Kittredge

The 35-year-old has been out since undergoing knee surgery at the beginning of March. He should immediately return to a role as a late-inning bridge to closer Felix Bautista.

Kittredge was able to work in back-to-back games for the first time in his rehab assignment. The 35-year-old has yet to pitch in a game for the Orioles, but appears close to a return. Baltimore could use all the help it can get.

The 35-year-old right-hander threw nine pitches in the outing, all of them strikes, while allowing a pair of hits and striking out a batter. That was his third appearance on his minor league rehab assignment. There has been no clear timeline on how many outings he’ll require before he’s ready to join the Orioles’ bullpen, but it sounds like he’s getting close.

Kittredge is working his way back from late March surgery on his left knee. There’s a chance he’s ready to return at some point before the end of May, but that’s not official.

Kittredge underwent knee debridement surgery at the beginning of March. The right-hander will be a high-leverage option once healthy, but there’s no timetable for a return just yet.

Kittredge had knee surgery at the beginning of March and is expected to be out for at least the first two months of the season.

Kittredge will be sidelined for at least the first two month of the season as the hope is the operation will allow the inflammation and soreness to subside in the right-hander’s knee. He should be a high-leverage option for Baltimore in the summer months if there are no setbacks in recovery.

Kittredge was shut down over the weekend due to soreness and inflammation in the knee. He’s going to be sidelined for at least a couple of months while recovering from the procedure. Kittredge was supposed to function in a setup role in front of returning closer Felix Bautista, but now the Orioles are going to have to find a new bridge to the ninth inning.

Kittredge has been dealing with left knee soreness and inflammation. It typically isn’t an encouraging development when a player is seeking multiple opinions. There should be an update on his status at some point in the coming days. The 34-year-old right-hander is expected to operate in a setup role this season in his Orioles debut.

Kittredge warmed up to pitch during Saturday’s tilt, but the 34-year-old didn’t get into the game because of his soreness. Orioles manager Brandon Hyde called the right-hander day-to-day, so it doesn’t appear Kittredge is dealing with an injury that will prevent him from being ready for the regular season.
