Taj Bradley will be the starting pitcher for the Tampa Bay Rays in Tuesday's game against the Cincinnati Reds, Marc Topkin of the Tampa Bay Times reports.
Bradley is back in the majors after a quick stint back down in the minors, this time filling the roster spot of breakout pitcher Jeffrey Springs (elbow), who landed on the injured list earlier this week. Bradley was impressive in his majors debut, hurling 8 strikeouts in 5 innings. He could stick around in the rotation with another strong showing against the Reds on Tuesday.
Our models have Bradley throwing 4.5 strikeouts over 4.6 innings in his second professional start, allowing 1.7 earned runs in the process. We have him projected for 25.7 fantasy points against the Reds, and he'll carry a $9,000 salary on FanDuel for Tuesday's contests.
