Orioles' Grayson Rodriguez: Building up throwing distance
Rodriguez (elbow) played catch from out to about 90 feet Monday, Matt Weyrich of The Baltimore Sun reports.
Rodriguez was spotted playing catch from about 75 feet last week, so he seems to have taken an incremental step forward in his throwing program as he recovers from elbow inflammation. The right-hander is likely at least a couple weeks away from stepping back on the mound, and he'll essentially need to complete his own version of spring training before the Orioles deem him ready to make his season debut. Baltimore will formally place Rodriguez on the injured list prior to Thursday's opener in Toronto.

Orioles' Grayson Rodriguez: Throws from 75 feet
Rodriguez (elbow) began his throwing program by playing catch from 75 feet Tuesday, Jake Rill of MLB.com reports.
The right-hander has been shut down from throwing for nearly two weeks, so his buildup is likely to be slow and steady for the time being. Rodriguez doesn't have an official timeline for his return, but it wouldn't be surprising to see him miss the first month of the season.

Orioles' Grayson Rodriguez: Throwing progression starts Tuesday
Orioles manager Brandon Hyde said that Rodriguez (elbow) will play catch Tuesday, Jacob Calvin Meyer of The Baltimore Sun reports.
The right-hander will begin his throwing progression as he works his way back from elbow inflammation. Rodriguez is essentially going to be rebuilding his arm strength from scratch, so the plan is for his throwing progression to be slow and steady. A timetable for his season debut could be available in the coming weeks.

Orioles' Grayson Rodriguez: Starting throwing progression soon
Orioles manager Brandon Hyde said Friday that Rodriguez (elbow) should begin a throwing progression early next week, Jacob Calvin Meyer of The Baltimore Sun reports.
Hyde described Rodriguez's progression as a "restart," which means "it's going to take a while." How long exactly it will take isn't clear, but it would seem to be a safe bet that Rodriguez will miss at least the first month or so of the season. The right-hander was given a cortisone injection earlier this week to combat elbow inflammation.

Orioles' Grayson Rodriguez: Injection for elbow inflammation
Rodriguez was diagnosed with right elbow inflammation Sunday and will be shut down from throwing for 7-to-10 days after receiving a cortisone injection, Jake Rill of MLB.com reports.
The 25-year-old still doesn't appear to be dealing with any structural damage, but the elbow inflammation will shut him down for at least the next week. Manager Brandon Hyde already announced Friday that Rodriguez would be unavailable for Opening Day, but it remains to be seen just how much time he'll miss to begin the season.

Orioles' Grayson Rodriguez: Ruled out for Opening Day
Manager Brandon Hyde said Friday that Rodriguez (triceps) will not be ready for Opening Day, Jake Rill of MLB.com reports.
Hyde noted that Rodriguez isn't dealing with any structural damage, but the discomfort he's feeling in his right elbow/triceps is enough to keep him out for "some time." The 25-year-old will seek a second opinion, and it's unknown at this point how far his absence will extend into the regular season. While Rodriguez is out, Albert Suarez and Cade Povich will battle for the open spot in Baltimore's rotation.

Orioles' Grayson Rodriguez: Undergoing tests on sore triceps
Manager Brandon Hyde said Thursday that Rodriguez is dealing with right triceps soreness and will undergo testing, Matt Weyrich of The Baltimore Sun reports.
Rodriguez showed diminished velocity during Wednesday's Grapefruit League game against the Twins, averaging just 93.2 mph in the start and getting clocked as low as 89.5 mph with his four-seamer. The righty said after the outing that he simply felt "sluggish" and was not injured, but a day later he now has soreness in his pitching arm. The Orioles expect to know more about Rodriguez's status Friday after the test results are in, but a trip to the injured list could certainly be in the offing. If Rodriguez does indeed need an IL stint, Baltimore could consider Albert Suarez or Cade Povich for its rotation.

Orioles' Grayson Rodriguez: Says he's not dealing with injury
Rodriguez said the diminished velocity he showed in Wednesday's Grapefruit League game against the Twins was a result of feeling "sluggish" and an inability to "get behind the ball," Matt Weyrich of The Baltimore Sun reports.
The right-hander averaged 93.2 miles per hour in the start and had one four-seamer that clocked in at just 89.5 mph. However, Rodriguez insists that he's fine physically and noted that he was purposefully not throwing at max effort. For now, Rodriguez's fantasy managers don't appear to have anything to worry about, but his velocity will still be worth monitoring as spring training moves along.

Orioles' Grayson Rodriguez: Velocity down in spring outing
Rodriguez allowed one run over 1.1 innings and averaged just 93.2 mph with his fastball in Wednesday's Grapefruit League start versus the Twins, Matt Weyrich of The Baltimore Sun reports.
Rodriguez topped out at 95.3 mph in the outing but also finished his day with a four-seamer that was clocked at just 89.5 mph. He averaged 96.1 mph with his four-seamer last season. Jake Rill of MLB.com notes that Rodriguez has mentioned he's not trying to throw as hard this spring as he did last year, but the dramatic velocity dip is concerning after the righty missed the final two months of last season with a right lat strain. The Orioles could offer an explanation after Wednesday's game concludes.
