Ryan Helsley Placed on 15-Day IL with Right Elbow Inflammation

The Orioles have placed closer Ryan Helsley on the 15-day injured list due to right elbow inflammation, retroactive to Wednesday. While imaging returned negative for structural damage, his absence is a significant blow to the bullpen, marking the 12th player currently on the Orioles' injured list. Helsley will undergo treatment and begin a throwing program while the team evaluates internal options to fill his high-leverage role.
