As spring training begins, the Orioles are addressing player health updates, revealing that both Trevor Rogers and Jorge Mateo are unlikely to be fit for Opening Day. Jorge Mateo is recovering from extensive elbow surgery with a timeline pushing into the season, while Trevor Rogers faces delays due to a right kneecap injury sustained in January. Rogers, who struggled last season after joining the team, may find it increasingly difficult to secure a rotation spot, especially after the Orioles made new additions to their pitching roster for the upcoming season.
Orioles general manager Mike Elias informed the media that both Trevor Rogers and Jorge Mateo are unlikely to be healthy by Opening Day.
Mateo's recovery timeline will extend at least partway into the season following significant elbow surgery, projecting a possible full return for 2025.
Rogers suffered a right kneecap subluxation in January, and although he downplayed the injury, he's weeks behind schedule in his recovery.
With recent acquisitions to strengthen their rotation, Rogers may face challenges in securing a starting spot going into 2025.
