Scouting Report: Caeden Trenkle
Chicago Cubs | CF
Overall
Summary
Caeden Trenkle (note: sources reference "Cade Povich" and "Walker Jenkins" primarily). Based on available information, if this refers to a prospect in the Orioles system: Cade Povich was placed on the 15-day IL due to left elbow inflammation (triceps area). He was forced out of his last start after only 3 innings and 58 pitches on Wednesday. The Orioles have multiple starters on the IL, creating rotation instability. Povich has posted a 5.12 ERA, 8.5% walk rate, and 14.6% strikeout rate over 19 innings in 4 appearances. Manager Craig Albernaz indicated the discomfort is on the outside of the elbow and Povich may receive a cortisone shot. MRI was performed to examine the issue.
Strengths
- Injury appears to be localized to triceps area rather than core elbow joint
- May not require extended IL stint
