Elias reveals Orioles closer Felix Bautista going to 15-day IL with “some degree of injury” to UCL

The Orioles have officially announced Felix Bautista being placed on the 15-day injured list with "a right UCL injury" and DL Hall being recalled from Triple-A Norfolk.— Luke Jones (@BaltimoreLuke) August 26, 2023

Elias said they’re still evaluating the injury and preparing for the next steps, so it’s too soon to determine whether Bautista has any chance to pitch again this season. Of course, any UCL injury brings significant concern. #Orioles pic.twitter.com/QRp5SIA1rC— Luke Jones (@BaltimoreLuke) August 26, 2023

Brandon Hyde said it’s been a “tough day” to this point and really feels for Felix Bautista. Admitted it was “hard to watch him get the news” about the injury. #Orioles pic.twitter.com/UDWA2UkxVU— WNST Baltimore Positive (@WNST) August 26, 2023
