll head into the offseason healthy. The 28-year-old's half-season in Cincinnati ended on a sour note, but he's still expected to play a key role in the late innings for the club in 2021, assuming the Reds elect to tender him heading into his final year of salary arbitration.

Tending to lower-back tightness Bradley last pitched on Sept. 20 and missed some time with lower-back tightness, Mark Sheldon of MLB.com reports.
Impact Bradley was available to pitch over the last two days of the season, but was held out after the Reds clinched a playoff spot Friday night. "It was good knowing that he could have pitched, but he didn't," manager David Bell said. "It worked out even better just to give him those days. He's going to be good to go."
