It's starting to look like the entire 2025 season may be a wash for Baltimore Orioles starting pitcher Grayson Rodriguez. After opening the season on the IL with elbow inflammation, Rodriguez was confirmed to have suffered a lat strain after an MRI was completed in April. A return for Rodriguez finally appeared to be in the works as he started throwing bullpen sessions in July; however, the latest update suggests a 2025 appearance may be in doubt.
In providing an update to reporters on Friday, Orioles interim manager Tony Mansolino revealed that Rodriguez has been shut down.
