The only thing that really matters as spring training is that no important Orioles get hurt. Unfortunately for O’s fans, Thursday’s game turned into one with some bad news after shortstop Gunnar Henderson left the game following just one inning. The team later announced that Henderson’s exit was due to “lower right side discomfort.”
This wasn’t even the only bit of Orioles infield injury news from Thursday. Prior to the game, the team also said that Jordan Westburg, absent for a few days from the lineup, is dealing with a back issue, for which he is being treated.
