Baltimore Orioles star Gunnar Henderson experienced discomfort on his right side and was forced to miss spring training. Henderson’s injury caused panic among Orioles fans, who are eagerly waiting for their star to return.
The O’s can’t afford to miss out on Henderson after his significant contribution last season. While the O’s have other options, Henderson has been excellent at shortstop. Moreover, his ability to smash home runs has helped the team make the playoffs. It turns out that Orioles fans don’t need to wait too long for their star slugger to return.
When Is Gunnar Henderson Returning To The Orioles Lineup?
According to the latest update, Henderson will see action soon this week. Orioles manager Brandon Hyde said the slugger is feeling much better. Hyde described Henderson’s progress as “the best he’s felt.” Orioles fans could watch their shortstop in action by this weekend.
Henderson has improved, but the Orioles might want to take it slow until the regular season. The O’s need to ensure that Henderson is completely fit before he gets back on the field. Orioles beat reporter Jake Rill shared the update on social media.
“Gunnar Henderson (right lower side discomfort) is feeling a lot better today, “best he’s felt” since leaving Thursday, per #Orioles manager Brandon Hyde, who said shortstop has turned corner,” Rill wrote.
