BALTIMORE — The Baltimore Orioles<\/a> have ruled out two more pitchers for the season.<\/p>\n Right-hander Zach Eflin<\/a> needs a lower back procedure, and closer Felix Bautista<\/a> has what manager Tony Mansolino called a “significant” shoulder injury. Mansolino said Tuesday that Bautista has an appointment later this week, and the team will have another update soon.<\/p>\n Entering Tuesday’s game against Seattle, the Orioles had used 58 players. The team record is 62 from 2021, when Baltimore lost 110 games.<\/p>\n “This has felt like this for a while this year,” Mansolino said. “It’s just something that we’ve kind of had to take on throughout the year.”<\/p>\n The Orioles came into 2025 with questions about their pitching, and injuries have only made the situation worse. Grayson Rodriguez<\/a> (elbow) had surgery and will end up missing the entire season. Eflin, a pending free agent, has made only 14 starts with a 5.93 ERA.<\/p>\n Bautista returned from Tommy John surgery after missing all of last year. He produced 19 saves and a 2.60 ERA, but Mansolino’s comments on him sounded ominous.<\/p>\n The Orioles could get a bit of help soon. Right-handers Tyler Wells<\/a> and Kyle Bradish<\/a> are both almost back from elbow surgery. Wells is expected to make two or three more rehab starts, with Bradish making two more.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Aug 12, 2025, 04:24 PM ET BALTIMORE — The Baltimore Orioles have ruled out two more pitchers for…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":78149,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[65],"tags":[363,99],"class_list":["post-78148","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-mlb","tag-mlb","tag-sports"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/78148","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=78148"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/78148\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/78149"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=78148"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=78148"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=78148"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
