Wed, Apr 29, 2026, 6:01 PM
The Orioles recalled Foster from Triple-A Norfolk on Wednesday.
Analysis: The O's optioned Foster to the minors on Saturday, but he'll now return to the big club following Trevor Rogers' (illness) move to the injured list. Foster has struggled to find his footing in the majors so far, allowing four earned runs on nine hits and five walks through just 5.2 innings. |

Trevor Rogers Trevor Rogers Lands on injured list
Wed, Apr 29, 2026, 5:57 PM
The Orioles placed Rogers on the 15-day injured list Wednesday due to an illness, retroactive to Sunday.
Analysis: Rogers has been having a rough go of things on the mound lately, posting a 9.53 ERA and 2.12 WHIP over 11.1 innings across his last three starts. He was forced out of his most recent outing after giving up three earned runs in just 1.2 frames and now seems to be fighting off an illness severe enough to warrant a trip to the injured list. Cameron Foster will come up from the minors in a corresponding move to add depth to Baltimore's bullpen, though it remains unclear who will fill the void in the rotation. |

Ryan Helsley Ryan Helsley Notches seventh save
Wed, Apr 29, 2026, 8:20 AM
Helsley worked a perfect ninth inning Tuesday without striking anyone out to record his seventh save of the season in a 5-3 win over the Astros.
Analysis: Two flyouts and a failed bunt attempt by Jose Altuve got the job done for Helsley, who's a perfect 7-for-7 in converting save chances to begin the year. The right-hander appears to have put last season's troubles with the Mets mostly behind him, and through 10.2 innings for the Orioles he's delivered a 2.53 ERA, 1.31 WHIP and 15:7 K:BB. |

Shane Baz Shane Baz Finally gets in win column
Wed, Apr 29, 2026, 8:17 AM
Baz (1-2) picked up the win Tuesday, allowing one run on six hits and one walk over 5.2 innings in the Orioles' 5-3 victory over the Astros. He struck out six.
Analysis: A solo shot by Brice Matthews in the fifth inning was the only blemish on Baz's line, and he got the hook after 98 pitches (65 strikes), just short of his first quality start of the season. The right-hander has provided Baltimore with at least five innings in all six of his trips to the mound, but length has been about the only area of consistency for the former Ray. Baz will take a 4.50 ERA, 1.50 WHIP and 29:11 K:BB through 34 innings into his next start, which is set to come on the road this weekend in Yankee Stadium. |

Jackson Holliday Jackson Holliday No timetable for return to games
Tue, Apr 28, 2026, 3:17 PM
Orioles manager Craig Albernaz noted Tuesday that he's not sure when Holliday (hand) will be ready to play in games again, Jake Rill of MLB.com reports.
Analysis: Holliday has had to be pulled off a rehab assignment twice due to nagging soreness in his surgically repaired right hand. He went through a battery of tests that came back negative but is currently limited to fielding grounders. Expect the Orioles to proceed cautiously with Holliday so as to avoid another setback. |

Sam Huff Sam Huff Returns to Baltimore organization
Tue, Apr 28, 2026, 2:49 PM
The Orioles re-signed Huff to a minor-league contract Saturday.
Analysis: After Baltimore designated him for assignment last week, Huff elected free agency upon clearing waivers, but he quickly worked out a new deal to stick around in the organization. He'll report to Triple-A Norfolk, where he'll share time at catcher with Silas Ardoin and Creed Willems. |

Brandon Young Brandon Young Sticking around in rotation
Tue, Apr 28, 2026, 1:04 PM
Young is slated to start Thursday's game against the Astros at Camden Yards.
Analysis: Young will end up sticking around with the Orioles for a second turn through the rotation after he was called up from Triple-A Norfolk last week in the wake of Dean Kremer (quadriceps) landing on the injured list. While stepping into Kremer's spot in the rotation Friday, Young earned a win while striking out five Red Sox batters and allowing three earned runs on seven hits and one walk. With Kremer due to miss multiple weeks, Young should have a decent amount of leash in the rotation so long as he continues to perform adequately. |

Mon, Apr 27, 2026, 10:40 PM
Eeles (shoulder) is 1-for-8 with one RBI and one run scored across three games at Triple-A Norfolk this season.
Analysis: Eeles missed the first few weeks of the season due to a shoulder injury picked up during spring training. After completing a brief ramp up period with High-A Frederick, he's back in the lineup for the Tides. |

Samuel Basallo Samuel Basallo Homers again Sunday
Mon, Apr 27, 2026, 6:54 AM
Basallo went 2-for-4 with a solo home run in Sunday's 5-3 loss to the Red Sox.
Analysis: Basallo, who started at catcher Sunday due to Adley Rutschman serving as the DH, got the Orioles on the board in the fifth inning with a 392-foot blast off Connelly Early, Basallo's fifth homer of the season and first against a left-handed pitcher. The 21-year-old has now homered in back-to-back starts while going 6-for-9 in that span. He's boosted his slash line to .233/.325/.452 with eight RBI and 10 runs scored through his first 83 plate appearances this season. |

Promoted to High-A
Sun, Apr 26, 2026, 5:51 PM
Lord was promoted to High-A Frederick on Sunday, Jacob Calvin Meyer of The Baltimore Sun reports.
Analysis: Lord will move up a level in the Orioles' minor-league farm system after he produced a 3.71 ERA and 1.12 WHIP with an eye-popping 32 strikeouts over 17 innings in four starts with Single-A Delmarva to open the year. The 23-year-old underwent Tommy John surgery in 2024 before making his professional debut this past season, and he is now out to quite the start to 2026 campaign. |

Returning to action
Sun, Apr 26, 2026, 5:40 PM
Watts-Brown (shoulder) is set to be activated from the 7-day injured list, Roch Kubatko of MASNSports.com reports.
Analysis: Watts-Brown will return to action after dealing with a shoulder injury for the last couple weeks. The right-handed pitcher will join Double-A Chesapeake ahead of the team's series against Erie beginning Tuesday. |

Kyle Bradish Kyle Bradish Falls to Boston
Sun, Apr 26, 2026, 4:14 PM
Bradish (1-3) took the loss Sunday against the Red Sox, allowing three runs on four hits and four walks over five innings. He struck out three.
Analysis: It was a solid outing for Bradish overall, as he held the Red Sox scoreless through four innings. However, he'd give up a pair of singles in the fifth before Willson Contreras made him pay with a two-out, three-run homer. Bradish continues to struggle with his command early in the season, posting a 5.10 BB/9, and he's only made it through six innings in one of his six outings. Overall, Bradish sports a 4.20 ERA with a 1.73 WHIP and 31:17 K:BB across 30 innings. He's currently slated for a tough road matchup with the Yankees his next time out. |

Exits early Sunday
Sun, Apr 26, 2026, 4:06 PM
Honeycutt left Sunday's contest with High-A Frederick early with left thumb discomfort, Jake Rill of MLB.com reports.
Analysis: Honeycutt finished his day having gone 0-for-1 with a walk and a strikeout, and he is now batting .188 with four home runs, 13 RBI, 12 runs scored and seven stolen bases over 67 at-bats in 18 games at High-A this year. It's unclear what exactly the outfielder's injury is, but he can be considered day-to-day for the time being. |

Albert Suarez Albert Suarez Loses 40-man roster spot
Sun, Apr 26, 2026, 9:36 AM
Suarez was designated for assignment Sunday by Baltimore.
Analysis: Suarez spent most of April on the big-league roster and pitched reasonably well in five appearances with a 3.46 ERA, 1.15 WHIP and 6:5 K:BB over 13 innings, plus a win and a save. However, the Orioles needed to make room for Ryan Helsley, who was reinstated from the bereavement/family medical emergency list Sunday. Suarez could remain with the organization if he goes unclaimed on waivers. |

Ryan Helsley Ryan Helsley Returns from bereavement list
Sun, Apr 26, 2026, 9:32 AM
The Orioles reinstated Helsley (personal) from the bereavement/family medical emergency list Sunday.
Analysis: Helsley was away from the team for four days to deal with a personal matter. He'll now return to the squad and should immediately reclaim Baltimore's closer role. The Orioles designated pitcher Albert Suarez for assignment in a corresponding move. |

Trevor Rogers Trevor Rogers Quick hook in Saturday's loss
Sat, Apr 25, 2026, 5:23 PM
Rogers (2-3) took the loss Saturday, giving up three runs on four hits and two walks over 1.2 innings as the Orioles were routed 17-1. He struck out two.
Analysis: A 10-run ninth inning by the visitors made the final score look much worse, but Rogers dug an early hole for the O's when he couldn't escape the second inning. The southpaw got lifted after 62 pitches (38 strikes), and he's now been tagged for 13 runs (12 earned) in 11.1 innings over his last three starts. The rough stretch has left Rogers with a 4.75 ERA, 1.45 WHIP and 27:10 K:BB through 30.1 innings on the season, and he'll try to turn things around in his next outing, which is set to come on the road next weekend against the Yankees. |

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 seats in right-center field 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 (quadriceps) in the rotation, Young tossed 65 of 93 pitches for strikes in a respectable 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. |
