Baltimore Orioles starter Chris Tillman won’t pitch on Opening Day after receiving a platelet-rich plasma (PRP) injection in December. But on Wednesday morning, Tillman met with the media and said he didn’t believe he’d miss much time.
Tillman pitched through something similar back in August, which resulted in a trip to the disabled list. However when Tillman went to begin his throwing program over the offseason, something didn’t feel right. He spoke to the Orioles training staff who gave him the PRP injection. The injection shut Tillman down until Spring Training, which means Tillman could find himself opening the season on the disabled list.
