Orioles’ Gunnar Henderson Headed to Injured List at Season Start

The Baltimore Orioles have announced that their star shortstop, Gunnar Henderson, will begin the MLB season on the injured list due to a minor injury sustained during spring training. This news comes as a setback for the Orioles, who were counting on Henderson's prowess on the field to bolster their lineup from the get-go.

Details from various sports outlets, including ESPN and CBS Sports, indicate that while Henderson's injury is not considered severe, it will keep him sidelined for the opening days of the season. The team remains optimistic that his absence will be measured in days rather than weeks, aiming for a swift recovery.

In Henderson's absence, the Orioles are looking at Jorge Mateo as a possible replacement to start on Opening Day. Additionally, the team has named Povich as their fifth starter, signaling adjustments in their lineup and strategy to cope with the early season challenge.

Fans and analysts alike are keeping a close eye on Henderson's recovery progress, hoping for his quick return to action. The Orioles, determined to make a strong showing this season, are navigating these early hurdles with strategic adjustments and a focus on player health.
