Baltimore right-hander Grayson Rodriguez had a setback in his comeback from an elbow injury and the Orioles have shut him down indefinitely.

It’s been 352 days since Grayson Rodriguez pitched in a regular season MLB game. It will likely be much longer until he does so again.

Grayson Rodriguez was dealt another injury setback on Friday, and as Tommy John surgery seems more and more like an inevitability, it's fair to wonder why the Baltimore Orioles didn't just get out ahead of this.
