The Baltimore Orioles have placed right-handed pitcher Yaramil Hiraldo on the 15-day injured list due to right shoulder inflammation. Hiraldo last pitched on Tuesday, April 2, giving up three runs in one inning against the Texas Rangers. The team has recalled left-handed pitcher Cade Povich to fill Hiraldo's roster spot.

Why it matters

Hiraldo's injury is a setback for the Orioles' pitching staff, as the 26-year-old had been expected to play a key role in the team's rotation this season. The club will now have to rely more heavily on its bullpen and other starting pitchers until Hiraldo can return from the IL.

The details

Hiraldo was placed on the injured list retroactive to April 2, meaning he will be sidelined for at least the first half of April. The team has not provided a specific timeline for his return. In a corresponding move, the Orioles recalled left-hander Cade Povich from their minor league system to fill Hiraldo's spot on the active roster.

  • Hiraldo last pitched on Tuesday, April 2, against the Texas Rangers.
  • Hiraldo was placed on the 15-day injured list on Sunday, April 5.
