Baltimore Orioles left-hander John Means, who is already on the 60-day injured list, has suffered a back muscle strain that will further delay his return to the mound. General manager Mike Elias said a return in July is out of the picture, meaning it will still be many months before he returns. Means had previously been one of the few bright spots on the Baltimore roster during their dismal rebuilding years. Meanwhile, right-hander Dillon Tate has been dealing with a flexor strain since November and still hasn’t made it to the majors this year.

Baltimore Orioles pitcher John Means suffered a setback in his recovery from elbow surgery after straining a muscle in his upper back during a nonthrowing-related drill. The injury means Means won't be able to return in July, as previously hoped, and it's unclear how long the setback will delay his return. However, the team is optimistic that the 30-year-old left-hander will return in 2023. Reliever Dillon Tate also suffered a setback with a stress reaction in his elbow, but the team doesn't view it as a long-term issue. Outfield prospect Colton Cowser's left quadriceps injury isn't major, and he's expected to come off the Triple-A IL soon.
