Out through April with UCL tear
Westburg will be sidelined at least through the end of April due to a partially torn UCL in his right elbow, Matt Weyrich of The Baltimore Sun reports.
Analiz
Westburg will not undergo surgery and will instead treat the injury with a platelet-rich plasma injection and rest. When he does return, he could do so as a designated hitter initially. Westburg entered Orioles camp with an oblique strain, but that injury should heal long before the elbow issue. While the infielder is shelved, the Orioles could turn to Coby Mayo or Blaze Alexander to cover third base. Alexander is also in the mix for reps at second base in place of the injured Jackson Holliday (hand).

Imaging on elbow
Westburg (oblique) recently underwent imaging on his elbow, Andy Kostka of The Baltimore Banner reports.
Analiz
Westburg came into camp with an oblique injury, but it seems his elbow is now the bigger concern. It's unclear what the results of the imaging showed, but Orioles manager Craig Albernaz said Thursday that Westburg was being evaluated by the team's medical staff and also people outside the organization. More clarity on the situation should come about after those evaluations.

Status remains unclear
Orioles manager Craig Albernaz said Thursday that Westburg (oblique) is "physically unable to participate right now" and is being evaluated by the Orioles' medical team, as well people not associated with the club, Jake Rill of MLB.com reports.
Analiz
Westburg entered camp with a right oblique strain, though Albernaz did not confirm Thursday that it's the oblique continuing to hold Westburg back or a different injury. When asked whether Westburg's injury is worse than initially feared, Albernaz said, "I just want to make sure that we're doing our due diligence and make sure Jordan is in the best chance to play this year." The Orioles could have more on Westburg's status soon after the infielder is evaluated.
