  "account": "Baltimore Orioles have sidelined versatile player Blaze Alexander on the 10-day injured list following lower back spasms during a game against the Cleveland Guardians. The team's hope lies in the quick recovery of shortstop Gunnar Henderson, who suffered a knee injury during the same match that left him out of the starting lineup. Henderson's injury occurred when he fouled a pitch from Hunter Gaddis off his left knee while running to second base. The Orioles are banking on Henderson's recovery as they sit with a losing streak of seven games and a race for the AL wild card. Alexander, who has played multiple infield positions and outfield spots in his first season with Baltimore despite missing time due to a fractured hand, has been batting .303 with four home runs and 31 RBIs in 93 games.",
