Orioles right-hander Nathan Karns being scratched from his scheduled start Friday set off alarm bells earlier this week as the team's only major league free agent dealt with arm soreness, but a bullpen session Saturday will put him on track to get back on the mound in games, he said.
Karns said Saturday that it was more a situation where he didn't recover as well as he'd want between his start Monday against the Minnesota Twins and the scheduled start Friday night against the New York Yankees. Considering how quickly he had ramped up after an elbow injury kept him out for all of 2018, he said he figured it was best to tell someone.
