2024 Fantasy Outlook
A sixth-round pick in 2019, Bradford made his big-league debut last May at the age of 25. He rode the shuttle in the months that followed before settling in with the Rangers down the stretch. The left-hander was added to the roster in the postseason and ended up making a handful of playoff appearances, including a couple scoreless appearances in the World Series. While Bradford struggled occasionally with the long ball, he turned in a respectable 16.7 K-BB% with Texas during the regular season. He does not bring great velocity, though the heat plays up thanks to his extension, and he can pull the string on the changeup at 82.1 mph. Bradford also mixes in a slider as his main breaking pitch. The presumptive favorite for the fifth starter spot entering spring training, Bradford will have to perform in the Cactus League to secure the role. He will face stiff competition in the rotation if/when the Rangers get healthy later this summer. Read Past Outlooks
Hit hard in Wednesday's loss
Bradford (5-3) took the loss Wednesday, coughing up eight runs on nine hits -- including three home runs -- over 3.2 innings as the Rangers were routed 14-4 by the Diamondbacks. He struck out four without walking a batter.
ANALYSIS
The southpaw gave up six extra-base hits in total, including long balls by Randal Grichuk, Eugenio Suarez and Ketel Marte. It's the first time Bradford has served up multiple homers in an outing since Aug. 3, while it's the first time he's been tagged for more than three runs since July 30. He'll look to bounce back in his next start, which lines up to come at home next week against the Blue Jays.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
Starting chance coming?
Bradford could be a rotation option for the Rangers during the final weeks of the season after Max Scherzer was ruled out for the season Wednesday with a shoulder strain, according to Evan Grant of The Dallas Morning News.
ANALYSIS
Bradford has worked as a swingman in his first taste of the majors this season with six starts in 16 appearances, and he's been solid overall with a 4.03 ERA, 1.14 WHIP and 40:11 K:BB across 44.2 innings. The 25-year-old would provide a younger alternative to the rotation than veteran lefties Andrew Heaney and Martin Perez, who have each had their share of struggles in 2023.
