Baltimore Orioles closer Felix Bautista has been absent from major league competition since July 20 of the previous season. This extended period of inactivity is the direct result of a shoulder injury that has kept the pitcher off the mound. The athlete's last appearance in the MLB occurred on that date, marking the beginning of his recovery process. The team continues to manage the status of their key closer as he deals with this specific physical setback.
