The Orioles promoted Bradfield from Double-A Chesapeake to Triple-A Norfolk on Monday, Rich Dubroff of BaltimoreBaseball.com reports.
Bradfield will spend the final three weeks of the season at the highest level of the minors after slashing .269/.393/.386 with two home runs and 26 steals in 50 games at Double-A. He missed a month with a strained left hamstring in April and another month with a right hamstring strain in July. Bradfield is one of the better defensive center fielders in the minors and can cause havoc on the bases, but his offensive gains at Double-A were marginal, as his .117 ISO was a small step up from his .109 ISO at the level in 2024. While he doesn't offer much power, Bradfield controls the strike zone well (0.86 BB/K) and could get on base enough to play regularly in the big leagues within a season or two.

Orioles' Enrique Bradfield: Placed on Double-A IL
Rotowire
Bradfield was placed on the 7-day injured list at Double-A Chesapeake on Thursday with a right hamstring strain, Andy Kostka of TheBaltimoreBanner.com reports.
Hamstring problems have been an issue for Bradfield all season, as he missed more than a month early in the year with a left hamstring injury and tweaked his right hamstring in late June. Now dealing with his second right hamstring injury within the past month, the 23-year-old speedster will be sidelined for at least another week.
Bradfield went 2-for-3 with two walks, three runs and an RBI on Sunday in Double-A Chesapeake's 12-4 win over Erie before he was removed in the top of the eighth inning due to right hamstring tightness, Andy Kostka of TheBaltimoreBanner.com reports.
Bradfield previously spent more than five weeks on Chesapeake's 7-day injured list earlier this season due to a left hamstring strain, but it's an injury to his other leg that resulted in his early exit Sunday. The Orioles are viewing Bradfield as day-to-day until he undergoes further testing, but the 23-year-old outfielder looks like he could be in danger of another IL stint. Bradfield is slashing .240/.378/.356 with one home run and 13 stolen bases in 33 games for Chesapeake this season.
