Kyle Bradish was placed on the 15-day IL on September 13 with lower abdominal discomfort, and a sports hernia diagnosis was confirmed on September 16. Manager Craig Albernaz said Bradish is weighing surgery while evaluating all options. Bradish posted a 4.12 ERA over 155 innings in his first full season back from Tommy John surgery, but struggled down the stretch with a 6.95 ERA over his final five starts. The Orioles, sitting at 72-77 and three games back of the final AL wild card spot, will likely turn to Cade Povich or bullpen games to fill the rotation vacancy.
