Jordan Westburg Recovering from Oblique Strain, May Miss Early Spring Games

Baltimore Orioles infielder Jordan Westburg is recovering from an oblique strain sustained in late January and may miss the first few Grapefruit League games. The Orioles plan to proceed cautiously to prevent a setback, as oblique injuries can linger. Westburg is projected to be the team's everyday third baseman this season and could also see time at second base while Jackson Holliday is sidelined with a hand injury. Orioles president Mike Elias confirmed the oblique soreness, noting Westburg should be ready for Opening Day.
