Baltimore Orioles Get Jordan Westburg Injury Update After 10 Games

The Baltimore Orioles are beginning to see some progress on Jordan Westburg's injury, offering a bit of optimism 10 games into the 2026 season. Westburg, one of Baltimore’s most important infielders, has been sidelined since spring training after suffering a partial UCL tear in his right throwing elbow. The injury immediately ruled him out for Opening Day and the rest of camp, and the team ultimately moved him to the 60-day injured list this past Wednesday, ruling him out until at least May.

However, Westburg is still doing what he can to rehab and return to the 26-man roster. The latest update on his status is especially promising despite still not having a return timeline. “Jordan Westburg (right UCL sprain) is beginning a throwing progression this week.

Still no timeline for a potential return to Orioles for 27-year-old infielder,” reported Jake Rill of MLB. com. Jordan Westburg (right UCL sprain) is beginning a throwing progression this week.
