Tate (elbow) threw another side session Friday in Orioles camp, Dan Connolly of The Athletic reports.

EDGE Analysis

Tate continues to make steady progress in his recovery from a November flexor strain, but he is still expected to spend the first month of the 2023 campaign on the injured list. The 28-year-old worked to a shiny 3.05 ERA and 60:16 K:BB over 73.2 innings of relief for Baltimore in 2022.

Tate (elbow) said he will throw 20 pitches off a full mound Tuesday, Andy Kostka of The Baltimore Sun reports.

EDGE Analysis

Tate is set to take the next step forward in his recovery from a right elbow strain after he resumed throwing off a half mound last week. The 28-year-old noted that he'll throw only fastballs in Tuesday's workout, but if all goes well, he could begin to incorporate breaking pitches in his throwing sessions to come. Tate is set to begin the season on the injured list and could be sidelined through April.

Orioles manager Brandon Hyde said that Tate (elbow) threw his first half-mound session of spring training Wednesday, Nathan Ruiz of The Baltimore Sun reports.

EDGE Analysis

Per Andy Kostka of The Baltimore Sun, Tate's throwing session consisted of all fastballs, as the Orioles aren't yet comfortable having him put spin on the baseball while he's working back from a right elbow flexor strain. Tate is already expected to be sidelined for the first month of the season, so the Orioles may not be planning on having him throw off a full month until late in camp or until early April.

Tate will be sidelined for the first month of the season due to a flexor strain he suffered in November, Dan Connolly of The Athletic reports.

EDGE Analysis

It hasn't been a good day for the Orioles' bullpen with Felix Bautista (shoulder/knee) also injured. The hope is that Tate will be ready to return around late April/early May, but flexor strains can linger and sometimes lead to more serious injuries. Tate posted a 3.05 ERA over 67 appearances for the O's last season.

Tate signed a one-year, $1.5 million contract with the Orioles on Friday to avoid arbitration, Jon Heyman of the New York Post reports.

EDGE Analysis

Tate has evolved into a solid late-inning reliever for the Orioles, having put up a 3.05 ERA and 60:16 K:BB over 73.2 innings in 2022. He'll help set up for Felix Bautista in 2023.

Tate struck out one in a perfect ninth inning to earn a save over the Yankees on Sunday.

EDGE Analysis

Tate made his first appearance since coughing up a two-run homer in his last appearance. The 6-foot-2 righty has now converted five saves in six chances while posting a 2.84 ERA through 73 innings this season. He'd given up five runs (four earned) over his previous seven appearances since his last save Sep. 9.

Tate (4-4) took the loss Thursday versus the Red Sox, allowing two runs on a hit and two walks in one inning.

EDGE Analysis

Tate surrendered a two-run home run to J.D. Martinez in the eighth inning, which gave the Red Sox the win. This was the fourth time in five appearances Tate has given up at least one run as he fades late in the season. The setup man has a 2.88 ERA, 0.97 WHIP, 59:13 K:BB, four saves and 16 holds through 72 innings this season.

Tate allowed one hit and struck out one over 1.1 scoreless innings while earning a save over Boston on Friday.

EDGE Analysis

Tate needed just 15 pitches (12 strikes) to record the final four outs of Friday's 3-2 victory. It was his first save since Aug. 26 after he earned a win in each of his last two outings. Tate is now sporting a 2.66 ERA with a 55:10 K:BB through 58 appearances. Felix Bautista (arm) was not available Friday and Tate could be in line for more ninth-inning work should Bautista miss any additional time.

Tate (4-3) allowed a run on two hits and struck out two over 1.2 innings to earn the win Tuesday over the Blue Jays.

EDGE Analysis

Tate was brought into the game in the fourth inning after an ineffective start from Kyle Bradish. Tate gave up an RBI double to Matt Chapman, but that was the extent of the damage, and the Orioles were able to maintain the lead. It's been a shaky run for Tate lately -- he's posted a 4.40 ERA over his last 14.1 innings, but he's been a little unlucky as evidenced by his 0.84 WHIP and 11:0 K:BB in that span. Tuesday's game had a playoff-like atmosphere, and Tate should continue to see high-leverage opportunities whenever they arise, though Felix Bautista is firmly entrenched as the closer.

Tate (3-3) allowed a hit and struck out one over 1.1 scoreless innings to earn the win Friday over the Athletics.

EDGE Analysis

Manager Brandon Hyde opted not to go to Felix Bautista for a third straight day. Tate got the last out in the eighth inning and then benefited from Baltimore taking the lead in their half of the frame. He got Vimael Machin to ground into a double play to end the game. Tate has allowed three runs in his last seven innings, adding a save, two holds, a blown save and a win in seven appearances in that span. The setup man has a 2.64 ERA, 0.96 WHIP and 52:10 K:BB with three saves and 14 holds through 61.1 innings overall.
