Brandon Young Brandon Young Takes loss in quality start
Tue, Jun 16, 2026, 11:21 PM
Young (5-2) allowed three runs on four hits and four walks while striking out two over six innings to take the loss versus the Mariners on Tuesday.
Analysis: Young had his best outing of the season against the Mariners in his last start, but he wasn't quite as good in the rematch in Seattle. It was still a fifth straight quality start for the right-hander, who has given the Orioles good pitching more often than not. He's now at a 3.18 ERA, 1.25 WHIP and 44:23 K:BB over 62.1 innings across 11 starts this season. Young's lack of strikeouts limits his usefulness in fantasy, but he's allowed three runs or less in all but one of his starts. He's projected for a tough road start versus the Dodgers in his next outing. |

Coby Mayo Coby Mayo Day off Tuesday
Tue, Jun 16, 2026, 6:51 PM
Mayo is not in the starting lineup Tuesday against the Mariners, Roch Kubatko of MASNSports.com reports.
Analysis: Mayo will take a seat for another contest, making it four of the last six that he has not been in the starting lineup. Blaze Alexander appears to have supplanted him in the pecking order at third base, starting at the hot corner and batting eighth in the series opener versus Seattle. |

Dylan Beavers Dylan Beavers Beginning assignment Thursday
Tue, Jun 16, 2026, 6:48 PM
Beavers (oblique) is expected to begin a rehab assignment at Double-A Chesapeake on Thursday, Andy Kostka of TheBanner.com reports.
Analysis: Beavers was cleared to begin facing live pitching Monday, and barring a sudden setback, he'll begin testing his strained right oblique in a competitive setting later this week. The 24-year-old outfielder has been sidelined for about a month and will likely require a handful of appearances in the minors before being cleared to return from the IL. |

Chris Bassitt Chris Bassitt Starting throwing progression
Tue, Jun 16, 2026, 6:45 PM
Bassitt (back) received a facet injection to his lower back Friday, and he's set to begin his throwing progression, Jake Rill of MLB.com reports.
Analysis: Bassitt was placed on the 15-day injured list June 8 due to low back discomfort, but he now appears to be set to begin to working towards a return to action. The right-hander will likely require at least one bullpen session and potentially a round of live batting practice before he'd begin a minor-league rehab assignment. Bassitt is first eligible to be activated from the IL on June 20, but he seems likely to remain sidelined into July at this point. |

Dean Kremer Dean Kremer Gearing up for rehab assignment
Tue, Jun 16, 2026, 6:41 PM
Kremer (quadriceps) will begin a rehab assignment with Triple-A Norfolk this week, Jake Rill of MLB.com reports.
Analysis: Kremer threw live batting practice for the second time in a week Tuesday, and he'll now transition into game action with the Triple-A squad. Considering he's been since late April while recovering from a right quadriceps strain, the right-hander will likely require a few outings with Norfolk to get up to speed before he'd be added to the major-league roster in early July. |

Cade Povich Cade Povich Set to begin rehab assignment
Tue, Jun 16, 2026, 6:36 PM
Povich (elbow) will begin a minor-league rehab assignment with Double-A Chesapeake this week, Jake Rill of MLB.com reports.
Analysis: Povich has been sidelined since early May while nursing left elbow inflammation. The southpaw threw live batting practice Tuesday, and he appears to have left the session without any concerns moving forward. Povich may require multiple rehab starts to shake off some rust, but time will tell what the team's plan is. |

Yaramil Hiraldo Yaramil Hiraldo Set for live BP
Tue, Jun 16, 2026, 6:32 PM
Hiraldo (shoulder) will throw live batting practice Friday, Jake Rill of MLB.com reports.
Analysis: Hiraldo has slowly been working his way back from right shoulder inflammation, which has sidelined him since early April. The right-hander resumed throwing off a mound in early June, and Friday's session will be a significant step forward, if he's able to complete the session unscathed. Hiraldo will likely require multiple outings during a minor-league rehab assignment in order to get back up to speed, but he could return to the major-league roster before the end of the month. |

Anthony Nunez Anthony Nunez Relegated to minors
Tue, Jun 16, 2026, 2:20 PM
Baltimore optioned Nunez to Triple-A Norfolk on Tuesday.
Analysis: Nunez was last seen in action on Sunday after pitching one scoreless inning against San Diego. On the campaign, the right-hander posted a 4.98 ERA, 1.28 WHIP and 38:14 K:BB through 34.1 innings. The 24-year-old will head down to Norfolk to make room for Ryan Helsley on the active roster. |

Ryan Helsley Ryan Helsley Reinstated from injured list
Tue, Jun 16, 2026, 2:18 PM
The Orioles activated Helsley (elbow) from the 15-day injured list Tuesday.
Analysis: Helsley wound up being sidelined for seven weeks with right elbow inflammation. He struck out five of seven batters faced over two scoreless rehab innings with Triple-A Norfolk and should slide right back into the closer role in Baltimore. Helsley posted a 2.53 ERA and 15:7 K:BB over 10.2 frames while notching seven saves before he got injured. |

Trevor Rogers Trevor Rogers Finding rhythm in June
Sun, Jun 14, 2026, 6:55 PM
Rogers (3-7) took the loss Sunday against the Padres, allowing two runs on five hits and two walks in six innings. He struck out four.
Analysis: Although he's still struggling for strikeouts, Rogers is certainly finding a rhythm on the mound recently. The 28-year-old southpaw has recorded fewer than five punchouts in eight consecutive starts, but he does have a 3.12 ERA, 1.15 WHIP and 10:4 K:BB over 17.1 innings covering three outings in June thus far. Rogers will try to further improve on his 5.86 ERA, 1.45 WHIP and 48:22 K:BB over 66 frames going forward, but he'll have his work cut out with a road outing against the Dodgers on tap for his next appearance. |

Jackson Holliday Jackson Holliday Taking seat Sunday
Sun, Jun 14, 2026, 11:22 AM
Holliday is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Padres.
Analysis: Jeremiah Jackson will receive the nod at second base while Holliday appears to be receiving a planned rest day for the series finale. Holliday had covered the keystone in each of the Orioles' last 11 games, going 6-for-36 (.167 average) with one home run, five RBI and four runs over that stretch. |

Tyler O'Neill Tyler O'Neill Back on bench Sunday
Sun, Jun 14, 2026, 11:20 AM
O'Neill is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Padres.
Analysis: O'Neill had been included in the starting nine in four of the past five games and went 6-for-16 with four doubles and a walk during that stretch, but he might have to settle for more of a part-time role moving forward. Samuel Basallo recently missed three straight games due to a left elbow issue, but he made his return to the lineup Thursday and should be prioritized ahead of O'Neill at designated hitter. O'Neill should still get the chance to play regularly versus lefties, and he'll likely get some occasional opportunities in right field against right-handed pitching at the expense of Leody Taveras. |

Coby Mayo Coby Mayo Slipping into timeshare
Sun, Jun 14, 2026, 11:15 AM
Mayo is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Padres.
Analysis: Mayo will be on the bench for the third time in five games, with the Orioles having faced right-handed pitchers in each of those contests. He appears to have faded into a timeshare at the position with Blaze Alexander, who will receive the starting nod Sunday. Since the beginning of June, Mayo has slugged three home runs, but he's hitting just .184 and has struck out a 43.6 percent clip. |

Pete Alonso Pete Alonso Power surge continues
Sun, Jun 14, 2026, 7:09 AM
Alonso went 3-for-5 with a double, a home run and two RBI in Saturday's 9-3 loss to the Padres.
Analysis: The slugging first baseman accounted for most of the Orioles' offense on the day, launching a solo shot off Randy Vasquez in the first inning and adding an RBI double in the seventh. Alonso has gone yard three times in the last four games, and through 12 contests to begin June he's slashing .326/.407/.674 with five of his 16 homers on the season, along with 10 runs and 12 RBI. |

Trey Gibson Trey Gibson Lacks command in Saturday's loss
Sun, Jun 14, 2026, 7:06 AM
Gibson (1-2) took the loss Saturday, coughing up six runs on three hits and five walks over 4.1 innings as the Orioles were downed 9-3 by the Padres. He struck out seven.
Analysis: The rookie right-hander did set a new career high in strikeouts in his fifth big-league appearance and fourth start, but Gibson threw only 53 of 93 pitches for strikes and got hit hard when he did get the ball in the strike zone, serving up homers to Jackson Merrill and Samad Taylor in the top of the first inning as San Diego jumped out to a 4-0 lead. Gibson has a 5.91 ERA, 1.59 WHIP and 12:13 K:BB in 21.1 innings for Baltimore, and with Chris Bassitt (back) expected to return from the IL next week, he could be headed back to Triple-A Norfolk before getting another start. |

Dylan Beavers Dylan Beavers Inching toward rehab assignment
Sat, Jun 13, 2026, 11:18 PM
Beavers (oblique) is expected to progress to live batting practice as early as Monday, MLB.com reports.
Analysis: If all goes well next week, Beavers could then start a minor-league rehab assignment shortly thereafter. The 24-year-old outfielder has been on the injured list since May 13 due to a right oblique strain, but he's tracking toward rejoining the Orioles perhaps in early July. |

Ryan Helsley Ryan Helsley Impressive rehab outing
Sat, Jun 13, 2026, 7:31 PM
Helsley pitched one inning with two strikeouts and no hits allowed for Triple-A Norfolk in his second rehab outing, Jake Rill of MLB.com reports.
Analysis: Helsley completed his second rehab appearance for Norfolk and impressed after recording a 1-2-3 inning on just 14 pitches. Baltimore has missed the right hander's presence in the back-end of the bullpen since he was placed on the injured list May 1. Before being placed on the IL, Helsley posted a 2.53 ERA, 1.31 WHIP and 15:7 K:BB in 10.2 innings. |

Ryan Mountcastle Ryan Mountcastle Gets in some running
Sat, Jun 13, 2026, 3:45 PM
Mountcastle (foot) did some running Saturday, Roch Kubatko of MASNSports.com reports.
Analysis: Mountcastle has been out of action since April 11 due to a fractured left foot. He is currently on the 60-day IL, and though he's now eligible to return, the 29-year-old isn't expected to be activated until late June or early July. Given that he's now back to running, it sounds like Mountcastle is progressing well toward that timeline. |

Coby Mayo Coby Mayo Taking seat Saturday
Sat, Jun 13, 2026, 12:17 PM
Mayo isn't in the lineup for Saturday's game against San Diego, Roch Kubatko of MASNSports.com reports.
Analysis: Mayo will get a breather after going 0-for-4 with three strikeouts during Friday's series opener. His absence will give Blaze Alexander a start at third base. |
|
Adley Rutschman Adley Rutschman Sitting Saturday
Sat, Jun 13, 2026, 12:15 PM
Rutschman isn't in the lineup for Saturday's game against the Padres, Roch Kubatko of MASNSports.com reports.
Analysis: Rutschman will take a seat Saturday after going 0-for-2 with a walk and an RBI in Friday's win. Samuel Basallo will start behind the plate while Taylor Ward serves as the DH. |
