The Orioles appear to be more like insects right now than birds because lately, players have been dropping like flies. Last night, starter Dean Kremer had to exit early after taking a line drive off the forearm (X-rays came back negative) and third baseman Ramón Urías was on crutches after the game with a sprained ankle.
Hooray, Zach Eflin has been reactivated off the injured list! He was removed from a scheduled start on August 20 with a sore shoulder and it appears the Orioles felt he was ready to go without a rehab start. In four starts since being acquired by the Orioles at the trade deadline, Eflin has been brilliant: he’s 4-0 with a 2.
