Baltimore Orioles outfield prospect Enrique Bradfield Jr. (hamstring) has been placed on the seven-day injured list with Double-A Chesapeake with a right-hamstring strain, according to The Baltimore Banner's Andy Kostka. Bradfield aggravated his hamstring during the All-Star Futures game last weekend. The 23-year-old has dealt with injuries to both of his hamstrings this year and also missed a month-plus with a left-hamstring injury. It's not great for an outfielder that primarily relies on his speed. In 36 games this year for Chesapeake, Bradfield has hit .257/.396/.372 with a homer, eight RBI, 21 runs scored and 14 stolen bases. He's ranked as the team's No. 2 prospect by MLB Pipeline, but given his hamstring troubles in 2025, he almost certainly won't make his MLB debut until 2026. Bradfield, a former first-rounder, has game-changing speed.

Baltimore Orioles outfield prospect Enrique Bradfield Jr. went 1-for-5 with a home run during their contest on Wednesday against Double-A Akron. This was Bradfield's first home run of the season. The No. 3-ranked prospect in the system dealt with a hamstring injury through the opening month of the campaign. He did a rehab assignment in the FCL and the High-A before being activated off the Double-A injured list on May 20. Through his first 19 games of his time with Double-A, the former 17th-round selection has held a .262/.362/.417 slash line with a double, a triple, a home run, and seven stolen bases. Last season, Bradfield made his Double-A debut and looked comfortable, holding a .287/.395/.396 line across 27 contests. Fantasy managers should expect Bradfield to reach Triple-A during the second half of the season.

Baltimore Orioles outfield prospect Enrique Bradfield Jr. (hamstring) has a mild left hamstring strain and could return to action in mid-May. Bradfield hit the Double-A injured list earlier in April. Fantasy managers should continue to monitor his status, but it appears the former 17th overall pick appears to have avoided a significant injury. During his first six games of the Double-A campaign, Bradfield was swinging a hot bat as he posted a stellar .389/.476/.556 slash line with one double and two stolen bases. Last summer, Bradfield spent most of the season with High-A before receiving a brief look at Double-A. Across 81 games with High-A, Bradfield held a .267 AVG with an impressive 59 stolen bases. Fantasy managers should expect the 23-year-old to spend most of the season with Double-A Chesapeake when he returns to action.

Baltimore Orioles outfield prospect Enrique Bradfield Jr. (hamstring) was placed on the 7-day injured list earlier on Friday. Bradfield was removed from Thursday's contest with a hamstring injury. The team did not provide further details on the severity of the injury. Dynasty managers should continue monitoring his status, but should expect him to miss at least the next week of action at Double-A. Through the first six games of the season, Bradfield posted a strong .389/.476/.556 slash line with one double and a triple. He has swiped two bags and held a 3:3 BB:K. Bradfield spent most of the 2024 campaign with High-A and held a .267/.345/.363 line with three home runs. When he returns to action, he could compete for a second-half Triple-A debut.

Baltimore Orioles outfield prospect Enrique Bradfield Jr. (hamstring) was pulled early from Double-A Chesapeak's game on Thursday with left-hamstring discomfort, according to the team. It's unclear exactly how long Bradfield will be out, but it's likely that he'll be placed on the seven-day injured list in the minors. The 23-year-old came into Thursday's contest at Double-A with a strong .375/.474/.438 slash line, .911 OPS, a double, RBI, two stolen bases and three runs scored in five games played. Bradfield is considered Baltimore's No. 3 prospect, per MLB Pipeline. Speed is his best asset, as he stole 74 bags in 108 combined games in 2024 with High-A Aberdeen and Double-A Bowie. Bradfield is also an elite center fielder. He lacks power but has a good eye at the plate and solid on-base skills. His injury likely means he won't have a chance to make his MLB debut until 2026.

Baltimore Orioles outfield prospect Enrique Bradfield Jr. will open the regular season with Double-A Bowie on Friday. The Orioles drafted Bradfield with the 17th selection in the 2023 MLB Draft out of Vanderbilt. After receiving a brief 25-game taste in the lower levels of the minor leagues in 2023, Bradfield spent most of the 2024 season at High-A. Across 81 games, the 23-year-old posted a solid .267/.345/.363 slash line with 14 doubles, three round-trippers, and an impressive 59 stolen bases. He then earned a late-season promotion to Double-A, where he took a step forward as he posted a .287/.395/.396 line with four doubles and 15 stolen bases in just 27 games. Fantasy managers should keep a close eye on his production as he could be in the mix for an early promotion to Triple-A Norfolk if he enjoys similar production at the start of the 2025 season.
