Orioles right-hander Grayson Rodriguez was scratched from Tuesday’s start in Toronto due to pain in his upper back and shoulder. He will return to Baltimore for imaging to determine the extent of the issue. Rodriguez had previously been on the injured list in May for right shoulder inflammation, but this new pain was unexpected. The 24-year-old has been a key player for the Orioles this season, with a 13-4 record and a 3.86 ERA in 20 starts. Manager Brandon Hyde expressed hope that Rodriguez will be okay and praised the performance of reliever Albert Suárez, who stepped in for Rodriguez and pitched five shutout innings in the 5-2 loss to the Blue Jays. The Orioles are currently leading the AL East, and Rodriguez’s health will be crucial as they push for a playoff spot. This setback comes at a critical time for the team, as they rely on Rodriguez’s strong pitching to secure victories. The team is waiting for more information on Rodriguez’s condition and will make decisions based on the imaging results. The Baltimore Orioles are hopeful for a positive outcome and a speedy recovery for their talented pitcher.
