Baz was removed from Tuesday's game against the Mets after getting hit on the elbow by a comebacker, Matt Weyrich of The Baltimore Sun reports. He did not factor into the decision and allowed three earned runs on seven hits and two walks while recording two strikeouts over four-plus innings.
Baz took a 105-mph line drive off his right elbow from the bat of Bo Bichette to start the fifth inning, and after his subsequent warm-up pitch sailed over the head of the catcher, the Orioles made the call to take him out of the game. X-rays on his elbow came back negative following his removal, per Andy Kostka of TheBanner.com, but the team will likely monitor how Baz feels over the next couple of days before clearing him for his next start -- tentatively scheduled for Monday against Toronto.
