Orioles starting pitcher Grayson Rodriguez is dealing with an elbow injury that could cost him time in the regular season.

The O's are hardly the only AL East team dealing with injuries. The New York Yankees have lost Gerrit Cole ( elbow) and Giancarlo Stanton ( elbow) this spring, among others, and the Boston Red Sox will be without Wilyer Abreu (illness), Brayan Bello (shoulder), and Kutter Crawford (knee) to begin the season.

Orioles right-hander Grayson Rodriguez received a cortisone shot and is being shut down for seven to ten days with inflammation in his throwing elbow, according to manager Brandon Hyde.

Orioles pitchers Grayson Rodriguez and Andrew Kittredge will begin the 2025 season on the injured list, manager Brandon Hyde announced.

After a couple of days of vague information, the Orioles have given a firmer status update on Grayson Rodriguez. The diagnosis for the time being is elbow inflammation, for which he has received a cortisone shot,

Brandon Hyde said one of Grayson Rodriguez’s goals in 2025 was to make more than 30 starts for the Orioles. The news Hyde relayed Sunday all but confirmed that goal won’t be achieved. The Orioles are shutting down Rodriguez from throwing after he recently received a cortisone shot in his throwing elbow.

Rodriguez, who is dealing with elbow and triceps issues, is slated to start the year on the injured list and is being shut down for the next 7-10 days.

The Baltimore Orioles have been dealt a significant blow in spring training. They already lost Corbin Burnes in free agency, but right-hander Grayson Rodriguez will likely start the 2025 season on the injured list.
