Kjerstad went down with a hamstring injury this past weekend. He'll likely miss at least the first few weeks of the season as a result.

Kjerstad is dealing with right hamstring tightness and will undergo imaging as a precaution to check for any structural damage. The results will give the Orioles a clearer picture of how long he'll be sidelined.

Kjerstad has posted a .605 OPS across 42 Grapefruit League plate appearances this spring and appears likely to open the regular season in Triple-A regardless of the imaging outcome.
