Zach Eflin Injury: Exits game with back tightness

Eflin was removed from Saturday's game against the Rays due to lower-back tightness, Jake Rill of MLB.com reports.

Eflin was rocked for four runs on 28 pitches (18 strikes) in the first inning, and his back issue may have contributed to his poor outing. He'll go to the clubhouse to undergo further testing, and the Orioles should provide an update on the veteran right-hander in the near future. Scott Blewett took the mound for Baltimore at the top of the second frame.
