Baltimore Orioles right-hander Zach Eflin, who is experiencing discomfort in his right elbow, is receiving a second opinion and has been transferred to the 60-day injured list. Orioles manager Craig Albernaz indicated that the decision to move Eflin to the injured list makes sense given the current situation. Eflin, who turns 32 on Wednesday, had previously been pulled from his first start of the season against the Texas Rangers after just 3 2/3 innings. He has struggled with injuries throughout 2025, landing on the injured list three times due to lat and back issues, finishing the season with a 6-5 record and a 5.93 ERA in 14 starts. In roster moves, the Orioles optioned right-hander Brandon Young to Triple-A Norfolk after he pitched five scoreless innings in a recent game against the Chicago White Sox. Additionally, the team acquired left-hander Nick Raquet from the St. Louis Cardinals, sending minor league second baseman Brayden Smith in return. Raquet, who has shown promise in the minors, is expected to bolster the Orioles' bullpen as they navigate the challenges of the season.
