Ryan Helsley Stumbles Again on Friday, Is it Time to Panic?
Baltimore Orioles closer Ryan Helsley had a rough outing on Friday night, allowing three runs (two earned) and recording just two outs to blow the save in his team's 6-5 loss to the Los Angeles Dodgers. Helsley was activated from the injured list on Wednesday after missing nearly two months due to elbow inflammation. His first two appearances since returning have been a struggle, as he's allowed four earned runs on three home runs across 1 2/3 innings. The 31-year-old got off to a solid start to the season before the injury, recording a 2.51 ERA, 1.31 WHIP, 15 strikeouts, and seven saves across 10 2/3 innings. Still, he will need to right the ship quickly to maintain the closer role now, as Orioles right-hander Rico Garcia has been one of the better relievers in baseball this season and could easily reclaim the job if Helsley continues to struggle.
