The number one goal for spring training is to get through it without anybody getting hurt. Another situation of unknown seriousness cropped up for the Orioles on Sunday afternoon as they played their way through another spring training loss, an 8-7 defeat at the hands of the Red Sox. T.J. McFarland came out of Sunday's game earlier than scheduled due to what manager Buck Showalter termed a "tender elbow."
Showalter added to reporters that he could see something was off with McFarland in the fifth inning of the game, the second that McFarland worked.
