Shane Baz Shane Baz Struck by comebacker
Tue, Sep 15, 2026, 7:47 PM
Baz was removed from Tuesday's game against the Mets after getting hit on the elbow by a comebacker, Matt Weyrich of The Baltimore Sun reports.
Analysis: Baz took a 105-mph line drive off his right elbow in the fifth inning, and after his warm-up pitch sailed over the head of the catcher, the Orioles made the call to take him out of the game. He'll presumably undergo imaging to determine whether he suffered a fracture, and the team may provide an update on his status in the near future. |

Samuel Basallo Samuel Basallo Out of lineup again Tuesday
Tue, Sep 15, 2026, 3:23 PM
Basallo (shoulder) is not in the lineup for Tuesday's contest against the Mets.
Analysis: It's the second straight day that Basallo has been out of the Orioles' lineup, and he has started only five of the past 12 contests. Basallo missed almost a month of action at the beginning of the second half with right shoulder inflammation, and manager Craig Albernaz noted Monday that Basallo's shoulder is still giving him issues, per Andy Kostka of TheBanner.com. The Orioles could eventually opt to shut Basallo down, but Albernaz has indicated that that's not under consideration just yet. Yohel Pozo is doing the catching for Baltimore on Tuesday. |

Mon, Sep 14, 2026, 10:31 PM
Wolfram allowed one hit and no walks in a scoreless eighth inning for a hold Monday against the Mets. He struck out one.

He gave up multiple runs in three consecutive outings to begin the month of August, but Wolfram has since yielded just two runs in his last 12 appearances. He has a 4.66 ERA, 1.28 WHIP and 56:14 K:BB with 13 holds over 48.1 innings (56 outings). |

Trevor Rogers Trevor Rogers Gives up three-straight homers in loss
Sun, Sep 13, 2026, 5:18 PM
Rogers (10-10) took the loss against the Blue Jays on Sunday, allowing four runs on seven hits and one walk while striking out five across six innings.
Analysis: Rogers limited the Blue Jays to one run through four innings, but the 28-year-old southpaw's outing took a turn for the worst in the fifth, when he gave up consecutive homers to George Springer, Vladimir Guerrero and Kazuma Okamoto. It was the first time Rogers gave up three home runs in a start since Sept. 26, 2025 against the Yankees. He'll take a 4.22 ERA and 1.22 WHIP over 157.2 innings into his next start, tentatively slated for next weekend at home against the Brewers. |

Yaramil Hiraldo Yaramil Hiraldo Recalled by Baltimore
Sun, Sep 13, 2026, 1:00 PM
The Orioles recalled Hiraldo from Triple-A Norfolk on Sunday.
Analysis: The move corresponds with the Orioles placing right-hander Kyle Bradish (abdomen) on the 15-day injured list. Hiraldo has appeared in seven major-league games this season with a 5.87 ERA, 1.70 WHIP and 13:6 K:BB over 7.2 frames. He gives the Orioles some additional right-handed depth out of the bullpen. |

Kyle Bradish Kyle Bradish Out with abdominal issue
Sun, Sep 13, 2026, 11:26 AM
The Orioles placed Bradish on the 15-day injured list Sunday due to lower-abdominal discomfort.
Analysis: The right-hander surrendered five runs across three innings Saturday in Toronto and has a 6.95 ERA across his past five starts, spoiling what had been a mostly effective first half of the year. Bradish will be sidelined for the rest of the regular season but will be eligible to be reinstated for the start of the playoffs. The Orioles are just three games back of the final wild-card spot, but he may not be available even if Baltimore does manage to make the postseason. |

Pete Alonso Pete Alonso Launches 35th homer
Sat, Sep 12, 2026, 7:42 PM
Alonso went 1-for-3 with two walks and a two-run home run in Saturday's 7-3 loss to the Blue Jays.
Analysis: The slugging first baseman took Paul Sewald deep in the seventh inning, but the Orioles were already staring at a 6-1 hole at that point. Alonso has reached the 35-homer mark for the sixth time in his career, and he's closing in on a couple milestones -- he needs one more RBI to record his fifth season with 100 or more, and his next long ball will be the 300th of his career. Over his past 25 games, Alonso is batting .269 (25-for-93) with eight homers and 19 RBI as Baltimore tries to stay in the wild-card picture. |

Kyle Bradish Kyle Bradish Chased early by Jays
Sat, Sep 12, 2026, 7:38 PM
Bradish (7-14) took the loss Saturday, surrendering five runs on eight hits and two walks over three innings as the Orioles fell 7-3 to the Blue Jays. He struck out two.
Analysis: Home runs by Brett Bateman and Alejandro Kirk in the third inning helped chase Bradish from the mound after just 56 pitches (37 strikes). It's the fifth time in his last nine starts that the right-hander has failed to complete five innings, and over that winless stretch he's stumbled to a 5.83 ERA, 1.82 WHIP 32:19 K:BB in 41.2 innings while going 0-5. Bradish will try to rebound in his next outing, which lines up to come at home next weekend against the Brewers. |

Sat, Sep 12, 2026, 6:07 PM
The Orioles signed Suarez to a minor-league contract Saturday, Andy Kostka of TheBanner.com reports.
Analysis: Suarez elected free agency earlier in the week after being DFA'd three days earlier. The 36-year-old has been doing this same old song and dance with signings and DFAs all season. Suarez owns a 4.12 ERA, 1.25 WHIP and 41:20 K:BB across 59 innings of relief with Baltimore this season. |

Fri, Sep 11, 2026, 10:37 PM
Mayo went 1-for-5 with a solo home run during Friday's 7-4 win against Toronto.
Analysis: Mayo's solo homer off Braydon Fisher in the seventh inning put the Orioles up 7-2. Mayo has four home runs in as many games and is up to 23 long balls on the year, which is second-most on the Orioles behind Pete Alonso (34 homers). Mayo has a .757 OPS with three steals and 60 RBI over 398 plate appearances this season. |

Dylan Beavers Dylan Beavers Sets tone with leadoff homer
Fri, Sep 11, 2026, 10:30 PM
Beavers went 2-for-5 with a solo home run and a two-run single during Baltimore's 7-4 win over Toronto on Friday.
Analysis: Beavers wasted no time in getting the Orioles on the board, taking the second pitch he saw from Max Scherzer deep to right field for a 375-foot solo homer in the first inning. Beavers capped off Baltimore's five-run second inning with a two-run single, with the 25-year-old outfielder logging three RBI in back-to-back games and three times this season. He has a .712 OPS with five steals, seven home runs and 39 RBI over 309 plate appearances this season. |

Chris Bassitt Chris Bassitt Earns win in return to Toronto
Fri, Sep 11, 2026, 10:27 PM
Bassitt (7-5) earned the win against the Blue Jays on Friday, allowing two runs on six hits and three walks while striking out five across five innings.
Analysis: Friday was Bassitt's first start at Rogers Centre as a member of the Orioles, with the veteran right-hander having called Toronto his home from 2023 to 2025. He kept the Blue Jays off the board until a Kazuma Okamoto solo homer in the fourth, and Bassitt was tagged for another run after one of the two baserunners he allowed in the sixth came home. Bassitt has won three of his last four starts and allowed three runs or less in five of his six outings since being reinstated from the 15-day injured list Aug. 14. He'll take a 4.88 ERA and 1.59 WHIP over 90.1 innings into his next start, which is lined up for next week on the road against the Mets. |

Ryan Helsley Ryan Helsley Slated for rehab assignment
Fri, Sep 11, 2026, 9:29 PM
Helsley (elbow) is scheduled to begin a rehab assignment with Triple-A Norfolk on Saturday, Matt Betts of MLB.com reports.
Analysis: Helsley has been on the 15-day injured list since late June with right elbow discomfort, and the right-hander threw 24 pitches in live batting practice Tuesday. The rehab outing will be his first game action in over two months, so he'll likely need to get a few appearances under his belt before becoming an option to rejoin the Orioles. A return before the end of the season remains in the cards, though. |

Fri, Sep 11, 2026, 5:01 PM
Noda was placed on Triple-A Norfolk's 7-day concussion injured list Friday, Roch Kubatko of MASN reports.
Analysis: There's a chance that Noda clears the league's concussion protocol and gets back on the field during Norfolk's final series of the regular season against Charlotte. He has spent the entire 2026 season in Triple-A, where he is slashing .229/.370/.398 with five steals, 11 home runs and 27 RBI over 346 plate appearances. |
