Rays prospects and minor leagues: Bradley impresses for Durham

Not a lot of pitcher stats for this week because there were only 3-4 games per affiliate.

A pitcher who has been in a groove recently is JJ Goss. I think a lot of us have been waiting for the No. 36 pick in 2019 to settle in, and he’s had the best stretch of his career. Over his last four starts, he has a 2.25 ERA and 26 strikeouts and just three walks in 20 innings.
