Overview

• The Orioles reinstated right-hander Kyle Bradish from the 60-day injured list to start Tuesday night against the Red Sox, his first MLB outing since June 14, 2024 following elbow reconstruction.
• Bradish completed six rehab starts across three affiliates, throwing roughly 22 innings with a 4.91 ERA and building up to 89 pitches, and he is expected to work under workload limits.
• With Baltimore 60-70 and last in the AL East, the club views Bradish’s starts as a chance to build confidence, log innings and inform 2026 rotation planning.
• Baltimore’s 40-man roster is full, and the team could create space by transferring Brandon Young to the 60-day IL or designating a recent waiver claim, depending on health evaluations.
• Tyler Wells is slated for a sixth and final rehab start Wednesday before an expected early-September return, and Jorge Mateo is also viewed as a likely activation when rosters expand on Sept. 1.
