Good Morning Birdland!
It has been a bad week of injury news at Orioles camp, particularly on the pitching front. We learned on Friday evening that both Grayson Rodriguez and Andrew Kittredge would begin the season on the IL, and their return timelines are unclear.
Rodriguez is dealing with discomfort in the “back of his elbow.” However, manager Brandon Hyde confirmed that it was not a ligament issue. Instead, the concern is with Rodriguez’s right triceps, but the exact problem has not been reported.
Injuries have become a regular occurrence for Rodriguez. In 2022, he missed half of the season with a right lat strain.
