The Baltimore Orioles are dealing with a crowded injured list as of March 31, with many key contributors sidelined coming out of spring training. While some absences are short-term bumps, others (especially in the bullpen) could have long-term implications for the team’s depth and consistency.
There’s some good news, though. The team has secured Shane Baz, plus top prospect Jackson Holliday is trending toward a mid-April return, having ramped up through a minor league rehab assignment. Veteran reliever Andrew Kittredge, too, is on a similar track. Elsewhere, the timelines get a bit more uncertain. Here’s the full breakdown.Â
