The Baltimore Orioles' season continues to unravel as they face yet another injury setback with right-hander Grayson Rodriguez. After working diligently to recover from a right lat strain, Rodriguez has now experienced discomfort in his right elbow, forcing the team to reassess his rehabilitation progress.

The interim manager, Tony Mansolino, indicated that the organization will take a step back on Rodriguez's recovery, emphasizing the need for a thorough evaluation in the coming week. This isn't the first time Rodriguez has dealt with elbow discomfort, as it previously sidelined him during Spring Training. The Orioles' pitching staff has struggled throughout the season, heavily relying on veteran pitchers like Charlie Morton, who recently suffered a tough loss against the Tampa Bay Rays.

Rodriguez, once a promising prospect and the Orioles' top pick in the 2018 MLB Draft, posted a solid 2024 season with a 3.86 ERA and 130 strikeouts in over 20 starts. However, his inability to return to the mound this season raises concerns for the Orioles' future. Fans are likely looking towards the MLB Trade Deadline, hoping the team will sell off assets in light of their current predicament.
