The Baltimore Orioles have transferred left-hander John Means to the 60-day injured list with a sprained elbowAPRIL 17, 2022 • Associated Press
Moves to 60-day IL Means (elbow) was transferred to the 60-day injured list Sunday, Roch Kubatko of MASNSports.com reports.
Impact Means landed on the 10-day IL on Friday with a sprained left elbow, and he'll now be sidelined for at least two months after shifting to the 60-day IL. The 28-year-old remains without an official recovery timeline, as manager Brandon Hyde said Saturday that the lefty is "not going to be on a mound for a while."

No timetable to return Manager Brandon Hyde said Saturday that Means (elbow) is "not going to be on a mound for a while," Dan Connolly of The Athletic reports.
Impact Means landed on the 10-day IL with a left elbow strain Friday and is undergoing further tests. While the results of his examination aren't yet known, Hyde said the southpaw will get a second opinion once the first round of tests are complete. The Orioles' skipper also said that he doesn't know whether Means' injury will be a season-long issue, so it appears as though the 28-year-old is in line for a lengthy absence.

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.
