Orioles manager Brandon Hyde updated the status of pitcher Grayson Rodriguez, who has been diagnosed with a mild strain in his right lat. This injury follows prior issues, including shoulder soreness and elbow inflammation that placed him on the injured list at the start of the season. Rodriguez's absence continues to burden a struggling Baltimore rotation, already suffering with the worst ERA in the league. Despite a strong outing from Tomoyuki Sugano, the team could not secure a win against the Nationals, marking their third consecutive loss.
Rodriguez sustained a lat strain while he was a prospect midway through the 2022 season, and shoulder discomfort sidelined him early last year.
The O's hope Grayson Rodriguez can resume a throwing program within a few weeks, but it will likely be at least June before he can pitch again.
Baltimore's rotation currently holds an MLB-worst 6.22 earned run average, worsening the team's performance as they dropped to 9-14 this season.
Tomoyuki Sugano was the most effective starter, managing seven innings of three-run ball, but the O's couldn't capitalize on his outing, suffering a 4-3 loss.
