As the days have gone by without Gunnar Henderson re-appearing in Orioles spring training lineups, the conclusion has been harder to escape that he will not be ready to start the season on time. The O’s finally made that official on Sunday morning, with GM Mike Elias delivering the news that Henderson will be on the injured list as the season begins.
This update was delivered as part of a larger availability with Orioles reporters in which he touched on a variety of topics dealing with both injury updates and other things to do with the roster. About Henderson in particular, Elias remains hopeful that it will be “days not weeks” that Henderson is on the IL.
