Arizona Diamondbacks relief pitcher Archie Bradley went one inning, giving up two hits, including a two-run home run to Mark Reynolds in the 6-4 loss to the Washington Nationals. Bradley so far this year in 21 games has only given up runs in three of those appearances so far, and unfortunately, this was one of them. Opponents are only batting .182 off of him and still has a 2.05 ERA in 22 innings pitched, so his fantasy relevance still remains. He should be owned in all holds leagues along with deeper non-holds formats.

Arizona Diamondbacks relief pitcher Archie Bradley is using the spring to improve his changeup, according to Steve Gilbert of MLB.com. Bradley allowed four runs in 1 1/3 innings against the Giants on Tuesday. He only allowed two hits, but both were against the changeup. Bradley is hoping to reintroduce the changeup into his repertoire, envisioning it will elevate his game and secure him the closer role. The outing is not one to be concerned about. Actually, it is one to appreciate that Bradley is actually working on his game instead of worrying about the outcome of spring games.

Arizona Diamondbacks relief pitcher Archie Bradley has already demonstrated the velocity that he hopes to maintain throughout the 2018 season. He admitted to having inconsistencies in past seasons that began even in spring training. However, in a game situation on Saturday, Bradley's first pitch was 95.1 mph. Afterwards, his 17-pitch outing only increased in speed, topping out at 97.2 mph. Early demonstration of an ability to repeat his 2017 numbers of a 1.73 ERA with 79 strikeouts will go a long way towards solidifying his position as the Diamondbacks closer.

Bradley will compete with Brad Boxberger and Yoshihisa Hirano for the D-backs' closer role this spring, Steve Gilbert of MLB.com reports.

Arizona Diamondbacks reliever Archie Bradley will compete with Brad Boxberger and Yoshihisa Hirano for the closer role in Arizona. In his first season as a reliever, Bradley posted a 3-3 record with a 1.73 ERA, 74 strikeouts and one save. He spent most of the year as the D-backs most versatile bullpen hand, pitching multiple innings when necessary. If he earns the closer spot, Bradley has the opportunity to become a very valuable fantasy option. He would still be a viable option due to his solid ratios and ample strikeout potential.

Arizona Diamondbacks relief pitcher Archie Bradley is likely to remain in the bullpen for the 2018 season, according to general manager Mike Hazen. "We're going to bring him into camp, stretch him out, but it's likely he's going to be in the 'pen," Hazen said Tuesday from the general manager meetings in Orlando, Fla. Bradley was a starter in the minors and for the first two seasons in the big leagues, but he was dominant in 2017 after a move to relief, posting a 1.73 ERA in 63 games. His fantasy value could increase significantly, too, depending on what Arizona does with closer Fernando Rodney, who is a free agent.

Arizona Diamondbacks pitcher Archie Bradley is one of the candidates to replace starter Shelby Miller in the D'Backs' rotation. Bradley has been excellent coming out of the bullpen this season, posting a 1.26 ERA and 0.84 WHIP. Using his repertoire in shorter spurts has helped Bradley fix his biggest flaw. In 2016, his walk rate was an abysmal 4.26 per nine innings. Coming out of the bullpen, his BB/9 is down to 1.88. Bradley pitched three innings in his last appearance, seemingly stretching him out in preparation to return to the rotation. If he returns to the rotation, his fantasy value will take an immediate hit. Unless he proves he can carry over his bullpen success as a starter, he should not be deployed as a starter in mixed leagues.
