This was Bautista’s first mound work since suffering a partial tear of his UCL three weeks ago. The 28-year-old is aiming to return to the active roster prior to the end of the regular season and appears to be on track to do so, barring any setbacks.

Felix Bautista has been diagnosed with a partial tear in his UCL. There is still a chance he may pitch again this season.

Fantasy Impact

The Orioles are going to be cautious with their closer, but are not totally closing the door on 2023. Bautista played catch Monday and the Orioles will see how he feels in the coming days. It's more likely that the Orioles will save Bautista until the playoffs if anything, but they have not ruled out the regular season officially.
