Chayce McDermott Suffers Lat Strain, Briefly Shut Down
According to Jacob Calvin Meyer of the Baltimore Sun, Orioles starting pitching prospect Chayce McDermott (lat) sustained a mild lat/teres strain and is being briefly shut down. Meyer noted that McDermott will begin a throwing program in 10-14 days. Given this setback, McDermott will face an uphill battle to have a chance to make the Opening Day roster. Last season, McDermott was given one start in the major leagues. Across his first four MLB frames, the No. 5 ranked prospect in the system allowed three earned runs. He spent the majority of the campaign with Triple-A Norfolk, where he logged 100 innings to the tune of a 3.78 ERA and a 1.41 WHIP. He tallied 144 punchouts and served up 60 free passes. Fantasy managers should expect the Ball State product to open the season the season with Triple-A but will likely be given a call to the majors later in the summer.
