Archie Bradley Shut Down For At Least Four Weeks With Elbow Fracture

By Anthony Franco | June 28, 2022 at 6:12pm CDT

Angels reliever Archie Bradley was placed on the 15-day injured list with a fracture in his throwing elbow this evening. Trainer Mike Frostad tells reporters (including Sam Blum of the Athletic and Sarah Valenzuela of the Los Angeles Times) that he’ll be shut down from throwing entirely for at least four weeks. Frostad estimated it’ll be multiple months before he’s able to return to the majors. Bradley suffered the injury during Sunday’s brawl between the Halos and Mariners, when he slipped trying to climb over the dugout railing.

Signed to a $3.75MM guarantee over the offseason, Bradley has made 21 appearances on the year. He owns a 4.82 ERA across 18 2/3 innings, striking out just 19.2% of batters faced. It’s the second consecutive season in which he’s not missed many bats, but Bradley has continued to shoulder high-leverage innings late in games. To his credit, the right-hander has induced grounders on almost three-fifths of batted balls against him, an excellent rate that has contributed to his allowing just one home run all season.

Unfortunately, the Halos will now be without one their more trusted late-game arms for the foreseeable future. An eventual transfer to the 60-day injured list seems all but inevitable, as the 29-year-old is seemingly looking at a September return at the earliest. That obviously won’t afford him much time to demonstrate his health before he again hits the open market next winter.

The fracture also all but eliminates the possibility of the Angels moving Bradley midseason. Entering play Tuesday with a 36-40 record, the Halos could find themselves dealing away short-term players in advance of the August 2 trade deadline. Flipping Bradley wouldn’t have brought back a massive return, but there’d likely have been some interest from other clubs given his high-leverage experience and lofty ground-ball numbers.

Players on the injured list can still be traded, but it’s hard to envision another team dealing for Bradley at this point. He seems unlikely to be available for more than the final month of the regular season, at best, and his status as an impending free agent means there isn’t any long-term upside in acquiring him for a contending club.

      I would think it sucks all the time. They have a terrible owner, a bad GM, and an awful manager who thinks it’s cool to send rookie pitchers in to headhunt.

      Good thing they don’t have a bunch of bad contracts, too. Oh, wait…

        It was Seattle’s manager who sent the pitching coach to the mound and told his pitcher to headhunt. Winker got beaned in the butt.

        And you say that like the owner isn’t also the GM ha ha.

        Minasian is a great GM. He is/has rebuilt the scouting and player development departments. We now have several promising pitchers emerging including starting this evening. The Angels are well positioned going forward.

          He was an 11th round draft pick and was ranked 17 in their system this season. And their system is awful.

          He’s had 7 good starts in AA and 5 garbage starts in the Majors.

          And this is the dude Angels fans are excited about. I think that says it all.

          What are you smoking Bart? The Angels are well positioned to finish .500 year after year. They have two horrible contracts in Rendon and Trout and their farm system is a laughing stock. As great of a player as Trout is that deal is not going to age well especially considering that Mikey now loves finding his way to that IL. Why Ohtani would sign long term is beyond me, in fact I wouldn’t be shocked if when his deal is up he gets the hell out of Dodge. Do they even have a top 100 prospect in their system?

        Wait, why do the Angels have a “terrible owner” i could think of at least ten teams who would love to have moreno as an owner. The angels spend more in an off season every single off season than the A’s spend in a decade. Just because the A’s win more than the Angels, does not make their owner better

          Arte spending foolishly on free agents but not on scouting or the farm has led to the top heavy teams that haven’t sniffed October since 2014.

          He’s obviously trying to win unlike Nutting and others, but his strategy is severely flawed and he refuses to learn from it.

          You can spend all you want it’ll never make up for not knowing what you’re doing and the Angels do not know what they’re doing. Rendon over Cole was, is, and will always be stupid. You can say what you want about Cole but he’s still in the top tier of arms and he’s far and away better than what the Angels trot out there. Ohtani is good but who knows how much longer he keeps it up. All that work will take a toll on his body.

        Ohtani has the Dodgers written all over him next season. With Bauer’s money off the books and some expensive players ready to hit free agency, LA certainly has the budget to sign him. (They don’t care about the CBT threshold). The only question is what they’d do about Trea Turner. I’m not sure if the Dodgers would want to carry 4 long term contracts of $30M+ per year (Mookie, Freeman, Ohtani, Turner) not to mention key players like Buehler getting closer to a big, long term payday as well. So it might come down to an Ohtani vs. Turner decision. I wonder which direction they would go?

          I’m not a Dodger fan and I could easily see Ohtani playing there. At some point most guys want to win, not everyone is content with losing like Trout is.

      He addressed the fans when Maddon was fired…after 0-14. He doubled down on the roster as constructed being a group of guys they believe can win it in 2022.

      Truth is he should’ve made roster moves to solidify/improve the roster at SS/2B/C/OF4 and a legit top SP before firing anyone.

    Only 3 percent of professional baseball players, drafted out of college early, will finish their degree at a later point in time.

    MLB dugouts represent the equivalent of filthy caves, inhabited by PED-swollen roid rage Neanderthals with IQs below room temperature.

    Bradley’s excitement in anticipation of copping a feel while rolling around on the ground with sweaty, hairy men obviously overwrote any residual sanity left in his pea brain. Now he’ll have a lot of free time on his hands to chew on the leftovers of previous meals, picked out of his filthy beard.
