Orioles Halt Grayson Rodriguez’s Throwing Program After New Elbow Flare-Up

The club will reevaluate the 23-year-old prospect in a week after he experienced discomfort in the same spot that sidelined him in spring training.

Overview

  • Rodriguez felt elbow soreness on July 18 at the same site of his spring training inflammation, prompting interim manager Tony Mansolino to pause his throwing regimen.
  • He has been out of regular-season action for 352 days, having last pitched for Baltimore on July 31, 2024.
  • This latest setback extends a series of lat and elbow injuries dating to 2022 that have repeatedly delayed his full-season debut.
  • Baltimore’s rotation holds a 5.16 ERA, the second-highest in MLB, after relying on Rodriguez to fill the void left by Corbin Burnes.
  • Adley Rutschman, Ryan Mountcastle, Cade Povich, Zach Eflin and Kyle Bradish are advancing through rehab assignments with returns expected in the coming days.
