The O's are hardly the only AL East team dealing with injuries. The New York Yankees have lost Gerrit Cole ( elbow) and Giancarlo Stanton ( elbow) this spring, among others, and the Boston Red Sox will be without Wilyer Abreu (illness), Brayan Bello (shoulder), and Kutter Crawford (knee) to begin the season.

Baltimore right-hander Grayson Rodriguez has inflammation in his throwing elbow and will be shut down for up to 10 days. Manager Brandon Hyde told reporters Sunday that Rodriguez received a cortisone shot and that he’d resume a throwing program in 7 to 10 days.

Brandon Hyde said one of Grayson Rodriguez’s goals in 2025 was to make more than 30 starts for the Orioles. The news Hyde relayed Sunday all but confirmed that goal won’t be achieved.
