Orioles' Adley Rutschman: Shut down with triceps strain
Orioles manager Brandon Hyde said Wednesday that Rutschman has been diagnosed with a right triceps strain, Zachary Silver of MLB.com reports. Hyde is hopeful that Rutschman will be out for 2-to-3 weeks before returning.
Hyde's 2-to-3-week estimation appears to be an optimistic view of Rutschman's recovery timeline, as the skipper acknowledged the possibility that the catching prospect may not immediately be ready to resume baseball activities once that shutdown period comes to an end. Regardless, the injury effectively ends Rutschman's bid to make the Opening Day roster, and once deemed healthy, he may need to pick up at-bats at Triple-A Norfolk for an extended period before the Orioles consider promoting him to the majors. Since Rutschman is attending camp as a non-roster invitee, the Orioles won't have to place him on their 10-day injured list. With that in mind, fantasy managers may not have the luxury of stashing him in a reserve slot based on their league settings.
