Orioles: Koji hurt again (updated)

Koji Uehara just walked off the mound two pitches into Jose Bautista's at-bat in the fifth inning. He seemed to be favoring his left leg, but we'll have to wait for a report. Can't remember the last time the entire battery went out with injuries in the space of two batters. We're waiting for reports on both Uehara and Craig Tatum.

Probably won't know more for awhile, but the Uehara situation does not look good. He seemed to be favoring his left side, and the Japanese reporters were speculating that he injured his hip or his lower back.

If so, that would be the third trouble spot for Uehara, who struggled with chronic hamstring issues last year and eventually was shut down with a sore elbow.

Instant update: The Orioles just announced that Koji suffered a strained left hamstring and Tatum suffered a bruised left hand. That is the same hamstring that has been an issue at several junctures in his career.
