9/08/24	'Everything is on the Table' for Injured Baltimore Orioles Pitcher's Return. For once, it wasn't Baltimore Orioles manager Brandon Hyde providing the daily injury updates — at least when it came to the pitching. On Sunday, pitching coach Drew French spoke to reporters, including MLB.com, about several injured pitchers, including starter Grayson Rodriguez. Rodriguez has been out for more than a month with a right lat/teres strain and was last seen at Oriole Park at Camden Yards throwing about 20 pitches during a bullpen session on Wednesday. Per observers, he mixed his fastball with off-speed pitches and it was his first session throwing off a mound since suffering the injury. Source: https://www.si.com/mlb/orioles/news/everything-is-...

8/29/24	Could Baltimore Orioles Move Their Injured Star Into the Closer Role?. When the Baltimore Orioles lost Grayson Rodriguez to a concerning lat injury that has kept him on the shelf since Aug. 7, that was just the latest example of their starting pitching staff being handed another blow. Already without three of their Opening Day starters for the rest of the year, losing the former top prospect was major cause for concern, especially when considering he was lost for months of action with a similar injury in the past that delayed his MLB debut. Because of that, there has been some thought the Orioles could look to transition him into a bullpen role, even potentially converting him into being their closer. Insider Roch Kubatko of MASN answered that question in his recent mailbag article, and while he did say it could be an option if it comes down to that, he doesn't think Baltimore will ultimately make that decision.

Rodriguez appeared to be throwing from around 90 feet. At 20 games over .500 entering play on Thursday, the Orioles have been one of the best teams in baseball this season.
