Orioles Place Eflin on Injured List, Recall Young, Bowman

News summary

Baltimore Orioles right-handed pitcher Zach Eflin is expected to be placed on the injured list due to lower back tightness, a condition that first appeared during his pregame bullpen session and led to his early exit from a recent game against the Tampa Bay Rays. This would be his second stint on the injured list this season, following a previous absence for a lat strain, and his performance since returning has been inconsistent with an ERA rising to 5.95. Interim manager Tony Mansolino indicated that a move to the injured list is likely within 24 hours, as the team prepares to recall right-hander Brandon Young and has Matt Bowman added from Triple-A Norfolk as additional bullpen support. Cade Povich is also on a rehab assignment and may soon rejoin the rotation, providing further depth as the Orioles manage Eflin's injury. Meanwhile, the San Diego Padres are unlikely to trade veteran hitter Luis Arraez at the upcoming MLB trade deadline despite his declining performance and expiring contract, as the team aims to remain competitive in the National League Wild Card race. Arraez has not matched his prior batting achievements this season, but the Padres see value in keeping him through the remainder of his contract rather than trading him amid limited interest from other teams.
