Bad news for the Orioles - Danys Baez is done for the year and will miss at least some of the 2008 season as well.
According to the Associated Press, "Baez will undergo elbow ligament replacement surgery... The injury was initially diagnosed as a strained right elbow, but an examination Friday by Dr. James Andrews in Birmingham, Ala., revealed further damage... The right-hander hoped to avoid surgery through an extensive rehabilitation program. However, an Orioles official said Tuesday that Baez has decided to have an operation." He could be out until 2009, from what the report says.
