When Félix Bautista left last night’s game, Orioles fans had to hope against hope that the “arm discomfort” reported after the game would not turn out to be some kind of injury involving his elbow or the ulnar collateral ligament or anything. When Mike Elias addressed Orioles reporters ahead of Saturday’s game against the Rockies, the bad news we were fearing was confirmed: Elias said it’s “some degree of injury” to the UCL for Bautista.
The exact severity of the injury is not yet determined. He said that it’s early in the process and there is no timetable for the injury.
