Mark Trumbo’s attempt to make a full and healthy return from a surgery many players have struggled to overcome has stalled.
While rehabilitating with Triple-A Norfolk, Trumbo felt soreness in his surgically repaired right knee Wednesday and received a platelet-rich plasma injection Thursday, further delaying his return to an Orioles team that could use his bat and veteran presence. Orioles manager Brandon Hyde said Trumbo will spend the next 7-10 days allowing his knee to rest and heal after the injection and hopefully resume his rehab afterward.
“It’s something that is a very serious injury, and after surgery, it requires a lot of time to heal,” Hyde said.
