Orioles' Gunnar Henderson: Optimistic for Opening Day
Henderson said Saturday that his right intercostal feels "a lot better," and he's hoping to be available for Opening Day, Jake Rill of MLB.com reports.
The 23-year-old suffered the mild intercostal strain in late February but resumed baseball activities this week and is hoping to return to game action before the end of the Grapefruit League slate. Henderson will likely need to ramp up his baseball work during the upcoming week to have a realistic shot at Opening Day.

Orioles' Gunnar Henderson: Hits in batting cage
Henderson (intercostal) hit in the batting cage Tuesday and is slated to take grounders Wednesday, Roch Kubatko of MASNSports.com reports.
It's the start of Henderson's progression as he returns to baseball activities following a mild right intercostal muscle strain. The 23-year-old does not have much runway to get ramped up in time for Opening Day, but the Orioles are not ruling out his availability for March 27 in Toronto. If Henderson needs a little time on the injured list, Baltimore could shift Jackson Holliday to shortstop temporarily and install Ramon Urias or Jordan Westburg at second base, with the other occupying third base.

Orioles' Gunnar Henderson: Opening Day availability in peril
Manager Brandon Hyde said Wednesday that Henderson's status for the Orioles' March 27 season opener in Toronto is up in the air after the shortstop was diagnosed with a mild intercostal muscle strain, Matt Weyrich of The Baltimore Sun reports.
While Henderson's condition has improved since he sustained the injury last Thursday, the Orioles plan to proceed cautiously with the 23-year-old star with the aim of avoiding a setback that could extend his recovery timeline. Hyde's comments suggest that Henderson's return to the Grapefruit League lineup isn't imminent, though the skipper remains "very, very hopeful" that Henderson will be ready for the start of the season. Even if Henderson isn't back to 100 percent in advance of Opening Day, he shouldn't be in store for an extended absence to begin the season, but the uncertainty of his status is reason enough for fantasy managers to bump him down at least a few spots on their draft boards.

Orioles' Gunnar Henderson: Turns corner in recovery
Orioles manager Brandon Hyde said Monday that Henderson (side) has turned a corner in his recovery, Jake Rill of MLB.com reports.

Orioles' Gunnar Henderson: Should resume activities soon
Manager Brandon Hyde said Sunday that Henderson (side) is improving but is still a few days away from resuming baseball activities, Andy Kostka of TheBaltimoreBanner.com reports.
Henderson is still tending to a sore lower right side, which he tweaked in Thursday's Grapefruit League game against Toronto. The Orioles are hoping that a few more days of rest will be enough for Henderson to overcome the issue, though his return to the spring lineup still may be a week away or longer.

Orioles' Gunnar Henderson: Resting through weekend
Manager Brandon Hyde said Friday that Henderson (side) is "pretty sore" and will rest through the weekend, though there's still minimal long-term concern about the injury, Matt Weyrich of The Baltimore Sun reports.
The 23-year-old was removed from Thursday's Grapefruit League game as a precaution due to right lower-side soreness, which was the result of an awkward landing while he caught a line drive. Assuming he doesn't need any additional time to recover, Henderson should return to game action next week.

Orioles' Gunnar Henderson: Exits with possible injury
Henderson was removed from Thursday's Grapefruit League game versus the Blue Jays after one inning with a possible injury, Matt Weyrich of The Baltimore Sun reports.
It's not clear what happened, but he was seen exiting the field with an athletic trainer. Henderson attempted to beat out a bobbled grounder during his one plate appearance and also made a leaping catch in the field, so it's possible he tweaked something during one of those plays. The Orioles should offer an update on his status soon.

Orioles' Gunnar Henderson: Removal viewed as precautionary
Orioles manager Brandon Hyde said Henderson's (side) removal from Thursday's game versus the Blue Jays was precautionary, Roch Kubatko of MASNSports.com reports.
Henderson's lower right side was a bit sore as a result of landing on the ground after catching a Bo Bichette line drive. However, there are no plans for Henderson to undergo an MRI and the Orioles expect him to be fine. Fantasy managers can breathe a sigh of relief.

Orioles' Gunnar Henderson: Battling side discomfort
Henderson was removed from Thursday's Grapefruit League game against Toronto due to lower right side discomfort, Matt Weyrich of The Baltimore Sun reports.
It's likely that Henderson tweaked something after making a diving catch in the field or while attempting to beat out a grounder during his lone at-bat, and it bothered him enough to warrant his removal after just one inning. The Orioles will presumably take a closer look at him to make sure he didn't suffer a more serious injury, but he can be marked as day-to-day for now.
