“We’re going to not push a strain there, and we
want to make sure that he gets it taken care of,” Hyde said.
“It’s one of those sensitive areas where we don’t want anything
to reoccur.”
An intercostal strain involves the muscles around the ribs.
Hyde's update to reporters Wednesday, after the Orioles beat
Minnesota in a spring training game, came six days after
Henderson exited a game because of lower right side discomfort.
Henderson left that Feb. 27 game after only one inning. He made
a jumping catch of a line drive in the field, then grounded out
when leading off for the Orioles in the bottom of the inning.
“He’s feeling a lot better, but we’re just going to obviously
slow-play it a little bit and make sure that he is 100%,” Hyde
said. “But he’s getting a lot better every single day.”
Henderson, who debuted with the Orioles in 2022 after being
drafted in the second round in 2019, has never been on the
injured list in the major leagues. He played in 150 games in
2023 and 159 games in 2024, when he set career highs with 31
doubles, 37 homers, 92 RBIs, 21 steals and an .893 OPS.
