Orioles' Prospect Dylan Bundy cleared to resume throwing

Baltimore Orioles pitching prospect Dylan Bundy will soon begin preparations to return to game action. MASN Sports.com's Roch Kubatko reports that Bundy received permission from team physicians to begin a throwing program on June 10. This was the same day that the Orioles projected for Bundy's return, which puts the right-hander right on schedule. Kubatko also shared the news with his followes in a mid-afternoon tweet. Bundy cleared to resume throwing progression by Dr. Andrews, which will start June 10 #orioles — Roch Kubatko (@masnRoch) June 3, 2013 When ready, Bundy will join the Orioles' Double-A Bowie Baysox of the Eastern League. Bundy has not pitched in the regular season due to a strained right elbow he suffered during Spring Training. He received pain injections but has not performed baseball activities since then. He has 1.2 innings of Major League experience (in 2012) and has not allowed a run. With three Minor League teams last year, Bundy combined for a 9-3 record and 2.08 ERA in 23 starts. He struck out 119 hitters in 103.2 innings. The Orioles are in second place in the American League East, 2.5 games out, as play begins on June 3. They have a team ERA of 4.50, but they are scoring enough runs to overcome the high number of runs allowed. They may need some pitching help -- whether from Bundy or elsewhere -- to overcome the Boston Red Sox and fight off the New York Yankees and Tampa Bay Rays as the season progresses.
