Jackson Holliday Jackson Holliday Appears as pinch hitter
Wed, Jun 24, 2026, 11:06 PM
Holliday (groin) struck out in his lone at-bat during Wednesday's 7-6 extra-inning loss to the Angels.
Analysis: The Orioles held Holliday out of the lineup for four consecutive games to manage his groin soreness, but the middle infielder was able to make his first appearance Wednesday as a pinch hitter since Saturday's win over the Dodgers. Baltimore has a day off Thursday, so Holliday has an extra day to recuperate ahead of Friday's series opener versus the Nationals. |

Tyler Wells Tyler Wells Records 10th hold
Wed, Jun 24, 2026, 10:26 PM
Wells picked up a hold Wednesday against the Angels, allowing one hit and one walk in 1.1 scoreless relief innings. He struck out four.
Analysis: Wells remains a strong source of holds in fantasy leagues that record them, collecting 10 on the season so far. The right-hander has been an effective multi-inning weapon out of Baltimore's bullpen in 2026, logging a 3.25 ERA, 1.11 WHIP and 39:9 K:BB over 36 innings. |

Samuel Basallo Samuel Basallo Posts first career multi-homer game
Wed, Jun 24, 2026, 10:21 PM
Basallo went 2-for-5 with a pair of two-run home runs in Wednesday's 7-6 extra-inning loss to the Angels.
Analysis: It was the first career multi-homer game by Basallo, who simultaneously matched a career high in RBI on Wednesday. The 21-year-old backstop occasionally sits versus southpaws -- he's posted a .505 OPS over 54 at-bats against left-handers -- but he's mashed right-handed pitching to the tune of an .868 OPS across 172 at-bats this year. Through 249 plate appearances overall, Basallo is slashing .257/.317/.465 with 12 homers, nine doubles, 35 RBI and 29 runs scored. |

Trey Gibson Trey Gibson Serviceable in no-decision
Wed, Jun 24, 2026, 9:28 PM
Gibson took a no-decision Wednesday against the Angels, allowing two runs on three hits and two walks in four innings. He struck out five.
Analysis: Gibson was serviceable Wednesday, holding the Angels to two runs over four innings. Baltimore still hasn't trusted the rookie right-hander to work particularly deep into starts, as Gibson has pitched into the sixth inning just one time across his first seven outings. He has a shaky 5.64 ERA, 1.65 WHIP and 25:19 K:BB across 30.1 innings, but Gibson is set to take at least one more turn through the big-league rotation next week against the White Sox while the Orioles wait for Dean Kremer (quadriceps) to complete his rehab assignment. |

Blaze Alexander Blaze Alexander Checking back into starting nine
Wed, Jun 24, 2026, 1:21 PM
Alexander will start at third base and bat ninth in Wednesday's game against the Angels, Jake Rill of MLB.com reports.
Analysis: Alexander exited Monday's series opener due to a right knee contusion and was held out of Tuesday's 5-1 loss, but the day off was apparently all that he needed to move past the minor injury. He'll settle back in at third base, where he appears to have supplanted Coby Mayo as the Orioles' preferred option. Dating back to the beginning of June, Alexander has submitted a .413/.451/.674 slash line with two home runs, two stolen bases, nine RBI and seven runs in 17 games. |

Analysis: The Orioles will keep Holliday on the bench for a fourth consecutive contest while he tends to a sore groin. Per MLB.com, Holliday was able to go through pregame work Monday and Tuesday, so the Orioles are seemingly viewing him as day-to-day with the hope that he'll be ready to return to the lineup during this weekend's series against the Nationals following Thursday's team off day. |
