While the Baltimore Orioles certainly have promise in their starting rotation entering the 2026 season, there are a ton of question marks as well. While a six-man rotation seems like a possibility, the Orioles could opt for a surprisingly simple move, which would remove the need for an unorthodox rotation.
Zach Eflin has made just two appearances in spring training thus far. He looked really good in his first outing on March 5th, as he allowed no runs and just one hit and one walk in two innings of work while striking out three batters.
Then on Sunday night against the New York Yankees, he looked strong again, retiring the first six batters of the game, four of them by strikeout.
