One of the most popular names rumored to be a potential trade option for the Baltimore Orioles is now out with an injury.
On Saturday, the Marlins announced he was being placed on the 15-day injured list with a lumbar stress reaction. The move is retroactive to Wednesday., Luzardo has been trying to pitch through the discomfort for a couple of weeks. Miami's manager Skip Schumaker told reporters the team discussed scratching Luzardo from his start last Sunday.The 26-year-old left-hander is 3-6 with a 5.00 ERA in 12 starts, with 58 strikeouts and 22 walks in 66.2 innings. Last season he went 10-10 with a 3.
Second, the timeline for this injury, per Schumaker, might keep Luzardo from pitching again before the trade deadline on July 30. He said the lefty could be out anywhere from four to six weeks. Luzardo may not be the option for the Orioles that he was a month ago. The same could be said for any team. But one thing that makes him attractive is that he is signed through the 2026 season. So, whoever gets him will have him for two more years.
