Orioles Place Zach Eflin on 15-Day Injured List with Elbow Discomfort
Eflin struck out seven in 3 2/3 innings before leaving after a mound visit, and the Orioles said he had right elbow discomfort.
- Baltimore Orioles starting pitcher Zach Eflin was abruptly removed from Tuesday's game against the Texas Rangers in the fourth inning after signaling right elbow discomfort; Manager Craig Albernaz and trainer Scott Barringer pulled him immediately.
- Eflin struggled through an injury-plagued 2025 season that ended early due to back issues requiring lumbar microdiscectomy surgery; the Orioles re-signed him this past offseason to a one-year deal despite the setback.
- During Spring Training, Eflin impressed, pitching 7.1 scoreless innings while allowing just two hits across 25 batters faced, suggesting he had recovered fully from his previous injury.
- A stint on the Injured List is all but certain for Eflin given the nature of pitcher elbow discomfort; the team may recall Dean Kremer or Cade Povich from Triple-A Norfolk if he misses significant time.
- Kremer is slated to start on Friday but could be bumped to Monday to cover Eflin's next scheduled turn against the Chicago White Sox, pending the severity of the right-hander's injury.
