Baltimore Orioles pitcher Grayson Rodriguez (25) is out for the season.
According to MLB.COM, the official website of Major League Baseball (MLB), Baltimore manager Brandon Hyde said on the 26th (Korea time) that “Rodriguez will not pitch again this year.” Rodriguez has not been able to return to the injured list (IL) on the 8th of last month due to right side injuries. Manager Hyde added, “Rodriguez is not having a setback in his recovery, but there is not enough time to put him on the mound in October.” MLB.COM emphasized that it takes time to return, saying, “Rodriguez has never faced actual hitters because he only played bullpen sessions throughout September.”토토사이트 추천
Baltimore has confirmed its advance to the fall baseball league by ranking second in the American League East with 87 wins and 70 losses as of Tuesday. Rodriguez`s departure is a significant variable after passing the postseason for two consecutive years. Rodriguez started 20 games this year and posted 13 wins, four losses and an ERA of 3.86. He was the leading player in the rotation along with Corbin Burns (15 wins, eight losses and 2.95 ERA), but as he was excluded, he will bear considerable burden. MLB.COM predicted that Burns and Zach Eflin will be substituted as the second starting pitcher, and Dean Kramer will be included in the rotation depending on the situation.
Rodriguez was selected as the 11th overall pick in the first round of the 2018 rookie draft. He won seven games since his debut last year and became the first player to win in double digits this season. “Rodriguez is recovering well. As it is a time-consuming injury, I was in a bit of a hurry to return to PS. We thought it was the right thing to do for his health and future,” he said. “We will prepare for 2025. It is disappointing and difficult, but Rodriguez will be a big part of our rotation this year and going forward.”
