Grayson Rodriguez Out for Remainder of Season

Baltimore Orioles starting pitcher Grayson Rodriguez will miss the remainder of the 2024 season and postseason due to a right lat injury, as announced by manager Brandon Hyde. Rodriguez has been on the injured list since early August and, despite showing some progress, he was not deemed ready to return before the playoffs. He finishes the season with a 13-4 record and a 3.86 ERA, having been a key player in the Orioles' rotation. Hyde emphasized the decision was made for Rodriguez's health and future, with plans to prepare him for the 2025 season. Rodriguez joins several other injured pitchers on the team, including Kyle Bradish and John Means, as the Orioles gear up for their second consecutive playoff appearance. The team is currently set to host a Wild Card Series despite the injury setbacks.
