Ryan Webb - R - Orioles

Ryan Webb injured his left knee during a workout Sunday.

Orioles manager Buck Showalter wouldn't offer many details, but he did say that Webb will be "down for a while." The 28-year-old right-hander was trying to earn a spot in middle relief this spring in O's camp.

This is semi-bad news. It opens up a spot immediately but will make a tough decision when he is healthy. It is doubtful someone will trade for him before he shows he is healthy and effective at the major league level. It also doesn't help the Os unload any of his salary.

By the same token, though, doesn't that increase the chances of his clearing waivers so that he can be sent to Norfolk?

Yes. Hence the point after. It reduces the chances of the Os saving the money on his contract. But yes, he could clear waivers after his rehab assignment.

His contract really isn't that cost-prohibitive. *Maybe* it makes it less likely another team would claim him off waivers, but it's not really cost-prohibitive for most teams.

It definitely opens a window possibly for Garcia now.

Well something still has to happen with a second pitcher to allow space for Garcia.

That could be as simple as optioning one of the starters (Gonzo or Gausman) at the start of the year when they don't need 5 (or 6) starters. That buys them a little more time, though not a ton, obviously.

I can't see the O's putting an injured player on waivers. They will put him on the 15 day DL and when he is able he can go to Norfolk for a 30 day rehab. He proves he is healthy and the O's either activate him to their team or trade him.

He if the injury is bad enough for a DL stay.

I didn't think anyone was thinking about exposing him to waivers while injured. That decision would not come until the end of his rehab, should this be a significant enough injury to warrant that.

      Mayo coming back from injury could have his debut in Baltimore delayed.

      Wasn't a huge fan of his swing for that last out today but coming in to pinch hit with 2 outs isn't easy.

      Interpreting Malike's comment that way is theoretically possible, but I didn't take it that way--didn't feel that shade was being thrown on me at all. But thanks for the concern.

      People are being a bit ridiculous with the holier than thou takes criticizing a little humor. I am not saying what happened couldn’t cause a significant concussion, but it would be a bit of a fluke if it did. Mullins barely hit him with the bat and he had a helmet on. The fact that it was in the back of the head did make him more vulnerable, but this wasn’t the type of thing you see and think he was lucky to be alive.  Guys have probably hit their heads harder on the top of the dugout or on the fence making catches.  And note this comes from someone whose son has suffered severe concussions and who is well aware of the dangers associated with them. In short, people need to lighten up a bit on guys like Roy.  It was a little gallows humor.

      Yeah, you read that wrong. LA2 is one of my favorite posters here and he knows it. No harm, no foul. If you aren't familiar with the game threads, it doesn't matter what the team is doing, people complain about it and people did make that same joke in the game thread long before Roy said it here. Game thread in summary - when the O's are not doing well, it's insufferable, when they are doing well, it's mildly less insufferable. There, that wasn't hard. I'd appreciate it if you didn't assume I'm throwing shade at people. I'll leave that up to you to do, you're really good at it.

      Wasn't Westburg a 2nd round draft pick?  It's a little early to judge last year's draft.
