Sceroler (shoulder) hasn't yet resumed throwing, Roch Kubatko of MASNSports.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
Manager Brandon Hyde said Saturday that Sceroler is progressing well at the team's alternate training site, and the right-hander's shoulder is feeling better. However, a better timetable for Sceroler's return to game action likely won't come into focus until he resumes throwing. The right-hander allowed three runs on five hits and three walks while striking out six in 3.2 innings across his first two major-league appearances.

Orioles manager Brandon Hyde said Thursday that he's encouraged by Sceroler's (shoulder) test results so far, Roch Kubatko of MASNSports.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
Sceroler was placed on the 10-day injured list Wednesday due to right shoulder tendinitis, retroactive to April 13, but he isn't expected to miss much time. The Orioles haven't given a specific timetable for Sceroler's return, but he's eligible to be activated as soon as April 23. In his first two major-league appearances, Sceroler allowed three runs on five hits and three walks while striking out six in 3.2 innings.

Sceroler was placed on the 10-day injured list due to right shoulder tendinitis, retroactive to April 13.
EDGE Analysis
Sceroler had a clean major-league debut April 5, but he gave up three runs on five hits and one walk while striking out two in one inning against the Red Sox on Sunday. The right-hander's shoulder issue may have contributed to his struggles, and he'll now miss time while he recovers. Travis Lakins was recalled from the team's alternate training site to fill in as a reliever while Sceroler is sidelined. It's not yet clear how much time Sceroler will miss as a result of his injury.

Sceroler pitched 2.2 scoreless innings with two walks and four strikeouts in Monday's 7-0 loss to the Yankees.
EDGE Analysis
Sceroler struggled through spring training, but his first official outing went well. The 25-year-old was called on to mop up some innings in a blowout loss Monday, and he did well. The right-hander worked as a starter with High-A Dayton in 2019, posting a 3.69 ERA, 1.11 WHIP and 127:29 K:BB, but it's a big jump to the majors just two years later. Expect Sceroler to begin 2021 in low-leverage, multi-inning assignments for the Orioles.

Sceroler will make the Orioles' Opening Day roster, Nathan Ruiz of The Baltimore Sun reports.
EDGE Analysis
The Orioles had extra incentive to keep Sceroler around, as he's a Rule 5 pick and would have to be offered back to the Reds should he fail to earn a spot. That seems to be the main reason he'll break camp with the team, as it's hard to say he earned a job this spring. He struggled to a 6.43 ERA, 1.86 WHIP and 3:6 K:BB in seven Grapefruit League innings. He's unlikely to get close to high-leverage opportunities this season.

The Orioles selected Sceroler with the fifth pick of the Rule 5 draft.
EDGE Analysis
The 25-year-old righty most recently logged a 3.69 ERA, 1.11 WHIP and 127 strikeouts in 117 innings at High-A in 2019 as a member of the Reds organization. He could get stretched out this spring and will most likely work as a swing man or long reliever in 2021.
