Povich suffered the injury in their loss against the Miami Marlins in the final game of their series, and he was removed from the game after three innings because of left forearm discomfort.
Manager Craig Albernaz offered an update on Povich after the game.
"He had some tricep lateral elbow tightness" Albernaz said. "We're going to get an MRI on him tomorrow. He said he felt it in the second, and then it really tightened up on him in the third. It's on the outside of his elbow, so we'll get some imaging and kind of see where we're at."
This isn't the best news for the Orioles, as they're already dealing with injuries to some of their bullpen.

Trevor Rogers is currently dealing with an illness, while Zach Eflin is out for the rest of the season after undergoing Tommy John surgery. Dean Kremer is on the injured list with a right quad strain, and that makes it eight pitchers on the injured list for the Orioles.
The Orioles will have to rely more on Yennier Cano , who came in for Povich when he was removed from the game.
"The 'pen did an outstanding job. Canó was awesome coming in the pinch and eating up two innings. Same thing with [Dietrich] Enns, [Keegan] Akin getting out of the [eighth] inning, and [Andrew] Kittredge looked good too," Albernaz said.
