Jack Flaherty is ready to make today’s start, his fourth since joining the Orioles in a deadline trade with the Cardinals.
Flaherty was pushed back after experiencing general soreness and saying he didn’t “bounce back” from his last start and ensuing workout. He’s allowed 10 runs and 10 hits in eight innings in his last two starts.
Today’s opponent seems to suit him. He’s registered a 1.90 ERA and 0.887 WHIP in four career starts against the Rockies in 23 2/3 innings.
Gunnar Henderson, with an 11-game hitting streak, is the third baseman today. Jordan Westburg is playing second.
Cedric Mullins is batting eighth. Adley Rutschman is the designated hitter and remains atop the order.
