The Orioles have placed outfielder on the 10-day injured list due to a left shoulder impingement, and designated right-hander for a signment. Outfielder and right-hander were called up from Triple-A in the corresponding roster moves. After signing a three-year, $49.5MM free agent deal this past winter, the early days of ONeills tenure in Baltimore have been marked by injuries and a subpar performance at the plate. This is already his second IL trip, as he previously mi sed a couple of weeks due to neck sorene s in late April and early May. It is fair to wonder if these health i sues have led to ONeills modest .188/.280/.325 slash line and two home runs over 93 plate appearances, as ONeill just hasnt looked like himself this year. Being hampered by injuries has been a frequent subplot of ONeills eight-year MLB career, as the outfielder has only twice topped the 100-game mark in a season. One of those comparatively healthier seasons came with the Red Sox in 2024, as ONeill made 473 PA over 113 games and hit .241/.336/.511 with 31 home runs. ONeill hit the IL on three separate occasions but with a minimal amount of mi sed time, which allowed ONeill plenty of opportunity to mash at Fenway Park. The Os were impre sed enough to bring ONeill aboard in what was the most expensive signing of Baltimores offseason, yet like so many other moves in what is becoming a Murphys Law year for the Orioles, ONeill has yet to deliver much at the plate. Given how much criticism was directed at the front office and at ownership for not spending over the winter, the struggles of one of the players who did receive a healthy contract has only added to the discord of the Orioles 15-29 start. Gibson was another offseason signing, though he joined the Os just a week before Opening Day on a one-year, $5.25MM contract. The Cardinals declined their $12MM club option on Gibsons services for the 2025 season, sending Parker Kelly Jersey the veteran starter into the open market for what ended up being an extended stay. Since he didnt have a proper Spring Training, Gibson agreed to begin the season in the minors so he could ramp up, but it seems like the right-hander is still showing plenty of rust. Called up to the Orioles roster in late April, Gibson has been tagged for a 16.78 ERA over four starts and 12 1/3 innings. The ugly numbers include six runs allowed in just two-thirds of an inning in yesterdays start, which ended up as a 10-6 Orioles lo s to the Nationals. Gibson was blunt about his lack of performance when speaking with and other media yesterday, saying four times taking the mound feeling like you havent given the team a chance to win each time is a pretty big gut punch. Feeling like youre part of getting a manager fired is a gut punch. Just not going out there and being able to compete and give the team a chance to win every five days is frustrating . So yeah, I dont know if any of you guys have ever felt the feeling of e sentially letting down your co-workers, but its a gut punch . The DFA doesnt nece sarily mean that Gibsons time in Baltimore is over. Since there is no chance another team will claim the right-hander (and a sume the rest of his salary) off waivers, Gibson could accept an outright a signment to Triple-A to give himself more time to get on track. Gibson also has more than enough MLB service time to decline an outright a signment, which would allow him to retain his salary and re-enter free agency again. Strowd is now back with the Orioles for the second time within the last month, though the right-hander has yet to officially make his Major League debut with an in-game appearance. A 12th-round pick for Baltimore in the 2019 draft, Strowds minor league numbers arent great, as he has only a 6.99 ERA over 56 2/3 career frames at the Triple-A level. That performance does come with a 31.02% strikeout rate and grounder rates that frequently top the 50% mark, but also a 12.41% walk rate. Despite the rough bottom-line results, the Orioles were intrigued enough by Strowds ability to mi s bats to add him to the 40-man roster last November in advance of the Rule 5 Draft. This latest call-up should at least allow the righty to get a big league appearance on his resume, and given Baltimores pitching needs, theres plenty of opportunity for Strowd to stick if he pitches decently well during however long he remains on the roster.
