Wednesday Bird Droppings: The injuries are piling up

Good morning Birdland,

We have reached the point in the season where injuries, no matter how big or small, are ending seasons. Matt Harvey was placed on the 60-day IL with a knee injury a few days ago. Jorge Mateo joined him yesterday with back trouble. And even Tanner Scott’s return could be in doubt after being placed on the 10-day list with a knee sprain.

Something similar may be coming for Trey Mancini. The O’s slugger has been dealing with core issues for a couple of weeks now. It kept him out of a few games last week, and it was enough that Brandon Hyde lifted him early from Monday’s loss to the Yankees.
