Orioles Place Four Players on Injured List Amid Struggling Season

The Baltimore Orioles have had a challenging start to the 2025 MLB season, holding a 10-17 record and struggling with a high number of injuries, including key players like Jordan Westburg, Gary Sánchez, Tyler O’Neill, Grayson Rodriguez, and Colton Cowser being placed on the injured list. These setbacks have led to significant roster moves, with call-ups from Triple-A Norfolk to fill gaps. Amid the difficulties, Cedric Mullins has emerged as a standout performer, though he and other veterans such as Zach Eflin and Seranthony Domínguez could become trade candidates if the team continues to fall out of playoff contention. Despite speculation about becoming sellers at the trade deadline, Orioles management remains reluctant to shift away from their competitive ambitions. The team's challenges are compounded by the lack of depth and the ongoing struggle to retain or acquire star veteran talent. The ongoing injury woes and potential trade scenarios will shape the Orioles' direction as the season progresses.
