Cody Bradford’s return gives the Texas Rangers a welcome addition to a starting rotation that has lacked depth throughout the season. His availability arrives as the club continues to wait for further pitching reinforcements.
Texas has anticipated help arriving since the offseason, when only one starting pitcher was sidelined. That expectation continued into spring, including the team’s efforts to address its rotation needs before the season progressed.
The pending returns of Jordan Montgomery and Jack Leiter could provide another significant lift. Together with Bradford, they would give the Rangers more options and stability in the starting rotation as the season continues.
