Baltimore Orioles relief pitcher Danny Coulombe of St. Louis, Missouri is projected to be out a minimum of 10 weeks because of elbow surgery on Tuesday. According to Danielle Allentuck of the Baltimore Banner, Coulombe could be back on the baseball field later this year, but it is expected to be sometime in September at the earliest. If the Orioles continue to play good baseball, there is a good possibility we will see Coulombe in the lineup for meaningful Baltimore games this fall. Coulombe has pitched so well this season for the Orioles, Jacob Calvin Meyer called him one of the best left-handed relievers this season.
How did Coulombe get hurt?
Coulombe has been experiencing left elbow inflammation. He has not pitched since June 8, when he recorded a hold in a 5-0 Orioles win over the Tampa Bay Rays. Coulombe was very effective in this contest. He had three strikeouts, forced two batters to fly out, and one Rays batter to ground out. Coulombe pitched to the minimum number of batters in two innings to the Rays as only six Tampa Bay batters came to the plate.
