Zach Eflin Exits Start on Tuesday Due to Elbow Discomfort
Baltimore Orioles starting pitcher Zach Eflin (elbow) exited early from his start on Tuesday night against the Texas Rangers due to right elbow discomfort, per Roch Kubatko of MASN. Before getting hurt, the veteran right-hander pitched 3 2/3 innings and recorded seven strikeouts while allowing four hits, two walks, and one earned run. While the extent of Eflin's injury has yet to be determined, an elbow issue of any serious nature could lead to considerable missed time. Eflin entered 2026 in search of a bounce-back season. Back troubles limited the 31-year-old to just 71 1/3 innings (14 starts), and he struggled to a 5.93 ERA and 1.42 WHIP with a minuscule 16.2% strikeout rate. If Eflin ends up missing time due to this current ailment, veteran right-hander Dean Kremer could be the most likely candidate to take his spot in the Orioles' rotation.
