## Resource

Baltimore Orioles infielder Jordan Westburg is out for the season due to elbow surgery, ending his hopes of a late-season comeback. The team had previously attempted a platelet-rich plasma injection to avoid surgery, but the discomfort persisted. Westburg has struggled with injuries in recent seasons, including a hand fracture, hamstring strain, and ankle sprain. The Orioles are managing a lengthy injury list, with thirteen players sidelined, including key infielders like Jackson Holliday. The teams infield production has dipped, and they may need to look outside the organization for help before the trade deadline. Despite their 20-24 record, the Orioles are still within striking distance of a playoff spot, but they will need to rely on their current roster to hold the line or make a move to keep their postseason dreams alive.
