Zach Eflin Decent in Rehab Outing at Double-A Chesapeake on Sunday
Zach Eflin (back) was decent in his rehab outing on Sunday with Double-A Chesapeake, throwing four innings while allowing five hits, two earned runs, one walk, two strikeouts, and giving up one home run. He is scheduled to throw Friday in Sarasota and then potentially rejoin the Orioles' rotation after that. Eflin was removed from his start on June 28 due to lower-back discomfort. After a few weeks off, this was his first rehab start, and it does not appear he experienced any setbacks, suggesting he will likely rejoin the Orioles rotation shortly after the All-Star break. So far this season, Eflin has battled multiple injuries, and when he has been healthy, he has not been great with a 5.95 ERA, 1.44 WHIP. His advanced metrics aren't much better (4.25 xERA and 4.41 SIERA). He will look to get back on track in the second half, but understandably, fantasy managers may want to see a good start or two before putting him in their starting lineups.
