Brandon Young Brandon Young Blanks Seattle in win
Wed, Jun 10, 2026, 8:38 PM
Young (5-1) earned the win Wednesday over the Mariners, allowing two hits and two walks over seven scoreless innings. He struck out five.
Analysis: It was another excellent outing for Young, who's now logged four straight quality starts -- he's posted a 2.08 ERA across 30.3 innings in that span. The 27-year-old Young's lowered his ERA to 3.04 through 10 starts (56.1 innings) this season with a 1.13 WHIP and 33:14 K: BB. He'll look to keep rolling in his next outing, tentatively scheduled as a rematch with the Mariners in Seattle next week. |

Ryan Helsley Ryan Helsley Beginning assignment Thursday
Wed, Jun 10, 2026, 6:15 PM
Helsley (elbow) will begin a rehab assignment at Triple-A Norfolk on Thursday, Cordell Woodland of 105.7 The Fan Baltimore reports.
Analysis: Helsley was cleared to throw live batting practice Monday, and after getting through it without any problems, he's now set to test his elbow in a game setting. The 31-year-old closer has been on the shelf since the beginning of May and will likely require multiple tune-up outings before coming off the IL. |

Chadwick Tromp Chadwick Tromp Latches on with O's
Wed, Jun 10, 2026, 5:11 PM
Tromp signed a minor-league contract with the Orioles on Wednesday, Jacob Calvin Meyer of The Baltimore Sun reports.
Analysis: Tromp elected free agency Saturday after being DFA'd by Atlanta and will now return to the Orioles, with whom he spent a brief period of time last season. The 31-year-old backstop owns just a .578 OPS through 87 plate appearances at Triple-A this year, though he could be called up to the majors soon with Adley Rutschman (hamstring) and Samuel Basallo (wrist) both battling injuries. |

Blaze Alexander Blaze Alexander Playing time picking up
Wed, Jun 10, 2026, 3:22 PM
Alexander will start at third base and bat eighth in Wednesday's game against the Mariners.
Analysis: Since going hitless in six at-bats during a doubleheader with the Tigers on May 24, Alexander has caught fire at the plate, slashing .444/.500/.722 with two home runs, one stolen base, 12 RBI and seven runs over a stretch of 12 contests. Alexander doesn't have a regular home at any one position, but his ability to play all over the infield and outfield should afford him fairly stable playing time so long as he's wielding a hot bat. He'll be making his fourth start in five games Wednesday, this time filling in at the hot corner for a resting Coby Mayo. |

Coby Mayo Coby Mayo Getting break Wednesday
Wed, Jun 10, 2026, 2:43 PM
Mayo is not in the lineup for Wednesday's game versus the Mariners.
Analysis: Mayo started the first two games of the series and homered in Tuesday's contest, but he'll begin Wednesday's game on the bench. Blaze Alexander will occupy the hot corner and bat eighth for the Orioles. |

Samuel Basallo Samuel Basallo Absent from Baltimore lineup
Wed, Jun 10, 2026, 2:40 PM
Basallo (wrist) remains out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Mariners.
Analysis: Basallo pinch hit each of the last two days, but he will be out of the starting nine for a third straight day as he deals with discomfort in his left wrist brought about by a bony growth. Adley Rutschman (hamstring) is also out again Wednesday, leaving catching duties to Sam Huff and the designated hitter role to Tyler O'Neill. |

Adley Rutschman Adley Rutschman Remains out of lineup
Wed, Jun 10, 2026, 2:37 PM
Rutschman (hamstring) remains out of the lineup for Wednesday's contest versus the Mariners.
Analysis: Rutschman will miss out on a third straight start while he deals with tightness in his left hamstring, but he felt well enough to test out the injury by doing some pregame running on the field before rain began to fall at Camden Yards, per Jake Rill of MLB.com. The Orioles are considering the 28-year-old day-to-day, but he'll need to improve in a hurry in order to avoid a trip to the injured list. Sam Huff will start at catcher for the Orioles on Wednesday. |

Back from injured list
Wed, Jun 10, 2026, 1:17 PM
Triple-A Norfolk reinstated Bradfield (hand) from the 7-day injured list Tuesday, Roch Kubatko of MASNSports.com reports.
Analysis: The 24-year-old landed on the injured list due to a left hand injury in late April, but he's back in action at Triple-A after a 10-game rehab assignment in the lower minors. Bradfield went 0-for-4 with a strikeout in his first game back with Norfolk on Tuesday and has a .658 OPS through 61 plate appearances at Triple-A this year. |

Coby Mayo Coby Mayo Keeps slugging Tuesday
Wed, Jun 10, 2026, 8:17 AM
Mayo went 1-for-5 with a solo home run and a second run scored in Tuesday's 6-5 extra-inning loss to the Mariners.
Analysis: The 24-year-old came up clutch, taking Jose Ferrer deep in the ninth inning to help the Orioles erase a 4-2 deficit, only for the M's to re-take the lead for good in the top of the 10th. Mayo hasn't had multiple hits in a game since May 24, but four of his nine homers on the season have come in his last 10 games, a stretch in which he's slashing a lopsided .189/.231/.541 with a 38.5 percent strikeout rate. Mayo's power is legit, but until he learns to make more consistent contact he'll be tough to rely on in most fantasy formats. |

Trevor Rogers Trevor Rogers No-decision against M's
Wed, Jun 10, 2026, 8:13 AM
Rogers didn't factor into the decision in Tuesday's 6-5 extra-inning loss to the Mariners, giving up three runs on six hits and a walk over 5.2 innings. He struck out three.
Analysis: The southpaw pounded the strike zone and got lifted after 97 pitches (71 strikes) with two on and two outs in the sixth inning, coming up just short of his fourth quality start of the season and his first since April 7. It's been a tough year so far for Rogers, but June has begun in encouraging fashion as he's allowed four runs in 11.1 innings over two starts (3.18 ERA) with a 6:2 K:BB. He'll look to build on those efforts in his next outing, which is set to come at home this weekend against a Padres squad that sits dead last in the majors in wOBA versus left-handed pitching. |

Adley Rutschman Adley Rutschman Dealing with hamstring tightness
Tue, Jun 9, 2026, 9:25 PM
Rutschman has been battling left hamstring tightness over the past few days, Jake Rill of MLB.com reports.
Analysis: Rutschman has been held out of the Orioles' last two games, and manager Craig Albernaz said after Tuesday's contest that the 28-year-old backstop has been dealing with a hamstring issue. The team is considering him day-to-day for now, so a trip to the injured list doesn't appear imminent, though Sam Huff could receive another start or two behind the plate while Rutschman and Samuel Basallo (wrist) recover from their respective injuries. |

Samuel Basallo Samuel Basallo Managing wrist issue
Tue, Jun 9, 2026, 4:29 PM
Basallo is out of the lineup for Tuesday's game against the Mariners due to left wrist pain, Jacob Calvin Meyer of The Baltimore Sun reports.
Analysis: According to Jake Rill of MLB.com, Basallo has dealt with some discomfort and pain in his left wrist throughout most of his life, and he was diagnosed with a bony growth in the wrist Monday after the issue resurfaced. The 21-year-old should now have better path to treatment and could look for a more permanent solution during the offseason. |

Adley Rutschman Adley Rutschman Out of lineup again Tuesday
Tue, Jun 9, 2026, 4:01 PM
Rutschman is out of the lineup for Tuesday's matchup against Seattle.
Analysis: Rutschman will ride the bench for the second game in a row after starting each of the team's previous 11 contests. Sam Huff will once again start at catcher and bat ninth Tuesday. The Orioles have yet to announce an injury, but Rutschman is presumably dealing with something given that he has an .832 OPS through 48 games this season and is batting .360 (9-for-25) in June. |

Shelved with medical issue
Tue, Jun 9, 2026, 9:54 AM
High-A Frederick placed George on its 7-day injured list May 7 due to an undisclosed medical issue, Matt Weyrich of The Baltimore Sun reports.
Analysis: When he addressed George's situation May 15, Orioles president of baseball operations Mike Elias didn't delve into much detail regarding the matter beyond relaying the 20-year-old outfielder would be "out for a while." A 16th-round draft pick in 2024, George arrived in the professional ranks without much of a pedigree but cemented himself as one of the Orioles' top prospects after producing a .337/.413/.483 slash line with five home runs and 50 steals in 87 games across three levels in 2025. George had gotten off to a nice start to the 2026 campaign prior to being shut down in early May, posting a .372 on-base percentage while notching 15 steals in 17 attempts over 20 games with Frederick. |

Trey Gibson Trey Gibson Falls apart in fifth inning
Mon, Jun 8, 2026, 10:20 PM
Gibson (1-1) took the loss Monday against the Rays, allowing three runs on five hits and one walk in 4.2 innings. He failed to record a strikeout.
Analysis: Filling in for the injured Chris Bassitt (back), Gibson wasn't very effective in a spot start Monday. The rookie right-hander did make it through four scoreless innings initially, but the Mariners tagged him for three runs in the fifth frame. Gibson has looked overmatched at times in the major leagues, posting a 4.24 ERA, 1.53 WHIP and an alarming 5:8 K:BB over 17 innings, so he'll be tough to trust as a streaming option in his next scheduled start versus the Padres. |

Yaramil Hiraldo Yaramil Hiraldo Throwing off mound again
Mon, Jun 8, 2026, 3:49 PM
Hiraldo (shoulder) threw a bullpen session last week, Matt Weyrich of The Baltimore Sun reports.
Analysis: It was his first time throwing off the mound since he went down with right shoulder inflammation in early April. Hiraldo will need a rehab assignment before being activated, and it's not a given that he'll return to the major-league club once's he's off the IL. |

Cade Povich Cade Povich Resuming mound work this week
Mon, Jun 8, 2026, 3:45 PM
Povich (elbow) will resume throwing bullpen sessions this week, Matt Weyrich of The Baltimore Sun reports.
Analysis: Inflammation in his left elbow landed Povich on the 15-day injured list exactly one month ago, and he's finally improved enough to throw off the mound again. The southpaw is likely to require at least one rehab start before rejoining the Orioles. If Povich beats Dean Kremer (quadriceps) and/or Chris Bassitt (back) back from the IL, he'll have a good chance to enter the Baltimore rotation. |

Jhonkensy Noel Jhonkensy Noel Goes on Triple-A IL
Mon, Jun 8, 2026, 3:27 PM
Noel was placed on the 7-day injured list at Triple-A Norfolk on Monday with left wrist inflammation, Matt Weyrich of The Baltimore Sun reports.
Analysis: Noel hasn't played in almost two weeks because of the injury, and he is set to miss additional time. The 24-year-old has been a disaster at Norfolk this season, slashing .121/.217/.243 with three homers and a 30 percent strikeout rate over 120 plate appearances. |

Jeremiah Jackson Jeremiah Jackson Playing time drying up
Mon, Jun 8, 2026, 3:18 PM
Jackson is out of the lineup for Monday's game against the Mariners.
Analysis: Jackson had been handling a near-everyday role for the first two months of the season, but his playing time has dropped off considerably since Jackson Holliday was reinstated from the injured list May 18. The Orioles will keep Jackson on the bench for an eighth straight game Monday, marking by far the longest stretch he's been out of the lineup all season after he previously went no more than two games without a start. |
