Orioles Hopeful Grayson Rodriguez Can Return In September
4 months agoBaltimore Orioles starting pitcher Grayson Rodriguez (lat) only has a mild lat strain, according to GM Mike Elias, and the Orioles are hopeful he will be back in September. Baltimore will keep him shut down for 10 more days and will have him get more imaging in three weeks. This is positive news for Baltimore as they aim to position themselves in the AL playoff picture, giving them a reliable arm for a deep October run. Rodriguez pitched to a 3.86 ERA before hitting the 15-day IL. The Orioles' rotation has been a bit sketchy outside of AL Cy Young candidate Corbin Burnes, so a speedy return from Rodriguez into the rotation would be music to the Orioles' ears. Fantasy managers looking for an arm to replace Rodriguez in their lineups should look to Albert Suarez, who has posted a 3.75 ERA in 15 starts for the Orioles this season.
