Baltimore Orioles pitcher Kyle Bradish will start the season on the injured list due to a UCL sprain, with a tear in his UCL. The right-hander, who recorded the best second-half ERA in the American League among starters at 2.34, has received a PRP shot and plans to continue throwing in hopes of pitching through the injury. John Means is approximately a month behind other pitchers after being held back following his absence from the ALDS, and Gunnar Henderson, dealing with an oblique strain, is likely for Opening Day. Additionally, there's concern over whether Bradish will need to undergo Tommy John surgery, with a decision looming. Basallo is also out with a stress fracture and won't catch until April.
