Good morning Birdland,
It’s St. Patrick’s Day, but the Orioles have been anything but lucky with the injury bug lately. Hunter Harvey tweaked his oblique a few days ago and now finds himself on the IL through at least mid-May. Then on Tuesday, Felix Hernandez exited his outing after just one inning. It was revealed after the game that he was experiencing right elbow discomfort and his prognosis was unknown.
Harvey’s lengthy time on the shelf is disappointing but almost predictably. Nevertheless, it creates a hole towards the back of the Orioles bullpen.
