The Brewers’ Bryse Wilson suggested that the Orioles didn’t make the right call to trade Joey Ortiz, referring to him as a “generational player.” Fortunately for Baltimore, there’s a lot of those lying around.
Gerrit Cole, a 33-year-old right-hander, made three minor league injury rehabilitation assignments in his return from nerve inflammation and edema in his right elbow.
The elbow injury is the Orioles’ fourth in a matter of weeks. They lost left-hander John Means and right-hander Tyler Wells to season-ending elbow injuries, and left-hander Danny Coulombe is on the 15-day injured list with inflammation.
