Baltimore Orioles News & Updates

Keegan Akin's Tommy John surgery looms over the Orioles as they gear up for a pivotal stretch that could dictate their trade deadline moves. With a record sitting at 46-51, Baltimore's pitching depth takes a hit, raising concerns about how they'll address their third base issue, potentially eyeing a reunion with former top prospect Joey Ortiz. Amidst this uncertainty, Adley Rutschman continues to focus on the present, deflecting trade talk but knowing that a decision on his future is inevitable. As the team prepares for the second half of the season, fans are left weighing over/unders on their playoff chances, but with the pitching staff allowing just 3.6 runs per game over the last week, there's a glimmer of hope. The next few games will be critical, as they might determine whether the O's will buy or sell at the deadline.
