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. |

Gunnar Henderson Gunnar Henderson Slugs career homer No. 100
Sat, Jun 13, 2026, 9:04 AM
Henderson went 3-for-3 with a walk, a solo home run and a second run scored in Friday's 7-3 win over the Padres.
Analysis: The 24-year-old took Griffin Canning deep in the fourth inning, giving Henderson his 14th homer of the season and the 100th of his career. He's the fourth-youngest player in Orioles history to reach that milestone, behind Boog Powell, Hall of Famer Eddie Murray and Friday's opponent Manny Machado. Henderson has banged out three or more hits in five of his last 25 contests, slashing .277/.360/.475 over that stretch with five doubles, five homers, one steal, 11 RBI and 15 runs. |

Shane Baz Shane Baz Relies on weak contact in win
Sat, Jun 13, 2026, 8:59 AM
Baz (4-6) picked up the win Friday, giving up three runs (two earned) on six hits and two walks over five innings in a 7-3 victory over the Padres. He struck out one.
Analysis: The lone strikeout was a season low for Baz, but he got plenty of support from the Orioles offense as he collected his third win in his last four starts. The right-hander has been tagged for two earned runs or fewer in five straight outings, posting a 2.05 ERA, 1.17 WHIP and 25:10 K:BB over his last 30.2 innings, but his ratios have also been cushioned by five unearned runs during that time. Baz will look to stay stingy in his next start, which is scheduled to come on the road next week in Seattle. |

Trey Gibson Trey Gibson Drawing another start
Sat, Jun 13, 2026, 8:10 AM
Gibson is slated to start Saturday's game against the Padres at Camden Yards, Jake Rill of MLB.com reports.
Analysis: Gibson will be handed a second straight turn through the Baltimore rotation while the Orioles await Chris Bassitt's (back) return from the injured list. The rookie right-hander has thus far made four appearances (three starts) over four separate stints with Baltimore this season, logging a 4.24 ERA, 1.53 WHIP and 5:8 K:BB in 17 frames while reaching five innings in just one of those outings. |

Leody Taveras Leody Taveras Exiting starting nine
Fri, Jun 12, 2026, 2:09 PM
Taveras is not in the lineup for Friday's game against the Padres.
Analysis: The re-emergence of Colton Cowser has started to cut into Taveras' playing time a bit, as this is the third time he's been out of the lineup over the last 10 games. Cowser is in center field and Tyler O'Neill will play right field Friday for the Orioles. |

Adley Rutschman Adley Rutschman Drives in three in win
Thu, Jun 11, 2026, 10:34 PM
Rutschman went 2-for-3 with a double, a walk, three RBI and one run scored in Thursday's 7-5 win over the Mariners.
Analysis: Rutschman had missed three games with left hamstring tightness before returning as the designated hitter Thursday. He is batting .393 (11-for-28) over seven contests in June, so getting his bat back in the lineup is big for Baltimore. The catcher is hitting .273 with an .848 OPS, eight home runs, 39 RBI, 26 runs scored, 15 doubles and a triple over 49 games this season. |

Colton Cowser Colton Cowser Belts homer in win
Thu, Jun 11, 2026, 10:32 PM
Cowser went 1-for-4 with a solo home run in Thursday's 7-5 win over the Mariners.
Analysis: Cowser had gone 0-for-10 with two walks and three strikeouts in the first four games of the series. He was able to end the slump with a third-inning blast off Bryan Woo to ignite a six-run inning for the Orioles. Cowser has struggled to hit for average this season, batting .227 with a .708 OPS, seven homers, 23 RBI, 22 runs scored and two stolen bases over 162 plate appearances. He has upped the power lately with all seven of his homers coming since May 17. |

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. |
