The Baltimore Orioles are inching closer to getting some of their key players off the injured list, which could provide a major boost as they continue their playoff push.
Grayson Rodriguez
Rodriguez currently on the 15-day injured list with a lat injury, is making progress and may face hitters during the team’s road trip this week, according to Jake Rill of MLB.com. The star pitcher’s return would bolster the Orioles’ rotation as they look to strengthen their pitching depth.
Ryan Mountcastle
The Orioles’ first baseman, remains on the 10-day IL with a wrist injury. Manager Brandon Hyde shared on Monday that there is still uncertainty surrounding Mountcastle’s return. While his exact timeline remains unclear, the Orioles are hopeful for his recovery as he has been a key contributor to their lineup.
Jordan Westburg
Jordan Westburg who has been out with a hand injury, was seen fielding ground balls before Monday’s game against the Boston Red Sox. Although he’s still on the 10-day IL, his on-field activity suggests he is making strides toward a return.
Heston Kjerstad
He was sidelined due to a concussion, began a rehab assignment with High-A Aberdeen on Saturday. He’s been impressive in his first two games, going 2-for-5 with a walk and a run. Kjerstad’s return could give the Orioles a valuable boost in their outfield depth and offensive production.
As the Orioles prepare for a challenging stretch ahead, the return of these key players could provide much-needed reinforcement in their quest for success.
