has sustained another setback. Orioles interim manager Tony Mansolino told reporters (including ) that the right-hander is dealing with more elbow sorene s. Rodriguez, who had progre sed to throwing bullpen se sions, is being scaled back until he heads for further evaluation next week. Rodriguez and were supposed to be the 1-2 pairing at the top of Baltimores rotation. Injuries have wrecked both pitchers seasons. Rodriguez has been kept off the mound entirely. He was diagnosed with elbow inflammation during Spring Training. When he tried to resume throwing in April, he suffered a lat strain that shut him down for weeks. That was his third such Mike Piazza Jersey lat/shoulder strain in the past four seasons. Now, its the elbow thats bothering him again. Allentuck writes that Rodriguez had slightly adjusted his mechanics during his most recent throwing se sions. He raised his arm angle in an effort to take the pre sure off the shoulder. Its not known if that had any effect on his elbow. Regardle s, its yet another setback for a talented pitcher whose arm continues to give him problems. The Os will have more information in the coming days. Its approaching a full calendar year since Rodriguezs last MLB appearance. He made his final start of last season on July 31. Lat discomfort cost him the final two months. Its fair to wonder if hell be able to get any major league work this season. Even if this most recent i sue turns out to be minor, its going to delay his rehab. There are two and a half months remaining and Rodriguez doesnt seem close to beginning a minor league a signment. The Orioles arent likely to be playing meaningful games in September. The former first-round pick and top prospect is under club control for four seasons beyond this one. Baltimore provided a more encouraging update on . The 28-year-old righty will throw a two-inning practice se sion tomorrow and will then begin a rehab stint (relayed by MLB.coms ). Bradish underwent Tommy John surgery 13 months ago. Pitchers ordinarily can spend up to 30 days on a rehab a signment. That can be extended by as much as 30 days for those coming back from Tommy John surgery. If all goes well, Bradish should be in line to return to the MLB club around the beginning of September. Even if the Os season is all but over at that point, hed be able to take a few turns through the rotation in preparation for a hopefully typical offseason. Robinson Cano Jersey
