Pearce got a platelet-rich plasma injection in his elbow Wednesday, Eduardo A. Encina of the Baltimore Sun reports.

EDGE Analysis

Per the report, the injection will knock Pearce out indefinitely, but manager Buck Showalter expressed optimism that the 33-year-old would be able to return in some capacity this season. With Pearce on the sideline for the foreseeable future, the Orioles are expected to select the contract of Paul Janish to add another infield bat to the roster.
