SARASOTA, Fla. — Right-hander Logan Ondrusek, due to have his elbow examined next week by Dr. James Andrews, has been released by the Baltimore Orioles.
Ondrusek agreed in December to a non-guaranteed $650,000, one-year contract. The Orioles officially made the move Wednesday, and he is entitled to 30 days' termination pay, $106,557. Ondrusek's locker at Baltimore's spring training camp was taken over Thursday by pitcher Gabriel Ynoa.
If doctors determine Ondrusek is injured, there might be a grievance arguing he should not be released but instead placed on the disabled list.
Ondrusek complained of elbow discomfort after a March 6 game.
