Minnesota Twins right-handed pitcher Taj Bradley has been placed on the 15-day injured list due to right pectoral inflammation, effective retroactively to Wednesday. The announcement was made on Saturday. Bradley, a key component of the Twins' pitching staff, is now sidelined as the team manages his recovery.

The specific nature or severity of the inflammation was not detailed beyond the initial diagnosis. This move forces the Twins to adjust their rotation or bullpen plans as they head into the next stretch of the season. The team has not yet announced a corresponding roster move to fill the vacancy created by Bradley's placement on the IL.

Bradley’s status will be re-evaluated as the 15-day period progresses, though the timeline for his return remains uncertain pending further medical assessment.
