Overview

  • The decision for surgery follows an elbow flare-up when Bradford resumed throwing after recovering from a flu bug.
  • Team physician Dr. Keith Meister is set to perform the procedure on June 25 in Arlington.
  • Rangers officials said it is not yet known whether Bradford will require Tommy John surgery or a shorter-term internal brace, with his recovery timeline to be determined post-operation.
  • Bradford was shut down in spring training with elbow soreness after being projected as a key rotation piece following his standout rookie postseason in 2023.
  • The Rangers now have four starters on their injured list even as their rotation group leads the American League with a 3.27 ERA.
