Bradford Returns to Rangers, Bolstering Rotation Depth

Texas Rangers activated left-hander Cody Bradford from the 60-day injured list after his elbow UCL/internal brace rehab, adding a healthy arm to a rotation hit by injuries. Bradford, 28, posted a 3.54 ERA over 76 1/3 innings in 2024–25 and gradually built up his workload in rehab; he’s expected to start upon return, with Cal Quantrill shifting back to a swing role as the club continues to deploy a deep, flexible rotation alongside deGrom, Eovaldi and Rocker (and Leiter’s status).
