The Baltimore Orioles have shut down right-hander Zach Eflin and placed him on the 15-day injured list due to a right lat strain. Eflin will be out for at least two weeks, but likely longer since he won’t throw for the next week. Reliever Collin Selby has taken Eflin’s place on the active roster.<\/p>\n
Eflin started Monday against the Arizona Diamondbacks but had to lifted with what the team initially referred to as shoulder fatigue. Before that, he threw six-innings of one-run ball in a 5-1 win at Arizona.\u00a0 However, an MRI revealed a lwo-grade lat strain. He also spent time on the IL last August due to shoulder soreness<\/a>.<\/p>\n Eflin is 2-1 with a 3.00 ERA through three starts this season after going 5-2 with a 2.60 ERA in his nine starts for the Orioles last year. He was acquired from the Tampa Bay Rays at the trade deadline. Eflin’s absence is another blow to an already depleted rotation. The Orioles rank 25th in the majors with a 5.34 starting pitching ERA. Eflin now joins Grayson Rodriguez, Trevor Rogers, Kyle Bradish, and Albert Su\u00e1rez on the IL, with outfielder Colton Cowser and reliever Andrew Kittredge also sidelined.<\/p>\n #Orioles\u2019 rotation: O\u2019s starters on IL: \u2014 Jake Rill (@jakerill.bsky.social<\/a>) April 9, 2025 at 12:36 PM<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n
