This is my sentiment as well.  I can't remember the last time a PRP injection was the cure for an Oriole.

The worst possible news on day 1. Cool.

Zack Britton.

I really hope this isn't a Tommy John in waiting.

 The O’s, to be clear, have made no mention that a Tommy John procedure is a consideration at the moment — but a sprain, by definition, involves some degree of tearing in the ligament. We’ve seen plenty of pitchers diagnosed with a UCL sprain avoid surgery in recent years (Aaron Nola, Ervin Santana, Anthony DeSclafani to name a few), but the majority of UCL injuries eventually result in surgery of some kind.

It's almost certainly just delaying the inevitable, might as well just bite the bullet and go straight to TJS.

On a related note, Ryu or Lorenzen would look pretty good in orange and black right about now...

Good lord!

Not the way to start the season.

Better sign Snell or Montgomery.

Spoiler Alert: 

It is.

[interloper]

The O's knew this in January, so they've had a month and a half to panic-sign Montgomery or whoever. Doesn't seem like that's gonna happen. 

Tyler Wells may have just earned himself a rotation spot, which deals another blow to the bullpen.

This one's a doozy. 

[Emory Eagle]

Well that’s a huge disappointment.  

[Orioles West]

Damn. Not the news any O’s fan wants the first week of spring training. Hoping for the best and that we see Kyle be healthy before 2025.

[Tony-OH]

Good Lord, this is about the worse news possible on opening day of camp. How in the world do you sprain your UCL over the offseason?

Wow, what a bummer. Guess Elias better get on the phone and get something done or Tyler Wells/Cole Irvin just became starter candidates.

Gonna go ahead and restart my computer, reload this page, pretend I haven't read any of this.
