Veteran right-hander Zach Eflin has rejoined the Orioles on a one-year deal after a 2025 season marred by injury, including a lumbar microdiscectomy in August. Eflin is set to throw his first bullpen session on January 6, aiming for an Opening Day return, though this depends on his recovery progress. If healthy, he would bolster a rotation alongside Trevor Rogers, Kyle Bradish, Dean Kremer, and Shane Baz, all of whom have injury concerns. The Orioles are also exploring additional pitching options as they prepare for potential injuries throughout the season.
