Orioles' Brenan Hanifee: Starts throwing again
Rotowire
Hanifee (elbow) resumed throwing off flat ground in January during the Orioles' minor-league minicamp, Roch Kubatko of MASNSports.com reports.
Hanifee is rehabbing from the Tommy John surgery he underwent May 26, 2021, so even though he's throwing again, he's still unlikely to make his 2022 debut until around mid-season at the earliest. The 23-year-old right-hander posted a 4.60 ERA, 1.42 WHIP and 78:57 K:BB in 129 innings in his last professional season in 2019 at the High-A level.

Hanifee underwent successful Tommy John surgery Wednesday, Rich Dubroff of BaltimoreBaseball.com reports.
Hanifee had been on the 7-day minor-league injured list since mid-May, and he'll miss the remainder of the season following his surgery. The right-hander didn't make any appearances to begin the year, and he could miss the start of the 2022 campaign while he recovers.
