Check back throughout the offseason for updates on the Orioles' injuries and roster moves.

NEW YORK -- The Orioles have been dealt a final blow in their injury-plagued 2024 regular season, one that will negatively impact their pitching staff for the postseason. Right-hander Grayson Rodriguez has been shut down and will not pitch again this year, manager Brandon Hyde announced prior to Wednesday’s game

DETROIT -- With just 13 games remaining in the regular season, the Orioles got a big boost on Sunday with the return of Heston Kjerstad. Baltimore’s former top prospect was back in at designated hitter for the O's in their 4-2 finale loss vs. the Tigers, and went 0-for-2 out

DENVER -- The Orioles started September with a flurry of roster moves as they hit the heart of the playoff race. The Orioles recalled third baseman Coby Mayo (the club's No. 1 prospect and MLB Pipeline's No. 9 overall), as expected. They also brought up catcher David Ba?uelos, who had

DENVER -- When the Orioles left Coors Field on Saturday night, they were walking away from more than the ballpark. They were also walking away from August -- and gladly. Baltimore went 13-15 during the month, which came to a close with a 7-5 loss to the Rockies that saw

LOS ANGELES -- In recent weeks, Jorge Mateo knew surgery remained a possibility for his injured left elbow, as doctors hadn’t ruled out him needing to undergo a procedure. But the 29-year-old infielder held out hope that he could return to play for the Orioles later this year. That will

NEW YORK -- The Orioles' starting rotation took another hit on Tuesday when right-hander Zach Eflin was placed on the 15-day injured list (retroactive to Saturday) with right shoulder inflammation. But the Orioles are hopeful that Eflin's injury is a short-term issue and that the 30-year-old right-hander -- who has

TORONTO -- There’s no good time to get bad news, but 10 minutes before first pitch is especially tough. That’s around the time that Grayson Rodriguez, the 24-year-old right-hander in the middle of a great sophomore season, was scratched from his start against the Blue Jays on Tuesday night at

BALTIMORE -- The Orioles took three out of four games from the Blue Jays with a 10-4 victory at Camden Yards on Wednesday afternoon, a day highlighted by a Jackson Holliday grand slam that marked the first big league homer for MLB Pipeline’s No. 1 overall prospect. Yet, there was

BALTIMORE -- James McCann took a 94.6 mph fastball to the face, potentially sustained a broken nose, bled all over the field and onto his jersey, had a swollen left eye making it difficult to see -- and then played eight more innings of baseball at catcher, the most physically

MIAMI -- Baltimore infielder Jorge Mateo, who exited the series opener in Miami on Tuesday with a left elbow injury, will be out for “some time,” manager Brandon Hyde announced following the Orioles’ 6-3 loss on Wednesday night. Mateo was in the O's clubhouse at loanDepot park on Thursday morning

MIAMI -- Every once in a while a play gives you full-body chills -- and not the good kind. Such happened on Tuesday in Miami for the Orioles, when second baseman Jorge Mateo and shortstop Gunnar Henderson collided while going for a ball up the middle in the third inning

BALTIMORE -- Things finally seemed like they could be trending upward for the Orioles. Manager Brandon Hyde arrived at Camden Yards on Saturday to good news -- Heston Kjerstad appeared to be OK and was ready to spring right back into action after taking a 96.8 mph pitch to the

NEW YORK -- For the third time in 17 days, an Orioles starting pitcher underwent a procedure on his ulnar collateral ligament. The latest to do so marked the biggest blow to the rotation yet. On Wednesday evening at Yankee Stadium, general manager Mike Elias announced that right-hander Kyle Bradish

BALTIMORE -- John Means' baseball career was always improbable, but it’s maybe never been more uncertain. Facing his second grueling, 18-month elbow rehab in two years, Means is unlikely to return to a Major League mound until late 2025 or potentially early ‘26. But the Orioles’ longest-tenured starter, and their

BALTIMORE -- Eventually, the Orioles wound up on the short end of a wild, 5-3 extra-innings loss to the Phillies on Friday night at Camden Yards. But it was what they lost earlier in the game that has them more worried long term. Right-hander Kyle Bradish's status is uncertain after

BALTIMORE -- Over the past few weeks, the Orioles’ starting pitching landscape was seemingly getting a bit crowded. They were finally close to full strength, sparking internal conversations about shifting to a six-man rotation at some point in June. On Friday, Baltimore’s pitching staff was dealt a pair of big

CHICAGO -- The Orioles had good fortune in 2023, largely staying healthy en route to a 101-win season and AL East title. Baltimore is off to another strong start in 2024, but this time, its pitching depth is being tested early, Dean Kremer landed on the 15-day injured list Friday

BALTIMORE -- Just as the Orioles’ rotation was nearing full strength, the team’s pitching staff was dealt an unexpected big blow Wednesday afternoon. Baltimore placed right-hander Grayson Rodriguez on the 15-day injured list with right shoulder inflammation. It was a surprising move after the 24-year-old tossed 5 2/3 scoreless innings

BALTIMORE -- The first six pitches to leave Craig Kimbrel’s right hand at the start of the ninth inning on Sunday afternoon were balls, and Orioles manager Brandon Hyde could tell something might be wrong. The 35-year-old closer’s body movement seemed a bit off. “The way he was walking around

BALTIMORE -- Kyle Bradish has taken more encouraging steps in his recovery from a right UCL sprain. On Tuesday night, the Orioles right-hander made his first rehab start for Double-A Bowie, where he tossed three scoreless innings vs. Altoona. More important than the results, Bradish came out of the outing

SARASOTA, Fla. -- On Thursday, manager Brandon Hyde said it was a “little too early” in Spring Training to tell if John Means could be part of the Orioles’ Opening Day rotation. But the skipper assumes the group of five starters will not include the 30-year-old left-hander, who began his

SARASOTA, Fla. -- The Orioles should have their new ace ready to go for the start of the 2024 season. However, their returning No. 1 starter will not be part of the Opening Day rotation. While Corbin Burnes joined his new Baltimore teammates for the first day of Spring Training

BALTIMORE -- Félix Bautista will not pitch for the Orioles again in 2023 -- and he's unlikely to in the ‘24 season, either. On Saturday, Baltimore general manager Mike Elias announced that Bautista is scheduled to undergo Tommy John surgery, which will be performed by Dr. Keith Meister during the
