W hile 2025 has been an incredibly tough year for the Orioles and Birdland, no one’s suffered quite as much as Grayson Rodriguez. With the recent news that G-Rod needs elbow surgery and will officially miss all of the 2025 season, the flame-throwing Texan has become the embodiment of the very worst aspect of this year’s campaign.

PHILADELPHIA — Baltimore right-hander Grayson Rodriguez will have season-ending surgery on his pitching elbow next week. Orioles interim manager Tony Mansolino made the announcement before Monday's game in Philadelphia.

Once a top prospect for the Orioles, Grayson Rodriguez can't stay healthy enough to help his team, and will miss another season due to injury.
