All-Star reliever Félix Bautista has been placed on the 15-day injured list by the Baltimore Orioles, who can only hope his ailing elbow won’t keep him sidelined for the entire season.
“A Félix Bautista absence, even if it’s a short one, is not something that’s easy to cover. He’s the best reliever in baseball right now,” Elias said. “But we do have many talented arms.”. Bautista retired the first two batters in the ninth inning and had a 2-2 count on Michael Toglia before the right-hander walked off the mound in obvious discomfort following his 12th pitch.Elias believes the injury occurred on that final pitch and was not the result of throwing in discomfort.
Bautista this season has established himself as one of baseball’s most imposing and effective closers. The 6-foot-8, 285-pounder is nicknamed “The Mountain” because of his size, and his fastball regularly is clocked in excess of 100 mph. All-Star reliever Yennier Cano, veteran Danny Coulombe and left-handed rookie DL Hall — who was recalled from Triple-A Norfolk on Saturday to replace Bautista — are among those in the bullpen who will try to cover for the loss of Bautista.
