Orioles Seek Rebound as MLB Faces Injury Issues

The Baltimore Orioles aim to bounce back from a historic 24-2 defeat to the Cincinnati Reds as they start a three-game series against the Washington Nationals, with pitching concerns mounting due to a league-worst 6.11 ERA and injuries to Grayson Rodriguez and Zach Eflin. Washington enters the matchup with strong starting pitching but a struggling bullpen. Across Major League Baseball, several players are managing injuries: Snell is sidelined with left shoulder inflammation, Stanton is rehabbing torn elbow tendons, Donovan is out with a rib injury, Vierling is nearing a return from a shoulder strain, and Tovar will play through a hip contusion. The Boston Red Sox recently secured a win against the Seattle Mariners, highlighted by contributions from Rafael Devers and Triston Casas. Pirates pitcher Andrew Heaney recorded his first win for the team with seven scoreless innings. These events reflect the evolving challenges and key performances in the current MLB season.
