Kyle Bradish's elbow injury has cast doubt on his availability for the 2024 season, leading the Baltimore Orioles to opt for platelet-rich plasma injections. His situation prompted a significant trade for ace Corbin Burnes from the Milwaukee Brewers, which proved crucial for the team's rotation.
Other injured players include Grayson Rodriguez, who is expected to return for spring training, and Colton Cowser, who recently underwent surgery but is also on track for spring. Félix Bautista, recovering from Tommy John surgery, is anticipated to contribute but will be eased back into action. Jorge Mateo and Tyler Wells face their own recovery challenges, with Wells undergoing a new procedure that could shorten his recovery time.
