The Orioles are facing challenges with infielder Jordan Westburg suffering a setback in his rehabilitation, delaying his return to play. Originally placed on the injured list due to a hamstring strain, Westburg seemed close to making a return. However, his rehabilitation progress has now stalled, causing uncertainty for the team as they try to improve their lackluster 15-25 record. While some players have stepped up in his absence, the extended loss of Westburg could complicate the team's strategy moving forward in the season, potentially affecting their buy/sell decisions come mid-July.
Orioles manager Brandon Hyde announced to reporters that infielder Jordan Westburg has suffered a setback in his rehab, halting his running progression.
Losing Westburg is concerning for the Orioles, who currently hold a 15-25 record and are struggling to climb back in the standings.
In Westburg's absence, the team has seen strong performances from Jackson Holliday and decent play from Gunnar Henderson, but overall depth is affected.
Westburg was a vital contributor last year but has not found his rhythm this season before his injury, hitting just .217.
