4 years agoBaltimore Orioles right-handed pitcher Felix Hernandez (elbow) is slated to work a side session Wednesday in hopes of avoiding an injured list stint. Hernandez left his most recent Grapefruit League start due to tightness in his elbow, but Baltimore has downplayed the severity of the issue. So far this spring, Hernandez has allowed six runs (five earned) across 5 2/3 frames, striking out five batters in that stretch. If healthy, Hernandez would figure to nab one of the Orioles' five starting gigs as their rotation undergoes an overhaul.
