Felix Bautista Throws Bullpen Session Sunday
2 years agoBaltimore Orioles right-hander Felix Bautista (knee, shoulder) completed a bullpen session on Sunday. O's manager Brandon Hyde noted that Bautista is right on track, and his session was quite promising. Bautista had been dealing with knee and shoulder soreness late last season and is slowly ramping things up as the season approaches. The 27-year-old was one of the most electric arms in his rookie season after composing a 2.19 ERA (2.91 FIP) and 88 strikeouts, with a 0.92 WHIP. Bautista additionally maintained a 34.8% strikeout rate with a 9.1% walk rate. The Orioles are hoping to have him healthy soon, but there's a chance that he could miss a few regular season games. If Bautista remains injured, Baltimore will have a few internal options to deploy as their closer in Cionel Perez.
