Orioles put Means on IL, more tests on elbow expected
The Baltimore Orioles have put John Means on the 10-day injured list, and the left-hander is expected to have additional tests on his elbowAPRIL 15, 2022 • ASSOCIATED PRESS
Out with elbow strain Means was placed on the 10-day injured list Friday with a left elbow strain, Rich Dubroff of BaltimoreBaseball.com reports.
Impact The 28-year-old departed Wednesday's start against the Brewers after only 51 pitches due to forearm tightness, and the injury has now been clarified as an elbow strain following an MRI. The severity of the strain remains unclear, but it's safe to assume Means will spend more than the 10-day minimum on the shelf. It's a big blow to the Orioles' starting rotation, which was already short on established options.

Will undergo MRI Mean is scheduled to undergo an MRI after leaving Wednesday's start against Milwaukee with left forearm tightness, Dan Connolly of The Athletic reports.
Impact The left-hander apparently isn't overly concerned about the injury and hopes to throw again shortly after the MRI. Means didn't factor in the decision Wednesday after giving up two runs on two hits with two strikeouts and one walk across four innings, and his availability for his next turn through the rotation will remain in question at least until the Orioles update his status.

Dealing with forearm tightness Means was removed from Tuesday's start versus the Brewers with left forearm tightness, Roch Kubatko of MASNSports.com reports.
Impact Means made an abrupt exit after four innings during Tuesday's start, and his initial diagnosis is a worrying one. He left in line for the loss after giving up two runs on two hits with two strikeouts and one walk. The specifics and severity of the injury remain unclear, but forearm tightness is often a precursor to more serious issues. Means should be considered day-to-day until more information is available, leaving his availability for the next turn through the rotation up in the air.

Leaves after 51 pitches Means was removed from Tuesday's game against the Brewers after four innings for undisclosed reasons, Nathan Ruiz of The Baltimore Sun reports.
Impact Means was at only 51 pitches and had retired seven straight batters since allowing a two-out, RBI single during the second inning, so his exit clearly isn't performance-related. The 28-year-old left in line for the loss and allowed two runs on two hits and a walk with two strikeouts. Means' status should be updated by the team sometime during or after Wednesday's contest.

Strikes out five in no-decision Means allowed one run on six hits and a walk over four innings in Friday's loss to the Rays. He struck out five and did not factor in the decision.
Impact Means worked two scoreless frames to begin the game before loading the bases in the third inning. He managed to escape after yielding just one run on a sacrifice fly by Brandon Lowe. The 28-year-old southpaw posted a 3.62 ERA across 146.2 innings last season and will spend another year as Baltimore's ace. Means is lined up to face the Brewers at home next week.

Nabs Opening Day start Manager Brandon Hyde announced Thursday that Means will start the Orioles' April 8 season opener in Tampa Bay, Zachary Silver of MLB.com reports.
Impact Coming off a 2021 campaign in which he submitted a 3.62 ERA, 1.03 WHIP and 134:26 K:BB across 146.2 innings, Means was the clear top choice for the Opening Day nod in an Orioles rotation otherwise lacking in quality starting options. Means proved vulnerable to the long ball (30 home runs allowed) last season, but the ballpark changes at Camden Yards in 2022 could help the southpaw in terms of power suppression. In addition to increasing the distance from home plate to left field and left-center field by nearly 30 feet, the Orioles raised the height of Camden Yards' outfield wall by nearly six feet.
