Scouting Report
Updated May 19, 2026
Cade Povich, Baltimore Orioles left-handed pitcher, was placed on the 15-day injured list on May 8, 2026, due to left elbow inflammation (triceps/lateral elbow area). He was removed from Thursday's game against Miami after only 3 innings and 58 pitches due to forearm discomfort. An MRI was performed and a cortisone injection may be administered. Manager Craig Albernaz indicated the injury may not be serious, though Povich has struggled with a 5.12 ERA, 8.5% walk rate, and 14.6% strikeout rate in limited appearances. The Orioles are dealing with multiple pitching injuries, with eight pitchers currently on the IL.
