After posting five scoreless innings in Friday’s series opener against the Cincinnati Reds, Rogers has thrown 86 1/3 innings in the majors to Basallo. He has a 2.50 ERA in them.
For a player who has excelled at every level — from the travel ball showcases through the minor leagues and even here, at the unforgiving highest level — Henderson is at a loss.
Bassitt received “some injections” last week to reduce inflammation in his back, Elias said, but the team and player weren’t satisfied with the outcome.
Baltimore enters Saturday’s game against the Washington Nationals at 39-44, but as Elias spoke in the dugout, he noted that, despite that record, the Orioles are only 1.5 games out of the wild card.
The Orioles lost to the Angels, 7-6, in the bottom of the 10th inning. They were on the verge of collecting the third out when an error occurred, and everything spiraled from there.
