Los Angeles Angels pitcher Archie Bradley will be out of action for the foreseeable future after suffering a fractured elbow while attempting to join the fracas against the Seattle Mariners over the weekend.
According to ESPN.com, Bradley broke a bone in his right elbow while climbing over the dugout railing. Bradley was trying to climb over the railing, but he slipped and fell which resulted in the injury.
As a result, Angels athletic trainer Mike Frostad says Bradley won’t begin a throwing program for four weeks and he could be out for “a couple of months.”

Three players received five-game bans, two players will miss three games, four players will miss two games — including Raisel Iglesias, who threw a box of sunflower seeds onto the field — and Angels catching coach Bill Haselman received a one-game ban.
