Orioles prospect Braxton Bragg extends scoreless Fall League return after Tommy John surgery
Bragg allowed one hit in three innings Friday, giving him six scoreless innings without a walk across his first two Arizona Fall League outings.
Baltimore Orioles pitching prospect Braxton Bragg threw three scoreless innings for Peoria on Friday, extending a scoreless start to his Arizona Fall League return after Tommy John surgery.
The right-hander allowed one hit, struck out one and walked none in the Javelinas’ 10–0 victory over Salt River at Salt River Fields at Talking Stick. He threw 20 of his 29 pitches for strikes and faced 10 batters.
Bragg has now worked six scoreless innings across two Fall League appearances. The official game record lists four hits allowed, three strikeouts and no walks during that stretch. Friday’s outing came in relief, following a start in his first appearance.
His only hit allowed Friday was a double. He recorded five groundouts, two popouts, a lineout and the strikeout to complete his nine outs, finishing with a hold as Peoria protected its lead.
The Fall League is Bragg’s first game action since June 2025. He underwent elbow surgery the following month and did not pitch during the 2026 minor league regular season.
Bragg, 25, was Baltimore’s eighth-round selection out of Dallas Baptist in the 2023 draft. He is pitching for Peoria alongside other Orioles prospects as he resumes competitive work following rehabilitation.
