The O’s gave 83 starts to pitchers who had a >6.00 ERA.

And every pitcher who started 10 games or more not named John Means had a WHIP above 1.45. In most cases, much above 1.45.

Top prospect Heston Kjerstad has a severe hamstring strain and will be sidelined 2-3 months

Closer candidates Cole Sulser & Tanner Scott traded to the Marlins for a couple of pitching prospects

We had our AL only auction on Saturday. I kept Sulser expecting him to be in the mix for saves as he was last year. Our rules allow me to keep him for this year only. I sure hope they let him close in Miami.

TJ surgery for John Means

Jorge Lopez looking ok so far. His velocity is up to 97-98 since moving to relief. Lots of ground balls. Hope he keeps it up.

Adley Rutschman finally gets the call

Grayson Rodriguez's last start for Norfolk: 7 IP, 2 H, 0 BB, 0 ER, 10 K, most importantly 88 pitches. Cmon already Baltimore, enough is enough. The guy's ready.

Grayson Rodriguez left his start after 5 2/3 IP tonight with the trainers, and after a looong hour scouring Twitter, seems it was a back cramp and not anything arm related.

Still, he was almost certainly going to be recalled for a June 6th start and now that’s likely pushed back, since he only threw 65 pitches.

[revo]

New, more ominous diagnosis: lat cramp. This could set him back a month, which may be enough time to dump him in redraft leagues

Grayson going for further testing. Update supposed to be Friday.

Lat strain, GM Mike Elias says he is being shut down and will miss a "decent amount of time."
