Pinto (elbow) made his season debut for High-A Asheville on Wednesday, covering 2.1 innings and striking out four batters while allowing two earned runs on two hits and three walks.
Pinto initially opened the season on Double-A Corpus Christi's 7-day injured list, but he was activated and assigned to Asheville on June 7 after completing his recovery from March 2024 Tommy John surgery. Prior to being activated, Pinto made four rehab appearances between the rookie-level Florida Complex League and Single-A Fayetteville, turning in a 2.31 ERA, 0.77 WHIP and 13:4 K:BB over 11.2 innings.

Rotowire
Pinto underwent Tommy John surgery on his right elbow earlier in March, Roch Kubatko of MASNSports.com reports.
Pinto will miss all of 2024 and likely a large chunk of 2025 while recovering from the surgery. He got up to Double-A in 2023, posting a 3.72 ERA, 1.52 WHIP and 28:12 K:BB over 29 innings with Bowie. The 23-year-old was acquired by the Orioles from the Angels in a trade in December of 2020.
