Rangers' Cody Bradford: Blanks Giants in return to rotation
Bradford didn't factor into the decision in Wednesday's 6-0 win over the Giants, allowing five hits and two walks over 4.1 scoreless innings. He struck out five.
After missing the entire 2025 season while recovering from an elbow injury that required an internal brace procedure that June, Bradford was brought along slowly after some renewed soreness in April and finally began ramping back up in July before being activated from the IL on Wednesday. He looked sharp in his season debut, albeit against a vulnerable opponent, and tossed 50 of 70 pitches for strikes before being lifted. The Rangers will also get Jordan Montgomery (elbow) back later this month, and Jack Leiter (ankle) could return in September, but Bradford made a strong early case to stick in the rotation. He'll look to get stretched out enough to pick up his first MLB win since Sept. 18, 2024 in his next outing, which is set to come on the road early next week against the Angels.

Rangers' Cody Bradford: Activated for 2026 debut
The Rangers reinstated Bradford (elbow) from the 60-day injured list ahead of his scheduled start Wednesday versus the Giants in Arlington.
Texas placed MacKenzie Gore (personal) on the paternity list to clear a spot on the active roster for Bradford, who is slated to make his first appearance for the Rangers since Sept. 25, 2024 after a long recovery from his June 2025 internal brace surgery. The southpaw built up to four innings and 56 pitches over the course of four minor-league rehab starts, so he'll likely have a workload restriction in place in his first outing with the big club in nearly two years. Bradford had pitched effectively for the Rangers prior to undergoing elbow surgery, turning in a 3.54 ERA, 1.01 WHIP and 70:13 K:BB over 76.1 innings in 2024.

Rangers' Cody Bradford: Entering rotation Wednesday
Rangers manager Skip Schumaker said that Bradford (elbow) will return from the 60-day injured list to start Wednesday's game against the Giants, Kennedi Landry of MLB.com reports.
Bradford missed the entire 2025 campaign due to an elbow injury that eventually required Tommy John surgery, and a setback in his rehab program in early April extended his absence into the second half of this season. The 28-year-old southpaw is finally ready to make his first appearance for the Rangers since Sept. 25, 2024, after he closed the books on a successful four-start rehab assignment. In his final outing with Triple-A Round Rock last Thursday, Bradford built up to four innings and 56 pitches, so the Rangers will likely put a cap on his workload Wednesday.

Rangers' Cody Bradford: Sharp in latest rehab start
Bradford (elbow) struck out seven and allowed four hits and no walks over four scoreless innings in a rehab start Thursday for Triple-A Round Rock.
Making the fourth start of his rehab assignment, Bradford spotted 40 of his 56 pitches for strikes and induced 15 swings and misses. The left-hander -- who is working his way back from a June 2025 internal brace surgery -- has permitted just one run between stops with Round Rock and Double-A Frisco while posting a stellar 16:2 K:BB in 10 innings. While Jordan Montgomery (elbow) appears likely to beat him back from the 60-day injured list to take over a spot in the Texas rotation, Bradford could end up claiming a starting role once he's cleared to return. The 28-year-old will likely need just one or two more rehab starts before coming off the shelf.

Rangers' Cody Bradford: Hits three innings in rehab start
Bradford (elbow) struck out four and allowed three hits and no walks across three innings in a rehab start Friday with Double-A Frisco.
Since resuming his rehab assignment July 12, Bradford has now tacked on an inning to his workload in his subsequent two starts. Overall, the southpaw has yielded one earned run on four hits and two walks while striking out nine across six innings. He built up to 48 pitches (39 strikes) in Friday's outing, so Bradford will likely need to push his pitch count up to the 70-to-80 range over the course of two more rehab starts before coming back from the 60-day injured list and slotting into the Texas rotation. Bradford has been on the shelf all season while recovering from the internal brace surgery he underwent last June and a setback that cropped up during his initial rehab assignment back in April.

Rangers' Cody Bradford: Better in second rehab outing
Bradford (elbow) allowed one hit and struck out four over two scoreless innings for Double-A Frisco on Saturday.
Bradford was sharper in his second rehab start for the RoughRiders, upping his pitch count to 37 (27 strikes). The left-hander still has time left on his 30-day rehab assignment to make at least three more starts and build up to five or six innings.

Rangers' Cody Bradford: Making rehab start Saturday
Bradford (elbow) will continue his rehab assignment and start Saturday for Double-A Frisco, Kennedi Landry of MLB.com reports.
Bradford will make his second start for Frisco after resuming his rehab assignment Tuesday. The left-hander threw just 21 pitches in one inning of work in his previous start, giving up one run on no hits and two walks. It is expected that Bradford will up his pitch count on Saturday as Texas wants to continue to stretch out the 28-year-old in order to get him back in the big-league rotation once his 30-day rehab window ends.

Rangers' Cody Bradford: Inefficient in rehab start
Bradford (elbow) struck out a batter and allowed one run on no hits and two walks in a one-inning rehab start with Double-A Frisco on Sunday.
Bradford made his first appearance since April 2, as he was previously pulled off a rehab assignment with Triple-A Round Rock after one start when he experienced a setback in his recovery from his June 2025 internal brace procedure. The southpaw needed 21 pitches to record his three outs and threw just seven strikes, with the lack of control not especially surprising coming off a lengthy layoff from game action. The Rangers are expected to allow Bradford to get stretched out for a starting role during his rehab assignment, but he'll need to improve his efficiency as he builds up his innings volume in his subsequent minor-league outings in order to stake a claim to a spot in the big-league rotation once his 30-day rehab window comes to a close.

Rangers' Cody Bradford: Resuming rehab assignment
Bradford (elbow) will resume his rehab assignment at Double-A Corpus Christi on Sunday, Jeff Wilson of AllDLLS.com reports.
Coming back from an internal brace procedure, Bradford threw two innings in one rehab outing back in early April but had to be pulled off that assignment after a setback. The left-hander is ready to give it another try and is slated to pitch one inning for Corpus Christi this weekend. Assuming the Rangers still intend to bring Bradford back as a starting pitcher, he will need several weeks to rebuild his stamina.

Rangers' Cody Bradford: Setback in throwing program
Bradford (elbow) experienced a setback in his throwing program and will be shut down for at least a few days, MLB.com reports.

Rangers' Cody Bradford: Nearing return to throwing
Bradford (elbow) hasn't thrown for two weeks due to tightness in his elbow, but the Rangers believe he will soon resume a throwing program, Jeff Wilson of AllDLLS.com reports.
Bradford underwent an internal brace procedure on his left elbow last June and made a rehab start earlier this month. However, the left-hander experienced a setback with the elbow, and Texas shut him down for at least a couple weeks. Bradford is on the 60-day injured list and won't return anytime before late May.

Rangers' Cody Bradford: Moved to 60-day IL
The Rangers transferred Bradford (elbow) to the 60-day injured list Wednesday.
Bradford has been working his way back from an internal brace procedure and made his first rehab start April 3, but his second outing has since been delayed, and his move to the 60-day IL suggests he isn't close to returning. He'll remain sidelined until at least late May, and he'll give up his place on the 40-man roster to help make room for the promotions of Cal Quantrill and Gavin Collyer.

Rangers' Cody Bradford: Next rehab outing delayed
Bradford (elbow) was scheduled to pitch for Double-A Frisco on Wednesday, but the Rangers opted to give him additional recovery time, Shawn McFarland of the Dallas Morning News reports.
Bradford made an initial rehab start April 2, but the left-hander apparently hadn't recovered quick enough by Wednesday. "We'll make sure he feels 100% recovered before he makes his next outing," Rangers president of baseball operations Chris Young said. "It's just normal soreness. It's part of your buildup, it's part of rehab." The organization does not want him to push through the soreness. Bradford is in the final stages of his recovery from an internal brace procedure.

Rangers' Cody Bradford: Starting rehab assignment
Bradford (elbow) will begin a rehab assignment with Triple-A Round Rock on Thursday.
It will be Bradford's first official game action since he underwent an internal brace procedure on his left elbow last June. The left-hander will need most, if not all, of the allotted 30 days on his rehab assignment, but if all goes well he could be ready to pitch for the Rangers around the start of May. Whether the Rangers use Bradford as a starter or reliever upon his activation could depend on what the team's needs are at the time.
