Bradley suffered a broken right elbow while overcoming the Dougout railing during the team's close quarters battle with the Seattle Mariners on Sunday.

Biller led the major with 62 steals in 2016 for Milwaukee Brewers. He played shortstop (392 career start), second base (335) and third base (144).
27-year-old Tyce won 0-2 in two strikeouts this season in Los Angeles.
