An All-Star infielder suffered an intercostal strain and, while he's improving, his availability for Opening Day is not certain.

Kittredge, who turns 35 on March 17, finalized a one-year, $10 million contract with Baltimore in January. The right-hander went 5-5 with a 2.80 ERA and one save in 74 relief appearances for St. Louis last year.

Add another key Orioles player to the list of those dealing with injuries this Spring Training. Grayson Rodriguez reported soreness in his right triceps on Thursday, per manager Brandon Hyde, a day after the 25-year-old right-hander struggled during a 1 1/3-inning Grapefruit League start vs.

Gunnar Henderson's availability for Opening Day may be in question. The Orioles’ star shortstop has been diagnosed with a mild right intercostal strain, an injury he sustained last Thursday while making a jumping catch in Grapefruit League action vs.

Hyde said the Orioles are “very, very hopeful” that Henderson will be ready for the March 27 oepner at Toronto but are being cautious with the 2023 American League Rookie of the Year. The 23-year-old shortstop was an All-Star last season, when he hit .281 with 37 homers and 92 RBIs.
