Although initial X-rays showed no fractures, Bradish is still experiencing discomfort and will undergo further evaluation to determine the extent of the injury.

Orioles manager Brandon Hyde had already suggested that Bradish might need to spend some time on the injured list, and it has now been confirmed that he will be sidelined for at least a couple of weeks.
