Moved to 60-day IL The Orioles transferred Eflin (elbow) to the 60-day injured list Tuesday, Roch Kubatko of MASNSports.com reports.

Impact There's no word yet on the second opinion of the MRI on Eflin's right elbow. However, it's not a good sign that the Orioles have elected to shift him to the 60-IL, which makes Eflin ineligible to return until May 31. Brandon Young pitched well Monday versus the White Sox in Eflin's place, which could earn him another start this weekend versus the Giants.

Sent to IL with sore elbow The Orioles placed Eflin (elbow) on the 15-day injured list Wednesday.

Impact Eflin had to be lifted from Tuesday's start against the Rangers due to right elbow discomfort. He's set to undergo an MRI on Wednesday, at which point more will be known about how long he will be sidelined. Dean Kremer is likely to absorb Eflin's spot in the Baltimore rotation.

Expected to land on IL Manager Craig Albernaz said after Tuesday's loss to the Rangers that he expects Eflin (elbow) to be placed on the injured list, Andy Kostka of TheBaltimoreBanner.com reports.

Impact Eflin made an early exit from Tuesday's contest after 3.2 innings of one-run ball due to elbow discomfort. He's scheduled to receive an MRI on his elbow Wednesday, but the Orioles don't seem to be very optimistic about what the results will show. A clearer timeline for the right-hander's return will emerge once the team knows the extent of the damage done.
