Dillon Tate Looking Healthy Ahead Of Spring Training
10 months agoBaltimore Orioles manager Brandon Hyde said he saw right-hander Dillon Tate (forearm) in Sarasota, Florida, a few days ago and said Tate looks "unbelievable" and healthy. The skipper is hoping that Tate will be a contributor again in 2024 after a forearm injury kept him out for the entire 2023 season. Barring a setback, the 29-year-old should be ready for the start of the upcoming season, but he'll surely be on an innings limit after missing all of last year due to injury. Tate, the former fourth overall pick by the Texas Rangers in 2015 out of the UC Santa Barbara, should operate in a setup role in Baltimore's bullpen this year. In his fourth year with the O's in 2022, Tate had a career-low 3.05 ERA (3.48 FIP) and 0.99 WHIP with a career-high five saves, 16 walks and a career-high 60 strikeouts in 73 2/3 relief innings.
