The Minnesota Twins placed right-hander Taj Bradley on the 15-day injured list ​Saturday with inflammation in ‌his right pectoral muscle.

The move is retroactive to Wednesday, the day after Bradley struck out ‌eight ​batters in six ⁠innings and earned ⁠the win in an 11-3 victory at Washington.

Bradley, 25, improved to 4-1 with ​a 2.87 ERA through eight starts this season. ⁠He has struck ⁠out 52 batters and ​walked 17 in 47 innings.

Bradley ​is 23-28 with a 4.64 ‌ERA in 83 career games (81 starts) with the Rays (2023-25) and Twins, who acquired ⁠him from Tampa Bay at the 2025 trade deadline for right-hander ⁠Griffin ‌Jax.

Minnesota recalled right-hander Travis ⁠Adams from Triple-A ​St. ‌Paul to replace Bradley ​on the ⁠26-man roster.

Adams, 26, is 3-0 with a 9.00 ERA in five relief appearances this season at St. Paul.
