Mon, Nov 2, 2026, 4:54 PM
Zulueta cleared waivers and was outrighted to Triple-A Norfolk on Monday.
Analysis: Zulueta was claimed off waivers from the Cubs over the summer and spent all of last season in Triple-A, where he compiled a 3.74 ERA, 1.39 WHIP and 24:9 K:BB across 21.2 innings of relief in the Baltimore organization.
Yohel Pozo
Yohel Pozo Booted from 40-man roster
Mon, Nov 2, 2026, 4:49 PM
Pozo cleared waivers and was outrighted to Triple-A Norfolk on Monday.
Analysis: Pozo split the 2026 season between the Cardinals and Orioles and slashed a combined .250/.258/.317 with one home run, seven RBI, four runs scored, one stolen base and a 1:9 BB:K across 62 plate appearances.
Philip Abner
Philip Abner Claimed by Baltimore
Mon, Nov 2, 2026, 4:33 PM
The Orioles claimed Abner off waivers from the Mets on Monday.
Analysis: Abner split the 2026 season with the Diamondbacks, Giants and Mets and will now head to Baltimore after appearing in 13 games out of the bullpen with Arizona and San Francisco. He was hammered for a combined 17 runs (15 earned) on 21 hits and 11 walks with 10 strikeouts across 19 innings. Abner will look for a fresh start with Baltimore in the spring.
Josh White
Josh White Heads to Baltimore via waivers
Mon, Nov 2, 2026, 4:29 PM
The Orioles claimed White off waivers from the Marlins on Monday.
Analysis: White made his major-league debut with Miami this past season but was tagged for five runs on one hit, four walks and a hit-by-pitch across two-thirds of an inning. He spent the bulk of the campaign with Triple-A Jacksonville, logging a 2.41 ERA, 1.21 WHIP and 62:31 K:BB across 56 frames. The 25-year-old will likely get a shot to break camp with Baltimore.
Zach Morgan
Zach Morgan Heads to Baltimore via waivers
Mon, Nov 2, 2026, 4:16 PM
The Orioles claimed Morgan off waivers from the Giants on Monday.
Analysis: Morgan has spent a handful of days in the majors but is still looking to make his major-league debut. The 26-year-old catcher slashed .226/.300/.323 with two home runs in 42 games with Triple-A Sacramento in 2026.
Chase Hampton
Chase Hampton Goes to Orioles via waivers
Mon, Nov 2, 2026, 3:51 PM
The Orioles claimed Hampton off waivers from the Cardinals on Monday.
Analysis: Hampton never threw a pitch in the Cardinals organization, as he was a waiver claim of St. Louis in late September. The former Yankees prospect missed all of 2025 following Tommy John surgery and struggled in 2026 upon returning, logging an 8.18 ERA and 56:34 K:BB over 55 innings across three levels in the minors.
Colin Selby
Colin Selby Clears waivers, assigned to Triple-A
Sat, Oct 31, 2026, 7:05 PM
Selby (shoulder) was reinstated from the 60-day IL, cleared outright waivers, and has been assigned to Triple-A Norfolk.
Analysis: Selby underwent season-ending right shoulder surgery last July to repair his labrum and rotator cuff. He's not expected to be ready for Opening Day in 2027, though there's a good chance he'll be able to return to game action at some point during the summer. Selby didn't pitch at all last year, but he showed some promise in 2025 when he posted a 14:2 K:BB over 14 innings spanning 11 relief appearances with the Orioles while recording a 3.21 ERA and 1.29 WHIP.
Codi Heuer
Codi Heuer Clears waivers, assigned to Triple-A
Sat, Oct 31, 2026, 6:51 PM
Heuer cleared waivers and accepted an outright assignment to Triple-A Norfolk on Saturday.
Analysis: Heuer ended the 2026 campaign in Triple-A before being designated for assignment. Rather than elect free agency, the veteran hurler has chosen to remain in Baltimore's organization. Heuer didn't pitch for the Orioles' big-league squad last year after being acquired in a trade with Milwaukee in early August. All of his MLB appearances in 2026 came with Cleveland, and he posted a 4.66 ERA, 1.76 WHIP and 6:5 K:BB across 9.2 innings in his eight outings.
Rece Hinds
Rece Hinds Re-signs with Orioles
Fri, Oct 30, 2026, 1:23 PM
The Orioles re-signed Hinds to a one-year contract Friday.
Analysis: Hinds finished the 2026 campaign with the Orioles, which was one of three organizations he was in during the season. The 26-year-old outfielder has big power but has yet to find consistency during his limited chances in the majors, slashing .171/.229/.388 with a 41.6 percent strikeout rate over parts of three seasons.
Luis Robert Jr.
Luis Robert Jr. O's to decline option
Thu, Oct 29, 2026, 4:49 PM
The Orioles are expected to decline Robert's $20 million club option for the 2027 season, Francys Romero of BeisbolFR.com reports.
Analysis: Robert slashed .221/.300/.407 with 11 homers, 26 RBI and 26 runs scored across 230 plate appearances between the Mets and Orioles this season. His .707 OPS is an improvement over the .661 mark he posted in 2025 with the White Sox, but it is still far from the heights he reached during his breakout 2023 campaign. The Orioles will pay the 29-year-old a $2 million buyout, and he will enter free agency with the freedom to revive his career with whichever team he chooses.
Signs with Baltimore
Thu, Oct 29, 2026, 2:01 PM
Martinez signed a minor-league contract with the Orioles on Thursday, Roch Kubatko of MASNsports.com reports.
Analysis: Martinez spent last spring with the Mets but was released by the club in April and didn't sign with another team for the rest of the season. He'll now get another chance to prove himself with an MLB organization, but his lack of experience beyond Double-A likely means he'll spend the season in the minors.
Ryan Helsley
Ryan Helsley Exercises player option for 2027
Thu, Oct 29, 2026, 9:54 AM
Helsley (elbow) will exercise his $14 million player option for 2027, Andy Kostka of TheBanner.com reports.
Analysis: Helsley was limited to only 15.1 innings in 2026 because of elbow trouble, making his decision to pick up his player option and remain in Baltimore a fairly easy one. The reliever pitched in a rehab game in September, so he should be healthy for spring training, barring any setbacks. Helsley figures to be in the mix to close games for the Orioles in 2027, though Felix Bautista and/or Rico Garcia are also options for the ninth inning.
Jayvien Sandridge
Jayvien Sandridge Re-signs with Orioles
Tue, Oct 20, 2026, 1:16 PM
The Orioles re-signed Sandridge (undisclosed) to a minor-league contract Tuesday, Matt Weyrich of The Baltimore Sun reports.
Analysis: Sandridge made six relief appearances for Triple-A Norfolk in 2026 before an undisclosed injury ended his season in early May. It's unclear what the lefty's current health status is, but he will be back in the Orioles organization in 2027. Sandridge's lone appearance in the majors came in 2025 with the Yankees, when he allowed two runs while recording just two outs.
Cade Povich
Cade Povich Undergoes elbow surgery
Thu, Oct 15, 2026, 11:00 AM
Povich underwent surgery Wednesday to remove loose bodies from his left elbow, Matt Weyrich of The Baltimore Sun reports.
Analysis: Weyrich reveals that Povich had pitched through significant discomfort down the stretch of the regular season, and the decision was made to have surgery. It's a relatively minor operation as far as elbow surgeries go, and the Orioles anticipate Povich being ready to roll for spring training. The lefty held a 4.38 ERA, 1.49 WHIP and 28:15 K:BB across 37 innings at the major-league level in 2026. Assuming health, he's likely in line to compete for a spot in the Orioles' rotation in 2027.
Jordan Westburg
Jordan Westburg Starting hitting progression
Mon, Sep 28, 2026, 12:31 PM
Orioles president of baseball operations Mike Elias said Monday that Westburg (elbow) will begin a hitting progression this week, Rich Dubroff of BaltimoreBaseball.com reports.
Analysis: Westburg underwent Tommy John surgery in May and missed the entire 2026 season. However, because he's a position player and not a pitcher, he has a good chance to head into the 2027 season without any limitations. Westburg has slashed .264/.312/.456 over parts of three major-league seasons and, assuming health, could open next season as the Orioles' primary third baseman.
Kyle Bradish
Kyle Bradish Sports hernia surgery scheduled
Mon, Sep 28, 2026, 12:25 PM
Orioles president of baseball operations Mike Elias said Monday that Bradish will undergo surgery Tuesday to repair a sports hernia, Andy Kostka of TheBanner.com reports.
Analysis: Bradish has been sidelined since mid-September with the injury and has ultimately decided to have it surgically repaired. More should be known regarding a timetable following the operation, but it should not affect Bradish's availability for the beginning of spring training. The right-hander finished the 2026 season with a 4.12 ERA, 1.46 WHIP and 142:70 K:BB over 155 innings covering 29 starts.
Shane Baz
Shane Baz Game 162 canceled
Sun, Sep 27, 2026, 3:05 PM
Baz will not start in Sunday's regular-season finale against the Yankees due to inclement weather, and the game will not be rescheduled.
Analysis: Sunday's game didn't carry much meaning, given that the Yankees are locked in as the No. 4 seed in the American League playoffs and the Orioles are eliminated from postseason contention. Baz will end the 2026 regular season with a 6-15 record across 31 starts and a 4.11 ERA, 1.35 WHIP and 154:63 K:BB over a career-high 179.2 innings.
Brandon Young
Brandon Young Takes loss in season finale
Fri, Sep 25, 2026, 9:52 PM
Young (9-6) took the loss against the Yankees in Game 2 of Friday's doubleheader, allowing one run on two hits and three walks with six strikeouts over five innings.
Analysis: Young opened with four scoreless frames before allowing a run on a double in the fifth, throwing 46 of 82 pitches for strikes with 14 whiffs. It was a tough-luck loss for the 28-year-old, who last earned a win Aug. 11 despite yielding two earned runs or fewer in five of eight starts since. He'll finish a solid campaign with a 3.56 ERA, 1.35 WHIP and 133:61 K:BB across 156.2 innings.
Pete Alonso
Pete Alonso Two more homers in twin bill
Fri, Sep 25, 2026, 9:41 PM
Alonso went 4-for-8 with two home runs, two walks, three RBI and four runs scored across both games of Friday's doubleheader against the Yankees.
Analysis: Alonso took sole possession of the American League lead in home runs with two long balls in Game 1 before reaching base three times in Game 2. Prior to his single in the fourth inning of the first game, the slugger's previous seven hits had left the yard. He's gone deep 11 times overall in 23 September contests and is slashing .267/.363/.522 with 43 homers, 113 RBI, 100 runs scored and five steals across 700 plate appearances with one game to go this season.
Dylan Beavers
Dylan Beavers Homers twice across twin bill
Fri, Sep 25, 2026, 9:34 PM
Beavers went 2-for-9 with two home runs, five RBI and two runs scored across both games of Friday's doubleheader against the Yankees.
Analysis: Beavers launched his first career grand slam in Game 1 before adding a solo shot in the ninth inning of Game 2. The 25-year-old is trying to put an exclamation point on what has been a forgettable September, as he entered Friday hitting just .162 over 19 games in the month. Overall, he's slashing .228/.307/.373 with nine homers, 44 RBI, 41 runs scored and five steals across 363 plate appearances in his first full major-league campaign.
