The O's are hardly the only AL East team dealing with injuries. The New York Yankees have lost Gerrit Cole ( elbow) and Giancarlo Stanton ( elbow) this spring, among others, and the Boston Red Sox will be without Wilyer Abreu (illness), Brayan Bello (shoulder), and Kutter Crawford (knee) to begin the season.

The Baltimore Orioles have high expectations coming into the 2025 season. They have not won a playoff game since 2014, let alone a series, and lost key pieces this offseason. Corbin Burnes is on the Arizona Diamondbacks so a new ace needs to take hold.

Orioles right-hander Grayson Rodriguez has inflammation in his throwing elbow and will be shut down for up to 10 days.
