## Bradish diagnosed with sports hernia
Testing revealed Orioles right-hander Kyle Bradish has a sports hernia after being placed on the injured list Sunday. Manager Craig Albernaz said the team is evaluating all options before considering surgery.

> "He's banged up," Albernaz said of Holliday. "All of our guys are banged up."
## Bradish's season performance declining
The right-hander threw 155 innings with a 4.12 ERA, but struggled down the stretch with a 5.83 ERA over his last nine starts. The lower abdominal strain had been bothering him for some time.
## Holliday placed on injured list
Orioles infielder Jackson Holliday went on the 10-day injured list with left wrist inflammation, retroactive to Tuesday. He could return before the season ends, with an earliest possible return date of September 25.
## Holliday's injury history this season
This is Holliday's second stint on the injured list. He missed the start of the season with a broken hamate bone that required surgery. In 98 games, he's hitting .229 with a .640 OPS.
## Barrero called up to replace Holliday
Baltimore selected the contract of utility infielder José Barrero to fill the roster spot. Barrero is hitting .202 with a .705 OPS at Triple-A Norfolk.
## Key takeaway

Kyle Bradish has a sports hernia and the Orioles are exploring all treatment options before deciding on surgery.
