Orioles utility man Ryan Flaherty is expected to miss at least the next two or three weeks after receiving a platelet-rich plasma injection in his ailing right shoulder before Monday night’s series opener against the Minnesota Twins.
“It’s probably going to be longer than the 10 days on him,” manager Buck Showalter said about Flaherty, who is eligible to be activated next Monday.
Flaherty, who was placed on the 10-day disabled list Sunday with what the club called a shoulder strain, first felt discomfort during spring training but received a cortisone injection that helped him resolve the problem.
