Overview
- Samuel Basallo was placed on the seven-day concussion injured list retroactive to Sept. 22, ending his season after 112 games with a .222 average, 18 home runs and 54 RBIs.
- Basallo exited Monday’s game after taking a foul tip to his mask and failed portions of concussion testing, the team said.
- The Orioles recalled outfielder Heston Kjerstad from Triple-A Norfolk to the active roster and will use Carlos Narvaez behind the plate while Basallo is sidelined.
- Infielder Jackson Holliday was diagnosed with a partial TFCC tear and is scheduled for wrist surgery next week with an expected recovery of about 10 weeks.
- Reports say assistant general manager Sig Mejdal left the analytics group, a front-office change that adds off-field uncertainty as the club closes a season with slim playoff odds.
