Mychal Givens News
Baltimore Orioles relief pitcher Mychal Givens (knee) appears headed to the injured list to open the 2023 season, as general manager Mike Elias said the 32-year-old right-hander is running out of time to get ready. Givens tested his injured left knee during a simulated game on Sunday, but he again felt pain and threw only 10 pitches before meeting with the training staff, according to manager Brandon Hyde. "He's doing fine, he's doing better," Elias said. "I don't think it's anything catastrophic." Even when healthy, Givens won't be in line for save opportunities in Baltimore, as Felix Bautista earned the role as the team's regular closer with his performance in 2022.
Baltimore Orioles relief pitcher Mychal Givens (knee) resumed throwing from flat ground on Thursday. The right-hander is working his way back from left knee soreness. The injury continues to linger which puts his status for Opening Day in jeopardy. The fact Givens has resumed throwing is a good sign, but he still has more work to do. The 32-year-old signed a one-year deal with the O's over the offseason. He should serve as a late-inning option and extra insurance as a closer in case Felix Bautista goes down at some point.
The Baltimore Orioles agreed to a one-year, $5 million deal with free-agent relief pitcher Mychal Givens on Monday, pending a physical, according to sources familiar with the deal. Givens began his major-league career in Baltimore, playing for them from 2015 to 2020. While he probably won't be the Orioles closer in 2023, Givens should have a high-leverage role in the back of their bullpen and should have some fantasy appeal in leagues that count holds. In his eight-year big-league career, the 32-year-old right-hander has a solid 3.40 ERA (3.73 FIP), a 1.19 WHIP, 31 saves and a 28.4 percent strikeout rate in 457 2/3 innings over 419 appearances (one start). In 2022 with the Chicago Cubs and New York Mets, Givens had a 3.38 ERA (3.96 FIP), a 1.32 WHIP, two saves and 71 K's in 61 1/3 innings over 59 outings (one start).
