Orioles GM Mike Elias revealed key roster updates as the team prepares for Opening Day. Notably, star shortstop Gunnar Henderson will open the season on the 10-day injured list due to an intercostal strain that has hampered his participation during Spring Training. This is a setback for the young player, who had an exceptional 2024 season, ranking high in MVP voting. Meanwhile, Cade Povich will take on the role of the fifth starter, with veteran Albert Suarez joining the bullpen. Elias is optimistic about Henderson's quick recovery, suggesting he may only miss the minimum of seven days.
