Chayce McDermott Still Not Cleared
Baltimore Orioles right-hander Chayce McDermott (lat) still hasn't been cleared to begin baseball activities in camp but said on Tuesday that he feels "really good" after reporting to spring training with a mild left-teres train. He doesn't know when he'll begin a throwing progression, though, which means he may not be ready for the start of the 2025 regular season. Baseball America ranks McDermott as the team's No. 5 prospect after he made just one start in his big-league debut in 2024. He was already likely facing an uphill climb this year to make the Opening Day roster, and his lat injury probably means he'll begin the year back in Triple-A Norfolk's starting rotation. In 100 innings for Norfolk a year ago, McDermott had a 3.78 ERA with 144 strikeouts and 60 walks. He has plenty of swing-and-miss stuff but also can be pretty wild.
