Baltimore Orioles pitcher Grayson Rodriguez will undergo an MRI for his sore throwing shoulder following the cancellation of a bullpen session. Rodriguez, who last pitched in a regular-season game on July 31, had been recovering from right elbow inflammation and recently experienced shoulder soreness. The 25-year-old right-hander, drafted 11th overall in 2018, has a career record of 20-8 with a 4.11 ERA in 43 starts over two seasons.
The Orioles, dealing with a series of pitching injuries, have placed several starters on the injured list, including Kyle Braddish and Tyler Wells undergoing surgery, while Albert Suárez and Zach Eflin have been sidelined with shoulder and lat issues, respectively. Manager Brandon Hyde expressed uncertainty about Rodriguez's shoulder condition and emphasized the need for imaging to assess the situation further.
