John Means Will Be Fine For Spring Training
1 year agoBaltimore Orioles general manager Mike Elias said that left-hander John Means' elbow checked out fine and he will be a full-go for the start of spring training next year. Means made his return from Tommy John in 2023 but managed to make only four starts for the Orioles in the regular season, going 1-2 with a 2.66 ERA (5.24 FIP), 0.72 WHIP, four walks and 10 strikeouts in 23 2/3 innings. Baltimore chose to play it safe with the 30-year-old southpaw when he developed elbow soreness at the end of the season, and he was subsequently held off the roster for the American League Division Series against the Texas Rangers. With a full offseason to recover, Means should be good to go for the start of the 2024 regular season and could be in line for a bounce-back campaign if he can stay healthy.
