Tampa Bay Rays demote pitcher Taj Bradley to Triple-A
July 24 (UPI) -- The Tampa Bay Rays demoted pitcher Taj Bradley to Triple-A after his rocky start to 2025, manager Kevin Cash announced. Bradley is 6-6 with a 4.61 ERA. Cash announced the move after the Chicago White Sox beat the Rays 11-9 on Wednesday in Tampa, Fla. Bradley allowed four hits and four runs over 1 2/3 innings. "We've optioned Taj," Cash said. "Tough decision, certainly, but we felt like it's best for him to get down there right now. He's gotta get to work. We talked about the two-pitch mix he's been rolling out there. We think that its best. It's probably a better environment for him to work rather than compete every single pitch. "But know that Taj Bradley is massive to our success and we need to get him back to the form we know he is capable of." Bradley allowed just three hits and no runs over six innings in his previous start, an 11-1 win over the Baltimore Orioles on Friday in Tampa. He also allowed just two hits and one run over six innings in a loss to the Boston Red Sox on July 10 in Boston. Bradley allowed a combined 14 hits and eight runs over 11 innings in two prior starts, which each led to Rays losses. "I didn't take too much to heart, knowing that I [have] stuff to work on," Bradley told reporters. "I'm throwing off two pitches right now. I need that third, changeup, to get back to where it was last year. ... I just take it as it is, go down and get back to work, just keep going." Bradley, 24, went 8-11 with a 4.11 ERA over 25 starts last season. He went 5-8 with a 5.59 ERA over 23 appearances in 2023, his debut campaign. The Rays (53-50), who lost three of their last four games, sit in fourth place in the American League East, 7.5 games behind the division-leading Toronto Blue Jays (60-42). They will take on the Cincinnati Reds in a three-game series opener at 7:10 p.m. EDT Friday in Cincinnati.

U.S. Ryder Cup players will use first fall event, the Procore Championship, to help stay sharp
The Procore Championship in Napa, California, is shaping up to be training camp for the Ryder Cup for the American team to avoid getting rusty ahead of the Sept. 26-28 matches. 'I know I'll be there,' Scottie Scheffler said. Ditto for Xander Schauffele, who suggested the world's No. 1 player was a strong voice in urging whoever is on the U.S. team to be at Silverado Resort on Sept. 11-14. That was a big concern at the last Ryder Cup, held outside Rome in 2023. The PGA Tour season that year ended Aug. 27 with the Tour Championship at East Lake, and the majority of the team had a full month away from tournament golf before going to Marco Simone for the start of the Ryder Cup on Sept. 29. Justin Thomas and Max Homa were the only players in Napa, along with U.S. captain Zach Johnson. Europe had its players at the BMW PGA Championship in England. Team Europe got out to a fast start at Marco Simone and sailed to an easy victory to win back the cup. The Procore Championship is the only PGA Tour event on the schedule between the Tour Championship and the Ryder Cup at Bethpage Black in New York. It also is the same week as the BMW PGA Championship at Wentworth. Odds are against having all 12 of the Americans there — one of them is Bryson DeChambeau, who is banned from the PGA Tour because he's with LIV Golf. Ryder Cup update: Keegan Bradley confirms Bryson DeChambeau's inclusion; Chris Gotterup makes huge jump DeChambeau's T-10 finish at Portrush impressed Bradley enough for Bradley to confirm to Sports Illustrated that DeChambeau will be among the 12 players on his squad. U.S. captain Keegan Bradley told Sports Illustrated he would use one of his six picks on DeChambeau, who finished in the top 10 at three of the four majors this year. 'Bryson is going to be a very important piece to us winning the Ryder Cup,' Bradley said in a text message to SI. 'He brings so much. He brings energy, passion but most importantly, he's one of the best players on the planet.' The LIV Golf League season ends Aug. 24 with its team championship in Michigan. The only other competition for DeChambeau would be a YouTube match or European tour stops in Switzerland, Ireland, England or France.
