Rays pitcher Taj Bradley is 4-8 with a 6.15 ERA in 15 starts since July 31 .

Bradley is still just 24 , so it’s not as if the clock is clanging.

It was only the second time in 50 big-league starts that he had more walks ( four ) than strikeouts ( three ) in a game.

The Rays are certain Bradley Bradley will be back on the mound in another five or six days.

Bradley 's velocity dropped, but his strike zone seemed to be eluding him.

The Rays manager said he felt "totally comfortable" with where he was at the start of the season .
