Kyle Bradish Kyle Bradish Solid in losing effort
Sun, Jul 5, 2026, 3:12 PM
Bradish (5-9) took the loss Sunday against the Reds, allowing three runs on five hits and a walk over 7.2 innings. He struck out five.
Analysis: Bradish pitched well Sunday, as he held the Reds to two runs on Spencer Steer's fifth-inning homer before giving up another run on a two-out hit in the eighth. However, Baltimore failed to provide Bradish with enough run support in an eventual 3-2 defeat. The right-hander has now dropped back-to-back starts, though he's given up just seven earned runs across 27.1 innings in his last four outings. Overall, Bradish's ERA sits at 3.75 with a 1.40 WHIP and 101:48 K:BB across 18 starts (100.2 innings) this season. He's tentatively in line to face the Royals at home his next time out. |

Samuel Basallo Samuel Basallo On bench Sunday
Sun, Jul 5, 2026, 10:37 AM
Basallo is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Reds, Jake Rill of MLB.com reports.
Analysis: Basallo hasn't started against a lefty since June 3, though including Sunday, Baltimore has faced just five southpaw starters during that stretch. The rookie catcher has a .258/.329/.485 slash line with five homers, 15 RBI and six runs in his past 19 contests. Coby Mayo is batting fifth as the designated hitter in Sunday's series finale versus Nick Lodolo. |

Colton Cowser Colton Cowser On bench versus lefty
Sun, Jul 5, 2026, 10:33 AM
Cowser is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Reds.
Analysis: Along with fellow left-handed hitters Samuel Basallo, Jackson Holliday and Dylan Beavers, Cowser will take a seat for the series finale against Nick Lodolo. Leody Taveras will replace Cowser in center field and bat seventh. |

Jackson Holliday Jackson Holliday Idle against southpaw
Sun, Jul 5, 2026, 10:32 AM
Holliday is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Reds.
Analysis: Along with fellow left-handed hitters Samuel Basallo, Colton Cowser and Dylan Beavers, Holliday will take a seat for the series finale against Nick Lodolo. Jeremiah Jackson will replace Holliday at second base and bat eighth. |

Dylan Beavers Dylan Beavers Heading to bench versus lefty
Sun, Jul 5, 2026, 10:30 AM
Beavers is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Reds, Jacob Calvin Meyer of The Baltimore Sun reports.
Analysis: Beavers will hit the bench along with three other left-handed hitters (Colton Cowser, Samuel Basallo and Jackson Holliday) while the Orioles stock up on right-handed bats against Nick Lodolo. Since coming off the injured list June 28, Beavers has appeared in four games and has gone just 1-for-14 with a double, a walk, an RBI and a run. Now holding down an underwhelming .222/.308/.342 slash line on the season, Beavers could be in danger of ceding starts to the likes of Leody Taveras or Tyler O'Neill if he's unable to improve on his production. |

Sun, Jul 5, 2026, 7:01 AM
Basallo went 1-for-4 with a three-run home run and a walk in Saturday's 8-5 win over the Reds.
Analysis: Basallo opened the scoring with a three-run blast off Hunter Greene. It was the 21-year-old's second straight game with a homer, and he's now gone deep four times over his past nine contests. While he still tends to sit against lefties, Basallo is slashing .257/.322/.470 with 14 homers, 42 RBI and 31 runs scored across 276 plate appearances in what has been a strong rookie campaign. |

Analysis: Alonso reached base in all five of his plate appearances, capped by an RBI single in the eighth inning and a double in the ninth. It marked the second three-hit effort for the first baseman over his past nine games, a stretch in which he's tallied four extra-base hits and seven RBI. On the season, he's slashing .254/.347/.472 with 19 homers, 60 RBI, 54 runs scored and two steals across 389 plate appearances. |

Tyler Wells Tyler Wells Collects second save
Sun, Jul 5, 2026, 6:50 AM
Wells earned the save in Saturday's 8-5 win over the Reds, allowing one hit and one walk in a scoreless ninth inning. He did not record a strikeout.
Analysis: With Ryan Helsley (elbow) back on the injured list, Wells has gotten the call for two straight save chances and delivered on both. He owns a 3.02 ERA, 1.06 WHIP and 43:10 K:BB across 41.2 innings this season and appears to be the early favorite to replace Helsley in the ninth inning as long as he continues to pitch well. |

Brandon Young Brandon Young Settles in for win
Sun, Jul 5, 2026, 6:45 AM
Young (7-2) earned the win against the Reds on Saturday, allowing four runs on eight hits and three walks with five strikeouts over five innings.
Analysis: Young allowed four runs through the first two innings but finished with three scoreless frames and benefited from an eight-run outburst from the Orioles. While he was able to log at least five frames for the eighth straight outing, Saturday marked just the second time in 14 contests this season the 27-year-old yielded more than three earned runs. He owns a 3.38 ERA, 1.36 WHIP and 62:30 K:BB across 77.1 innings overall and will take on the Royals at home in his final start before the All-Star break. |

Sat, Jul 4, 2026, 1:15 PM
Keegan cleared outright waivers and was assigned by the Orioles to Double-A Chesapeake on Saturday, Roch Kubatko of MASNSports.com reports.

Rico Garcia Rico Garcia Records 12th hold
Fri, Jul 3, 2026, 9:59 PM
Garcia picked up a hold Friday against the Reds, allowing one hit and one walk in two scoreless innings. He struck out two.
Analysis: With Ryan Helsley (elbow) hitting the injured list again Friday, the Orioles deployed Garcia ahead of Yennier Cano and Tyler Wells in a three-run game. Garcia served as Baltimore's primary closer when Helsley was sidelined earlier this year, so the division of labor among the club's high-leverage mix will remain worth monitoring going forward. Through 37.2 innings, the journeyman right-hander sports a 2.39 ERA, 0.85 WHIP and 41:12 K:BB to go with 12 holds and four saves (five opportunities). |

Tyler Wells Tyler Wells Logs first save of 2026
Fri, Jul 3, 2026, 9:01 PM
Wells earned the save in Friday's 3-0 win over the Reds after striking out one batter in a scoreless ninth inning.
Analysis: The Orioles are looking for a substitute at closer after Ryan Helsley was placed on the 15-day injured due to right elbow discomfort. Rico Garcia and Yennier Cano were both deployed earlier in Friday's contest, so Wells was brought out for the ninth inning for his first save chance of the season. Wells answered the call, needing just 10 pitches (seven strikes) to wrap up the win for Baltimore. It was his first save since the 2023 season, and given his low pitch count, Wells could be called upon for another save opportunity during the weekend series in Cincinnati. |

Samuel Basallo Samuel Basallo Cracks two-run homer in win
Fri, Jul 3, 2026, 8:54 PM
Basallo went 1-for-3 with a walk and a two-run home run in Friday's 3-0 win over the Reds.
Analysis: Friday's series opener was a low-scoring affair, so Basallo's two-run shot off Brady Singer in the fifth inning was a crucial one for the Orioles, who entered the game having lost four straight. It was the 13th home run of the season for Basallo, which is tied with Carter Jansen for fourth-most among rookies this season. Basallo has gone 13-for-51 (.255) with three home runs and 10 RBI over his last 15 games. |

Trevor Rogers Trevor Rogers Tosses five scoreless frames in win
Fri, Jul 3, 2026, 8:50 PM
Rogers (6-7) earned the win against the Reds on Friday, allowing two hits and five walks while striking out four across five scoreless innings.
Analysis: It wasn't exactly smooth sailing for Rogers, who allowed at least two baserunners in three of five innings while issuing a season-high five walks. However, the veteran southpaw did just enough to keep the Reds off the board, and the Orioles' bullpen carried that momentum over the final four innings for the four-hit shutout. It was the second scoreless outing of the season for Rogers, two of which have come over his last three outings, and he has allowed two earned runs or less in five of his last six starts. He'll take a 4.70 ERA, 1.32 WHIP and 65:29 K:BB across 84.1 innings into his next start, which is slated for next week at home against the Cubs. |

Fri, Jul 3, 2026, 3:19 PM

Anthony Nunez Anthony Nunez Rejoins Baltimore bullpen
Fri, Jul 3, 2026, 3:16 PM
The Orioles recalled Nunez from Triple-A Norfolk on Friday.
Analysis: With Ryan Helsley (elbow) back on the 15-day injured list, Nunez will rejoin the Baltimore bullpen after posting a 4.98 ERA, 1.28 WHIP and 38:14 K:BB across 34.1 innings spanning 32 appearances this season prior to being sent down 17 days ago. |

Jeremiah Jackson Jeremiah Jackson Back with big club
Fri, Jul 3, 2026, 3:13 PM
The Orioles recalled Jackson from Triple-A Norfolk on Friday.
Analysis: Jackson is back in the big leagues after spending five days at Triple-A. He has slashed .251/.267/.397 with seven homers, 32 RBI, 23 runs scored, two stolen bases and a 4:40 BB:K across 206 plate appearances with the Orioles this season. Jackson will fill a depth role in the infield for Baltimore now that Jackson Holliday is healthy. |

Ryan Helsley Ryan Helsley Sent to IL with elbow discomfort
Fri, Jul 3, 2026, 3:10 PM
The Orioles placed Helsley on the 15-day injured list Friday with right elbow discomfort.
Analysis: Helsey felt discomfort in his elbow while warming up in the bullpen Wednesday, and he'll now miss at least the next couple weeks. The right-hander missed seven weeks with elbow inflammation earlier this season and just returned from the injured list two weeks ago. Rico Garcia figures to be next in line for saves for Baltimore. |

Tyler O'Neill Tyler O'Neill Pops rare homer Wednesday
Wed, Jul 1, 2026, 10:03 PM
O'Neill went 1-for-2 with a solo home run and a walk in Wednesday's 6-1 win over the White Sox.
Analysis: The veteran outfielder launched his first homer Wednesday since May 16 in Washington. With Dylan Beavers recently returning from the injured list, O'Neill is likely to remain stuck in a part-time role in the outfield going forward. O'Neill is slugging a career-low .295 this season, also batting a paltry .187 with three homers, six doubles and nine RBI over 159 plate appearances. |
