Pete Alonso Pete Alonso Two-run blast in win
Thu, Jun 11, 2026, 10:24 PM
Alonso went 1-for-4 with a two-run home run in Thursday's 7-5 win over the Mariners.
Analysis: Alonso has gone deep in consecutive games for the third time this season. Over his last 15 contests, he's hitting .279 (17-for-61) with five long balls and 11 RBI. The first baseman continues to be a steady source of power with 15 homers, 44 RBI, 42 runs scored, 12 doubles and two stolen bases while batting .243 with a .775 OPS over 70 contests this season. |

Andrew Kittredge Andrew Kittredge Converts first save
Thu, Jun 11, 2026, 10:22 PM
Kittredge threw a scoreless and hitless inning without striking out or walking a batter to earn the save in Thursday's 7-5 win over the Mariners.
Analysis: One runner reached base on an error, but Kittredge was able to settle in and lock it down. He needed just six pitches in total, getting three groundouts. He's been a little spotty this season, allowing at least one run in seven of his 17 appearances, but it's a seven-run meltdown from May 3 versus the Yankees that has skewed his ratios. He's at a 6.75 ERA, 1.57 WHIP and 15:4 K:BB with a save, two holds and a blown save across 14.2 innings this season. The right-hander is the fifth pitcher to log a save for Baltimore this season, though Kittredge will likely be limited to a setup role once Ryan Helsley (elbow) comes off the injured list. |

Kyle Bradish Kyle Bradish Yields three homers in no-decision
Thu, Jun 11, 2026, 10:17 PM
Bradish allowed five runs on seven hits and three walks while striking out five over four innings in a no-decision on Thursday.
Analysis: The Orioles built up a 6-1 lead in the third inning, but Bradish gave four runs back in the fourth. That would be his last frame of the game after throwing 85 pitches (52 strikes) in the start. He looked to have turned a corner in late May, but he's allowed 10 runs over eight innings across his two starts in June. Overall, he's at a 4.30 ERA, 1.57 WHIP and 73:39 K:BB through 73.1 innings over 14 starts this season. Bradish's next start is projected to be a rematch against the Mariners in Seattle. |

Leaves early with injury Thursday
Thu, Jun 11, 2026, 7:09 PM
Honeycutt was removed from Thursday's contest with High-A Frederick due to left quad tightness, Roch Kubatko of MASNSports.com reports.
Analysis: Honeycutt was taken out of the game before he was able to log an at-bat. The 23-year-old owns a .200 average with eight home runs, 23 RBI, 30 runs scored and 18 stolen bases over 145 at-bats so far this season, and it's unclear how long he may be sidelined. |

Tommy Pham Tommy Pham Likely to opt out of deal
Thu, Jun 11, 2026, 5:42 PM
Pham is expected to opt out of his minor-league contract with the Orioles, Jake Rill of MLB.com reports.
Analysis: Pham signed a minor-league contract with the Orioles on May 16 and has since slashed just .172/.246/.345 with three homers, nine RBI and 10 runs scored through 65 plate appearances. The 38-year-old outfielder isn't likely to make much of a contribution in the majors at this stage in his career, so he will likely have to settle for another minor-league deal in free agency or consider retirement. |

Dean Kremer Dean Kremer Nearing rehab games
Thu, Jun 11, 2026, 4:00 PM
Kremer (quadriceps) threw another live batting practice session Thursday at the Orioles' spring training complex and could be cleared to begin a rehab assignment next, Matt Weyrich of The Baltimore Sun reports.
Analysis: Kremer threw 35 pitches -- which included two "ups" -- and also went through pitchers' fielding practice drills. The veteran hurler has been shelved since late April with a right quad strain but looks to be tracking toward a return around July 1 if he continues at his current progression. |

Samuel Basallo Samuel Basallo Returning to lineup
Thu, Jun 11, 2026, 3:18 PM
Basallo (wrist) will start at catcher and bat fifth in Thursday's tilt versus the Mariners.
Analysis: Basallo has been out of the lineup for the past three games as he deals with a bony growth in his left wrist, but he had a few plate appearances off the bench during that stretch and is now ready to return to the Orioles' lineup. The 21-year-old has collected a .801 OPS with nine home runs across 199 plate appearances for Baltimore this season. |

Adley Rutschman Adley Rutschman Back in Orioles' lineup
Thu, Jun 11, 2026, 3:15 PM
Rutschman (hamstring) will start at designated hitter and bat third in Thursday's game versus the Mariners.
Analysis: Rutschman has missed each of the last three games with left hamstring tightness, but he feels well enough to at least hit in Thursday's contest. The switch hitter has been better against righties (.876 OPS) than lefties (.760 OPS) this season and will take on Seattle righty Bryan Woo in the series finale. |

Undergoes elbow surgery
Thu, Jun 11, 2026, 12:50 PM
Morfe underwent arthroscopic surgery Wednesday to remove bone spurs from his right elbow, Roch Kubatko of MASNSports.com reports.
Analysis: Morfe went down with the elbow injury during his first appearance of the season back in early April with Single-A Delmarva, and he's now gone under the knife. There's no timetable for the 20-year-old's return, but he should have a chance to come back late in the minor-league season. |

Jackson Holliday Jackson Holliday Launches grand slam in win
Thu, Jun 11, 2026, 6:44 AM
Holliday went 1-for-4 with a grand slam in Wednesday's 7-2 victory over the Mariners.
Analysis: Holliday broke the game open with his grand slam off Domingo Gonzalez with two outs in the seventh inning. It's the third career grand slam and third homer this season for Holliday. Coming into the day, he'd gone just 3-for-18 (.167) over his previous six contests. Since returning from the IL on May 19, Holliday is slashing .220/.319/.424 with 10 RBI, 10 runs scored and three stolen bases. |

Wed, Jun 10, 2026, 9:22 PM
Alonso went 2-for-5 with a solo home run and an additional run scored in Wednesday's 7-2 win over the Mariners.
Analysis: Alonso broke a scoreless tie in the sixth inning with a 402-foot shot off George Kirby, his 14th homer this season. After a slow start to the year, Alonso has picked things up over the past month, batting .299 with six homers and 19 RBI in his last 22 games. Overall, he's slashing .242/.321/.447 with 41 runs scored and 42 RBI through 299 plate appearances this year. |

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. |
