Part 4/9:
Turning to the Baltimore Orioles, the situation is equally precarious with their pitching rotation under threat. Grayson Rodriguez’s response to a cortisone shot for elbow inflammation will be closely monitored, especially with Andrew Kittredge set to miss significant time due to a knee injury. The Orioles had already struggled with their rotation, and the absence of Rodriguez, who many view as a potential ace, will strain an already thin lineup.
Moreover, having failed to adequately bolster their pitching staff this offseason, the organization now finds itself in a difficult position, potentially impacting their efforts to claim a playoff spot.
