Overview

  • Gunnar Henderson, 23, was removed from Thursday's spring training game after experiencing discomfort in his lower right side.
  • The Orioles have not yet determined the severity of the issue or whether it will impact Henderson's availability for the season.
  • Henderson made a leaping catch in the top of the first inning and grounded out to first base before being replaced in the field by Luis Vázquez.
  • The infielder has been durable throughout his career, playing 159 games last season and never being placed on the injured list in his three MLB seasons.
  • The Orioles are also managing the absence of All-Star infielder Jordan Westburg, who is sidelined for a few days with lower back soreness.
