DL Hall's back soreness "not an issue anymore"

[wildcard]

From Orioles.com

On Thursday, general manager Mike Elias shared that Hall had been dealing with right lower lumbar discomfort in recent weeks. Not an issue anymore, said the 24-year-old left-hander, who has already returned to throwing.

“I’m good to go now,” Hall said.

Heyyyyy some good news

Young player hoping to make the team downplays his injury.   I think I’ll wait and see rather than relying on what he says.  

[Moose Milligan]

Yeah, I bet this won’t flare up at all this season.

Word is he was carrying too many beers at once during the caravan…

Well even Elias said it’s basically behind him

Why would Elias even mention it if it's not an issue anymore? Either way, we'll see how they use him in spring games because we know the Orioles err on the side of extreme caution when it comes to tweaks and twinges.

He mentioned it because he’s explaining now why Hall will be off to a slower start at the beginning of ST.

I think this counts as Hyde eliminating DL Hall from Mike Elias' favorite 12-way competition for the starting rotation.

With Krehbiel scuffling, hoping it helps to DL just getting a long man job Opening Day and seeing if he can build from there.

Would like to see a GRod/Hall piggyback all season w/o missing a turn in the rotation. Grod starts and Hall finishes. With Orange tinted glasses, they each average 4.5 IPs per game over 32.

Why?

Why?

1. Be fun watching them back-to-back, even it just once.
2. Something different. Heck, I think it might be fun to see GRod get two strikes on a lefty and then bring Hall in.
3. Both get about 145 IPs and would be a full go in 2024
4.  In this imaginary scenario, they are healthy all season in MLB, which is what I really want to see.
