"Eflin had pitched well before the injury, striking out seven while allowing one run across 3 2/3 frames. His velocity was fine throughout the appearance and there was no indication the veteran righty was struggling physically until his last pitch."
"Eflin has unfortunately battled a number of injuries throughout his career. Knee issues were the main concern during his early days with the Phillies. Over the past couple seasons, he had been bothered more frequently by back and arm issues."
"If Eflin hits the injured list, the O's would presumably turn to Dean Kremer to round out the rotation. Baltimore optioned him to Triple-A to begin the season."
Eflin left his season debut in the fourth inning due to elbow discomfort, with the Orioles confirming he will likely be placed on the 15-day injured list. The injury occurred while pitching a curveball, despite Eflin performing well prior to the incident. He has a history of injuries, including knee, back, and arm issues, which have previously limited his play. If placed on the injured list, Dean Kremer is expected to fill his spot in the rotation.
