Samuel Basallo Samuel Basallo Big day in Friday's win
Sat, Apr 25, 2026, 9:09 AM
Basallo went 4-for-5 with a double and a solo home run in Friday's 10-3 win over the Red Sox.
Analysis: The 21-year-old slugger drove a Brayan Bello cutter into the right-center field seats in the third inning, one of six Baltimore homers on the night. Basallo has three multi-hit performances in the last eight games as he puts his early-season struggles behind him, batting .360 (9-for-25) over that stretch with two homers, four RBI and more walks (four) than strikeouts (three). |

Adley Rutschman Adley Rutschman Goes yard twice in big win
Sat, Apr 25, 2026, 9:05 AM
Rutschman went 3-for-5 with two home runs and six RBI in Friday's 10-3 win over the Red Sox.
Analysis: The switch-hitting catcher took Brayan Bello deep in the first and fourth innings as part of a 20-hit, six-homer barrage from Baltimore's bats. Rutschman has been locked in since returning from a brief IL stint due to an ankle issue, racking up five hits, three homers and eight RBI in two games -- a surge that has pushed his slash line on the season to .349/.417/.698 through 48 plate appearances. |

Brandon Young Brandon Young Carried to win by offense
Sat, Apr 25, 2026, 9:01 AM
Young (2-0) picked up the win Friday in a 10-3 rout of the Red Sox, giving up three runs on seven hits and a walk over 5.2 innings. He struck out five.
Analysis: Called up Thursday to fill in for Dean Kremer (quadricep) in the rotation, Young tossed 65 of 93 pitches for strikes in a solid effort that was backed by a 20-hit, six-homer barrage from Baltimore's bats. The right-hander has gotten the job done in two spot starts this season, but he should get a longer runway this time with Kremer not expected back until at least mid-May. Young will take a 2.53 ERA, 1.13 WHIP and 7:3 K:BB through 10.2 innings into his next outing, which is scheduled to come at home next week against the Astros. |

Sat, Apr 25, 2026, 8:23 AM
The Orioles optioned Foster to Triple-A Norfolk on Saturday.
Analysis: Since coming up from the minors April 16, Foster has appeared in four games and given up four earned runs on nine hits and five walks, striking out seven batters over 5.2 frames. Keegan Akin's (groin) return from the injured list Saturday will push Foster back to Norfolk, where the latter has also struggled to the tune of a 10.50 ERA through six innings. |

Keegan Akin Keegan Akin Back from IL
Sat, Apr 25, 2026, 8:20 AM
The Orioles reinstated Akin (groin) from the injured list Saturday.
Analysis: Akin has been sidelined since the beginning of the season due to an adductor strain. He's been playing in rehab games at Triple-A Norfolk since April 15, however, and he's allowed one earned run on three hits and a walk while striking out five batters over four innings. The lefty will now return to claim a middle-relief role in Baltimore's bullpen, pushing Cameron Foster back to Triple-A. |

Fri, Apr 24, 2026, 11:28 PM
Kremer (quadriceps) is expected to miss several weeks, Roch Kubatko of MASNSports.com reports.
Analysis: The Orioles put Kremer on the 15-day injured list Thursday due to a right quadriceps strain, and the team is preparing to be without him for more than just the minimum stay. The right-hander could be able to rejoin Baltimore's rotation at some point in the middle of May. Meanwhile, Brandon Young is taking Kremer's place in Baltimore's rotation for the time being. |

Gunnar Henderson Gunnar Henderson Goes yard in three-hit effort
Fri, Apr 24, 2026, 11:11 PM
Henderson went 3-for-5 with a solo home run and two additional runs scored during the Orioles' 10-3 win over the Red Sox on Friday.
Analysis: Henderson opened the scoring with a first-inning shot off Red Sox right-hander Brayan Bello on Friday, which was one of three long balls for the Orioles in the frame. It was also the star shortstop's second three-hit game of the year and his first since April 3. For the year, Henderson is batting just .207 but does have 13 extra-base hits, 16 RBI, 18 runs scored and four stolen bases over 111 at-bats. |

Keegan Akin Keegan Akin Closing in on return
Fri, Apr 24, 2026, 10:50 PM
Akin (groin) is expected to return to the Orioles soon, Jake Rill of MLB.com reports.
Analysis: Akin, who's recovering from a left groin strain, has allowed one run on three hits and one walk in four innings over four rehab appearances for Triple-A Norfolk. Barring any setbacks, the southpaw should be able to rejoin Baltimore's bullpen at some point in late April. |

Dietrich Enns Dietrich Enns Scoreless outing in rehab game
Fri, Apr 24, 2026, 10:43 PM
Enns (foot) threw a clean inning in a rehab outing for Triple-A Norfolk on Friday.
Analysis: Enns has made three appearances during his rehab assignment, giving up two runs on two hits and two walks in 3.1 innings while posting a 4:0 K:BB. The left-hander has been on the injured list since early April due to a left foot infection, but it appears a return to the Orioles before the end of the month is in the cards if all continues to go well in the minors. |

Jackson Holliday Jackson Holliday Imaging returns clean
Fri, Apr 24, 2026, 2:55 PM
Holliday (wrist) said Friday that he underwent an MRI, CT scan and X-rays that came back clean and will be shut down from baseball activities for about a week, Roch Kubatko of MASNSports.com reports.
Analysis: It's encouraging news for the 22-year-old second baseman after he exited Tuesday's rehab game with Triple-A Norfolk due to right hand discomfort, which is the same hand in which he underwent surgery for a fractured hamate bone in February. The shutdown period and subsequent rehab assignment will likely extend Holliday's absence at least another few weeks, but he at least seems to have avoided a serious setback. |

The Orioles activated Kittredge (shoulder) from the 15-day injured list Friday.
Analysis: Kittredge was diagnosed with right shoulder inflammation in early March and has yet to make his 2026 season debut. He pitched in six games on a rehab assignment with Triple-A Norfolk, registering an ugly 15.19 ERA, 2.81 WHIP and 8:1 K:BB across 5.1 innings. Kittredge figures to work in a setup role for Baltimore. |

Fri, Apr 24, 2026, 1:58 PM
The Orioles activated O'Neill (concussion) from the 7-day injured list Friday.

Prior to his time on the injured list, O'Neill slashed .241/.353/.345 with one home run, four RBI, six runs scored and a 3:6 BB:K across 34 plate appearances. Dylan Beavers and Leody Taveras have been seeing more playing time with O'Neill idle. |

Wed, Apr 22, 2026, 10:47 PM
Alonso went 1-for-4 with a two-run home run, a walk and an additional run scored Wednesday in the Orioles' 8-6 win over the Royals.
Analysis: Alonso belted just his third long ball of the season Wednesday. The All-Star first baseman has struggled to get it going at the plate to begin his Orioles career, but he's slowly beginning to pick things up recently. Over his last 49 plate appearances (11 games), Alonso is slashing .275/.408/.525 with two big flies, four doubles and seven RBI to increase his OPS for the campaign to .699. |

Anthony Nunez Anthony Nunez Nets first save
Wed, Apr 22, 2026, 5:16 PM
Nunez earned the save in Wednesday's 8-6 win over the Royals, striking out two in a scoreless ninth inning.
Analysis: With Ryan Helsley landing on the bereavement list ahead of Wednesday's game, it was Nunez who got the call with Baltimore up by two in the ninth inning. The right-hander made quick work of the Royals, striking out a pair en route to his first major-league save. The 24-year-old Nunez has gotten off to an excellent start in his rookie campaign, earning a high-leverage role in Baltimore's bullpen. His ERA is down to 1.46 with a 0.65 WHIP and 15:2 K:BB across 12.1 innings. |

Chris Bassitt Chris Bassitt Grabs first win
Wed, Apr 22, 2026, 5:05 PM
Bassitt (1-2) picked up the win Wednesday over the Royals, allowing five runs on eight hits and two walks over 5.1 innings. He struck out three.
Analysis: It wasn't Bassitt's best outing, but the right-hander did snag his first win with the Orioles, as Baltimore rallied for six runs in the sixth inning en route to an 8-6 victory. Through five starts this year, Bassitt sports a subpar 6.75 ERA with a 2.06 WHIP and 10:13 K:BB. He's currently slated to face the Astros at home in his next outing. |

Jose Espada Jose Espada Receives call-up
Wed, Apr 22, 2026, 12:33 PM
The Orioles recalled Espada from Triple-A Norfolk on Wednesday.
Analysis: Espada will provide reinforcement to an Orioles bullpen that will be without closer Ryan Helsley (personal), who was placed on the bereavement list Wednesday in a corresponding move. Though he's unlikely to enter the mix for save chances while Helsley is away from the team, Espada will provide the Orioles with a fresh arm in middle relief. Espada has posted a 5.40 ERA, 1.80 WHIP and 7:9 K:BB in 10 innings with Norfolk this season. |
