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.
