Kyle Bradish took the Orioles to arbitration and won.
The right-hander will receive a $3.55 million salary in 2026 after winning his arbitration hearing, two sources with direct knowledge of the decision confirmed to The Baltimore Sun.
Bradish, 29, earned a raise from $2.35 million in 2025, his first year of arbitration. He missed the entire first half of season recovering from Tommy John elbow surgery before returning in late August, posting a 2.53 ERA in six starts down the stretch.
In the mix to be their opening day starter this year, Bradish placed fourth in American League Cy Young Award voting in 2023 but has been limited to just 71 1/3 innings since because of elbow injuries.
The Associated Press was first to report Bradish won his arbitration hearing.
