Baltimore Orioles Struggle with Injuries, Face Yankees

The Baltimore Orioles have experienced a disastrous start to their season, suffering humiliating defeats including a lopsided loss to the Yankees and a sweep by the Tigers, leaving them with one of the worst records in baseball. A key factor in their struggles has been a rash of injuries, particularly to their pitching staff, which has left nearly an entire rotation on the injured list and depleted their lineup. Despite some attempts by the front office to bolster the roster with veterans, a lack of significant offseason moves has left the team with no pitching depth and an underperforming core. Manager Brandon Hyde and the players are grappling with a loss of confidence and consistency, as poor performances in pitching, hitting, and defense have compounded their woes. While the team's talent suggested they could compete or at least remain afloat, their current all-around struggles have cast doubt on the direction and immediate future of the franchise. However, some sources suggest there is still hope if the team can regroup and get healthier, but a turnaround will require improved play across the board.
