Impact Lakins was removed from Tuesday's game versus Houston with elbow pain, and manager Brandon Hyde later revealed it to be a significant injury.

Managing elbow discomfort Lakins was removed from Tuesday's game against the Astros with right elbow discomfort, Joe Trezza of MLB.com reports.

Leaves with injury Lakins was removed from Tuesday's game against the Astros with an apparent injury, Jon Meoli of The Baltimore Sun reports.
Impact The right-hander was lifted with two outs in the the second inning after being visited by the athletic trainer. Lakins was only expected to cover a few frames in Tuesday's start, and he gave up a run on three walks and a hit with zero strikeouts before exiting the contest. He should be considered day-to-day until the team updates his status.

Picking up first start since 2019 Lakins is scheduled to start Tuesday's game against the Astros, Dan Connolly of The Athletic reports.
Impact Lakins will step in as the Orioles' No. 5 starter in place of Dean Kremer, who was optioned to Triple-A Norfolk after recording just one out while giving up six runs in his most recent start June 24. The Orioles turned to Lakins in lone relief in that game, and the right-hander was supremely effective, tossing four scoreless innings while permitting only one hit. Lakins, who will be celebrating his 27th birthday Tuesday, will be picking up his first start since 2019, when he was a member of the Red Sox. Since he only tossed 42 pitches in his last outing, Lakins likely won't be asked to work deep into Tuesday's start, so Alexander Wells could end up piggybacking him if the Orioles need a reliever to eat multiple innings.

Solid across four innings Lakins allowed a hit and struck out three over four innings in Thursday's 9-0 loss to Toronto.
Impact Lakins was the most effective of the four pitchers Baltimore used in the lopsided loss. He needed only 42 pitches (28 strikes) to complete his longest outing of the season. Lakins hasn't worked as a starter frequently -- he operated as a starter at the Double-A level in 2017, but has mostly been a reliever in higher levels of baseball. The 26-year-old has a 5.81 ERA, 1.37 WHIP and 24:14 K:BB across 26.1 innings this year. He's added three holds and a 1-4 record in a low-leverage role.
