Orioles' Grayson Rodriguez: Continues ramping up
Rodriguez (lat) threw 25 pitches -- including fastballs and breaking balls -- in a bullpen session Friday, Jake Rill of MLB.com reports.
Rodriguez reported that he's now thrown a few bullpens at full intensity, though it remains unclear when he'll be able to advance to facing live hitters. The right-hander was diagnosed with a lat strain in late April after he had already begun the campaign on the IL due to right elbow inflammation. It remains unlikely that Rodriguez will be able to rejoin Baltimore's rotation earlier than August.

Orioles' Grayson Rodriguez: Tosses bullpen
Rodriguez (lat) mixed in breaking balls during Friday's bullpen session, Jake Rill of MLB.com reports.
Rodriguez had his recovery from an elbow injury derailed by triceps and lat injuries. However, he's focusing solely on his lat rehab and has begun throwing off a mound. The 25-year-old will need plenty of time to build up before being activated, so he shouldn't be expected back until August at the earliest.

Orioles' Grayson Rodriguez: Eyeing return after ASB
Rodriguez (lat) said Friday that he will throw off a mound next week and believes he'll be able to return sometime in the second half of the season, Matt Weyrich of The Baltimore Sun reports.
Rodriguez added that his elbow and triceps issues are behind him, according to Weyrich, and his focus remains on rehabbing the lat injury. Lat injuries have been Rodriguez's primary concern over the last four years, as this is his third one, and he and the team are trying to determine the root cause of the recurring problem. Rodriguez's mound work next week will be the first time he's thrown off one since suffering his setback in mid-April.

Orioles' Grayson Rodriguez: Throwing on flat ground
Rodriguez (lat/elbow) has started throwing on flat ground but remains without a timetable for return, Roch Kubatko of MASNSports.com reported Wednesday.
Rodriguez has been on the injured list since spring training, though an April 23 diagnosis of a lat strain threw a wrench in his recovery from elbow inflammation. The 25-year-old isn't likely to rejoin the Orioles' rotation until the second half of the season, but the fact he's started up his throwing program is an encouraging development.

Orioles' Grayson Rodriguez: Hoping to throw later this month
Orioles general manager Mike Elias said Friday that Rodriguez (lat/elbow) will get re-imaged in a few weeks and could be cleared to resume throwing at that time, Andy Kostka of TheBaltimoreBanner.com reports.
Rodriguez started the season on the 15-day injured list with right elbow inflammation and was recently moved to the 60-day IL after being diagnosed with a mild right lat strain. With the resumption of a throwing program not happening until at least late May, Rodriguez is probably looking at a midseason return even in a best-case scenario. For what it's worth, Elias said Friday that he expects Rodriguez to return later this season.

Orioles' Grayson Rodriguez: Moved to 60-day IL
The Orioles transferred Rodriguez to the 60-day injured list Monday.
Rodriguez began the season on the 15-day IL due to right elbow inflammation, but he was recently diagnosed with a mild right lat strain after being scratched from a scheduled bullpen session in mid-April. The plan is for Rodriguez to resume his throwing program in a couple of weeks, but his move to the 60-day IL means he's still far off on embarking on a rehab assignment.

Orioles' Grayson Rodriguez: Diagnosed with mild lat strain
Orioles manager Brandon Hyde said Wednesday that Rodriguez (elbow) has been diagnosed with a mild right lat strain, Jacob Calvin Meyer of The Baltimore Sun reports.
Rodriguez initially went on the 15-day injured list to begin the season due to right elbow inflammation before developing the lat issue last week. He's feeling better and plans to resume a throwing program in a couple weeks. Rodriguez dealt with what was described as a mild right lat strain during the second half last season and wound up missing two months, so despite Hyde's optimistic comments, fantasy managers may not want to count on the right-hander making his 2025 debut anytime soon.

Orioles' Grayson Rodriguez: Headed for second opinion
Manager Brandon Hyde said Friday that Rodriguez (elbow/shoulder) will receive a second opinion after getting MRI results back, Jake Rill of MLB.com reports.
The imaging results haven't been disclosed, but it could be an ominous sign that Rodriguez is immediately looking for a second opinion. The right-hander was rehabbing from elbow/triceps inflammation before experiencing soreness in his right shoulder Thursday, which prompted the MRI.

Orioles' Grayson Rodriguez: Undergoes imaging on shoulder
Rodriguez (elbow) was scratched from a scheduled bullpen session Thursday and sent for imaging due to right shoulder soreness, Jake Rill of MLB.com reports.
The injury is separate from the elbow/triceps issue that's kept Rodriguez out all season. It's an especially worrisome setback given that the right-hander missed nearly the final two months of last season with a right lat strain. The Orioles should be able to provide more information on Rodriguez's status after the MRI results come back, but certainly he's not going to be rejoining the big-league rotation anytime soon.

Orioles' Grayson Rodriguez: Progressing without setbacks
Rodriguez (elbow) threw a side session before Saturday's game against Toronto, Andy Kostka of TheBaltimoreBanner.com reports.
Rodriguez tossed his third session Saturday during his recovery from right elbow inflammation. This progression in his throwing program would appear to put him on track to perhaps face live hitters soon, although his next steps have yet to be determined. Rodriguez still needs to go on a minor-league rehab assignment as well, so fantasy managers shouldn't expect to have the hard-throwing right-hander available until sometime in early May at the earliest.

Orioles' Grayson Rodriguez: Another bullpen session on tap
Rodriguez (elbow) will throw another bullpen session Monday, Roch Kubatko of MASNSports.com reports.
Rodriguez is set to toss his third session during his recovery from right elbow inflammation, which would be another step closer to beginning a minor-league rehab assignment. The hard-throwing right-hander should be stashed in the majority of mixed leagues, but fantasy managers shouldn't expect him back in the Orioles' rotation until late April at the earliest. Cade Povich is currently working as Baltimore's fifth starter, but he's struggled to a 6.10 ERA and 1.94 WHIP over 10.1 innings (two starts) to begin the year.

Orioles' Grayson Rodriguez: Tosses second bullpen session
Rodriguez (elbow) threw a bullpen session ahead of Wednesday's game against the Red Sox, Jake Rill of MLB.com reports.
Wednesday marked the second time Rodriguez has tossed a bullpen session since getting shut down with right elbow inflammation during spring training, and the right-hander remains in a throwing buildup. It's unclear how far out he is from going on a potential minor-league rehab assignment, but fantasy managers shouldn't expect Rodriguez to rejoin Baltimore's roster until late April at the earliest. In the meantime, Cade Povich is filling in for Rodriguez in the rotation.
