Archie Bradley struggled on Friday with a spot in the starting rotation of the Arizona Diamondbacks on the line.

Bradley is a potential replacement for Patrick Corbin, who has damage to a ligament in his elbow.

The right-hander gave up three runs, including a home run and six hits along with three walks and three strikeouts in 3 2-3 innings in an exhibition against Team Australia on Friday.

"Archie didn't have his command very well and they did a good job getting at him," Kirk Gibson said. "He's got some things to learn and that's one of the reasons we threw him into this game.

"I think he's understanding what he's got to do. He's a young kid. People put a lot of expectations on him, it's part of the process."
