Andrew Kittredge Undergoes Successful Knee Surgery
1 month agoThe Baltimore Orioles are saying that right-handed reliever Andrew Kittredge (knee) had "successful left-knee debridement" with Dr. Leigh Ann Curl in Baltimore on Friday. Kittredge is now expected to miss multiple months as he rehabs from knee surgery. It's a blow to the back end of Baltimore's bullpen to open the season, especially with their plan to ease closer Felix Bautista (elbow) back into ninth-inning duties after he missed all of the 2024 season due to Tommy John surgery. When he's back to full health, Kittredge figures to be a late-inning setup man for the O's. The eight-year veteran has a career 3.44 ERA (3.87 FIP) with a 1.21 WHIP, 16 saves, a 23.1% strikeout rate and 6.4% walk rate in 285 1/3 innings pitched. With Kittredge out for the foreseeable future, Seranthony Dominguez becomes the most likely option for occasional saves when Bautista is being rested.
