Monday Bird Droppings: Orioles’ fans optimism is being tested

Good morning, Camden Chatters.

Was it really less than a week ago that we were feeling like the Orioles had turned a corner? They were coming off a solid road trip through New York and Boston, they were returning to Camden Yards for Adley Rutschman’s first full homestand as a big leaguer, and Grayson Rodriguez was dominating Triple-A, seemingly on the brink of a callup himself.

One miserable week sure can deflate those good vibes in a hurry.

Yesterday the Orioles received dour news about Rodriguez, who was diagnosed a grade 2 lat strain that forced him out of Wednesday’s start at Norfolk.
