After a couple of days of vague information, the Orioles have given a firmer status update on Grayson Rodriguez. The diagnosis for the time being is elbow inflammation, for which he has received a cortisone shot, manager Brandon Hyde said to Orioles reporters on Sunday. After 7-10 days of rest, Rodriguez will resume throwing.
The first indication was that Rodriguez reported triceps soreness following his Thursday start. On Saturday, the Orioles said that Rodriguez’s injury was in the back of his elbow but not in the ligament, and he was moved to definitely missing Opening Day.
