The 2019 Major League Baseball season is still ongoing, yet the Baltimore Orioles have already received word that outfielder DJ Stewart will be out until at least spring training.
As first reported by MASN’s Roch Kubatko, Stewart underwent a “microfracture procedure” on his ankle, the same ankle he injured soon after his first call-up this season when he collided with second baseman Hanser Alberto on a pop up in foul territory.
Stewart is not expected to resume baseball activities until “late spring training”, meaning it’s likely to be well into the 2020 season before Stewart is ready for game action.
