Gunnar Henderson hasn’t played in a Grapefruit League game since Feb. 27, when the Orioles’ star shortstop sustained a mild right intercostal strain. The 23-year-old has slowly returned to baseball activities over the past week.

Gunnar Henderson is hoping he’ll be healthy for the start of the Orioles’ season. “I’m going out there to try to do whatever I can to make it to opening day,” the shortstop said.

Shortstop Gunnar Henderson said he believes he can return from injury in time to take the field with the Baltimore Orioles on Opening Day.
