Overview
- Eflin is on the 15-day injured list and will meet elbow specialist Dr. Keith Meister in Dallas for a second opinion.
- Eflin left his season debut Tuesday after 3 2/3 innings with right elbow discomfort, then underwent imaging in Baltimore with no findings disclosed.
- Baltimore promoted right-hander Albert Suárez to help a taxed bullpen after Eflin went on the injured list.
- Dean Kremer is the likely in-house option to take a rotation turn if Eflin’s absence extends, and he is eligible to be recalled next Thursday.
- The right-hander re-signed for one year at $10 million after August back surgery, so his status now carries outsized weight for the Orioles’ early plans.
