Orioles' Grayson Rodriguez Lands on Injured List
Baltimore's Rotation Woes Continue
Shoulder Ailment Sidelines Promising Starter
In a blow to their already depleted starting rotation, the Baltimore Orioles have placed right-hander Grayson Rodriguez on the 15-day injured list due to right lat inflammation.
Rodriguez, who was scheduled to start Wednesday's game against the Toronto Blue Jays, has been dealing with the issue for several days. The move is a significant setback for the Orioles, who were counting on the 23-year-old to bolster their pitching staff alongside Dean Kremer and Kyle Bradish.
The Orioles have struggled to keep their starters healthy this season, with several key pitchers already sidelined by injuries. The team is now likely to rely on rookies such as Drew Rom and Bruce Zimmermann to fill the void in Rodriguez's absence.
Rodriguez's injury casts further doubt on the Orioles' playoff hopes. The team currently sits fourth in the AL East and has lost six of its last nine games.
