SCOTTSDALE, Ariz. (AP) \u2014 Starting pitcher Kyle Bradish defeated the Baltimore Orioles in the first salary arbitration decision this year and will earn $3.55 million instead of the team\u2019s offer of $2,875,000.<\/p>\n

Melinda Gordon, Chris Cameron and Steve Raymond issued their decision Tuesday, a day after hearing arguments.<\/p>\n

A 29-year-old right-hander, Bradish returned to the Orioles on Aug. 26 following Tommy John surgery in June 2024<\/a>, striking out 10 over six innings<\/a> while allowing two runs in a loss to Boston. He went 1-1 with a 2.53 ERA in six starts, striking out 47 and walking 10 in 32 innings. Bradish had a $2.35 million salary.<\/p>\n

Bradish is 19-15 with a 3.47 ERA in four major league seasons with the Orioles and is on track to be eligible for free agency after the 2028 World Series.<\/p>\n

A decision was expected later Tuesday for Houston Astros catcher Yainer Diaz.<\/p>\n

Eligible for arbitration for the first time, Diaz requested an increase from $805,600 to $4.5 million and the Astros proposed $3 million. His case was heard by John Stout, Robert Herman and Brian Keller.<\/p>\n
