Orioles manager Brandon Hyde provided the media with the latest injury updates a few days ago, rattling off the names and progressions – if any advancements were made – in rapid-fire fashion. Recording devices were essential. Lacking shorthand skills made it almost impossible to keep up with the frantic pace.

Side sessions for Kyle Bradish, Zach Eflin and Tyler Wells. Live batting practice for Andrew Kittredge. Adley Rutschman staying in the lineup despite a bruised hand. Colton Cowser improving but not cleared for baseball activities. Jordan Westburg’s day-to-day status due to a sore hamstring that later forced him onto the injured list.

Oh yeah, and confirmation that Kyle Gibson would start Tuesday night. He wasn’t injured, but feelings could get hurt from the Yankees’ treatment of him.

Gary Sánchez was omitted from the roll call but he joined Westburg on the IL with wrist inflammation. The discomfort is felt when he swings a bat.

Also, no mention of Albert Suárez, who’s on the IL with a right subscapularis strain. In simpler terms, it’s a type of rotator cuff injury and expectations for a speedy recovery don’t exist. He’s on the 60-day injured list and eligible to return May 28.

Maybe a little too ambitious. Maybe a lot.

Hyde said Tuesday that he didn’t have any updates on Suárez, then interjected, “Besides doing well, besides progressing.”

Thirteen players occupy the IL and Suárez is as important as anyone. He’s gone from 32 appearances to one, from 24 starts to none. He went 2 2/3 innings in Toronto on March 28, his velocity took a nasty dive and the Orioles shut him down. Hyde called it a “big blow” and added that it would “be months.”

Suárez made his first Opening Day roster and fell off it. He’s waiting for a follow-up MRI.

“He’s a versatile piece for us,” said reliever Bryan Baker. “Anytime you lose a guy like that, it’s tough, because he can fill in holes in different spots as well as, probably, anybody in the game in terms of long guy out of the ‘pen or give you some spot starts or whatever. We miss a lot of guys and he’s definitely one, for sure.”

What’s happened around Suárez creates a bigger blow. He’s needed in the rotation or as a long reliever, a role that Charlie Morton will occupy at least in the short term. Morton covered 2 1/3 innings Tuesday night, which should have earned him a save in a 15-3 loss. No position players were ordered to pitch.

Every team needs an Albert Suárez, come-to-the-rescue type, able to handle multiple responsibilities and get outs and bounce back quickly.

“I said it a lot. I think last year he was our season-saver with what he did for us, being able to spot start and win us a bunch of games. Be in the bullpen and go back to spot start,” Hyde said this week.

“He was a huge reason for us winning the games that we won.”

Suárez has the same smile as he passes through the clubhouse. Like other injured players, he’s staying in Baltimore and allowing the Orioles to more closely monitor him. It’s also good for team morale.

Pitching coach Drew French is tracking the recoveries and any throwing that’s done, but also doing his usual work with the healthy starters and relievers. The multi-tasking is intense.

“That’s the job, that’s the job,” French said. “For years, I guess, they’ve done rehabs up in Baltimore, so as many people think it’s more work, I think we have more energy. We’ve got really good guys in our clubhouse who are back home with the Bradishes and the Kittredges and the Eflins of the world. You always have one eye in each camp, right? But ultimately the entire organization is trying to help us win a game today. That’s what it’s all about.”

Kittredge remains ahead of schedule and his successful live BP session yesterday brought him closer to a rehab assignment that should get him back sooner than a starter’s buildup. He isn’t a replacement for Suárez, but he can be the high-leverage reliever that the club envisioned when offering him $10 million.

Creating a roster spot isn’t an easy call, but the Orioles won’t rank it among their biggest concerns. They’ve got whale-size fish to fry.

The bullpen arms belong to Morton, at least until a fifth starter is needed, Félix Bautista, Yennier Cano, Seranthony Domínguez, Bryan Baker,  Keegan Akin, Gregory Soto, Cionel Pérez and Matt Bowman. Lots of shuffling could happen before Kittredge is ready to be reinstated. Otherwise, someone in this group has got to go later this month.

Domínguez, Soto, Baker, Pérez and Bowman are out of options. Bautista (three), Cano (two) and Akin (one) can be sent down, but their spots are secure for obvious reasons. Akin is having another quietly strong season with his 3.00 ERA in 15 appearances. He’s allowed three runs in his last 11 1/3 innings and struck out 17, but he flies so far under the radar that he could bump heads with a mole.

Pérez followed his 4.53 ERA and 1.398 WHIP last season with a 9.69 ERA and 2.385 WHIP in 11 appearances heading into last night.

“Cionel, really like the way he threw the ball (Saturday),” French said. “Found something delivery-wise where he’s a little bit more aggressive into his leg lift, creating more energy down the mound. You saw the velocity was up a tick or two. The two breaking balls, it’s interesting, because I think we’re still trying to figure out how to use both of those pitches and both of those fastballs to each bat side.”

Bowman cleared waivers and was outrighted on March 27, but the Orioles selected his contract three days later with Suárez injured. He allowed three runs Tuesday night and has a 3.68 ERA in 14 2/3 innings.

The earlier outright allows Bowman to decline another assignment if the Orioles remove him from the roster.
