LAKELAND, Fla. (AP) 鈥� Baltimore right-hander Grayson Rodriguez has inflammation in his throwing elbow and will be shut down for up to 10 days.
Manager Brandon Hyde told reporters Sunday that Rodriguez received a cortisone shot and that he鈥檇 resume a throwing program in 7 to 10 days. Hyde had ruled out Rodriguez for the start of the season because of discomfort in his elbow earlier this week.
鈥淗aving some discomfort in the back of his elbow, so we are still getting multiple opinions,” Hyde told reporters. “It鈥檚 not a ligament issue, so we鈥檙e not concerned about that. But it鈥檚 going to result in some missed time. We鈥檙e getting the results, we鈥檙e talking to multiple people about what the treatment etc. is as of right now. The timeline, we鈥檙e not sure on it.鈥�
The 25-year-old Rodriguez was 13-4 with a 3.86 ERA and 130 strikeouts in 20 starts for the Orioles last season.
Baltimore opens at Toronto on March 27.
