New York Yankees vs Baltimore Orioles: Injury Reports, Predicted Lineups - April 15th, 2022 | MLB 2022

The New York Yankees will travel to Oriole Park at Camden Yards in Maryland to play the Baltimore Orioles on April 15.

The Baltimore Orioles, unfortunately, have resumed this season exactly where they left the last one — losing baseball games. The Orioles were swept by the Tampa Bay Rays in their season-opening series, getting outscored by a margin of 15-4.

The Yankees, on the other hand, came out on top 2-1 in a series against the Boston Red Sox and are currently tied in a four-game series against the Toronto Blue Jays.

Baltimore Orioles vs New York Yankees Injury Report

New York Yankees Injury Report

The Yankees are lucky enough to have a very short injury list. Shorter still, is the list of players who normally make the lineup who are out of commission.

Here's the short list:

Player	Status	Reason
Ben Rortvedt	10-Day IL	Oblique
Zach Britton	60-Day IL	Elbow

Catcher Ben Rortvedt, who came to the Yankees in a trade along with Isiah Kiner-Falefa and Josh Donaldson, is on the 10-day IL with an oblique injury, and pitcher Zach Britton is on the 60-day IL with elbow issues.

"Interesting. Yankees say they've added Marwin Gonzalez to the 40-man (duh), but that Ben Rortvedt is only going on the 10-day (oblique) — IDK why I thought he might be a 60-day candidate. Last I spoke to him, the oblique still hurt when he swings. And they DFA'ed Jeisson Rosario" - @ Brendan Kuty

Baltimore Orioles Injury Report

The Orioles are also quite healthy, thankfully, as they will need all the help they can get to turn their young but ugly season around.

Pitcher Dean Kremer is on the 10-day IL with elbow issues. Kremer appeared in 13 starts for the O's last season, going 0-7 with an ERA of 7.55.

"Dean Kremer changeup with 23" of horizontal" - @ Codify

The list of Orioles injuries is below:

Player	Status	Reason
Dean Kremer	10-Day IL	Elbow
Yusniel Diaz	Day-to-Day	Hamstring
Adley Rutschman	Day-to-Day	Tricep
Isaac Mattson	Day-to-Day	Shoulder
