He will be shut down from throwing for at least four weeks and overall is expected to be sidelined around two months, which means Bradley could return in time for the final month of the regular season.

It's tough to tell here, but Archie Bradley did appear to fall on his right hand/arm when coming out of the dugout at the start of the brawl on Sunday. We'll know more of the source of the injury soon hopefully. (H/T @Jomboy_) pic.twitter.com/4XGPtZwqTl

Bradley was not among the 12 players suspended for their actions during and leading up to the benches-clearing fracas.'
Bradley in this, his age-29 campaign, has pitched to a 4.82 ERA (83 ERA+) with 15 strikeouts and six unintentional walks in 18 2/3'innings. After turning in a solid season with the Phillies in 2021, Bradley this past offseason signed a one-year, $3.75 million contract with the Angels.'
