Scouting Report
Updated May 19, 2026
Cade Povich, Baltimore Orioles left-handed pitcher, was placed on the 15-day injured list due to left elbow inflammation (triceps area). The injury forced him out of his last start on Wednesday after only 3 innings and 58 pitches. An MRI was performed and he may receive a cortisone shot. Povich has made 3 starts and 4 total appearances this season, posting a 5.12 ERA, 8.5% walk rate, and 14.6% strikeout rate over 19 innings. The Orioles have multiple starters on the IL, creating rotation instability.
