Taj Bradley's Stats, Metrics, Game Logs, Projections & Rankings

Tampa Bay Rays starting pitcher Taj Bradley continued his recent struggles in Monday's 6-1 loss to the Astros. Bradley pitched 4 1/3 innings, allowing six runs on eight hits (including two home runs) and two walks with six strikeouts. He also hit a batter. The 23-year-old is now 6-7 on the season with a 3.49 ERA, a 10.57 K/9 rate, and a 3.12 BB/9 rate in 17 starts and 95 1/3 IP. While his season numbers are solid, he has struggled in his last three starts, allowing 15 earned runs in just 14 IP. Things won't get easier for him in his next start, which will be against a surging Diamondbacks lineup. Fantasy managers may consider sitting him if they can afford to.

Tampa Bay Rays starter Taj Bradley continued his recent run of dominance Thursday, firing six shutout innings and earning his sixth win over the Toronto Blue Jays. Bradley struck out seven hitters en route to another strong performance. Bradley is now 6-4 with a 2.43 ERA, 1.01 WHIP, and 97 strikeouts in 81 innings. Bradley has been a bright spot in a mediocre year for the Rays, becoming their de facto ace in the process. Bradley gets the Miami Marlins in a home game next Tuesday.

Tampa Bay Rays starter Taj Bradley stifled the New York Yankees lineup on Saturday with seven innings of one-hit ball. Bradley struck out five and walked two, nabbing his fifth win of the season on the road. The 23-year-old right-hander has been impeccable in three July starts, going (2-0) with a 0.45 ERA, allowing only one earned run and striking out 18 in 20 innings. Bradley has been one of the top prospects in the Rays system for a long time, and it looks like he's putting it all together. He next lines up to take the mound in Toronto against the last-place Blue Jays and should be started in all fantasy formats.
