Orioles Claim Shawn Dubin, Reinstate Kyle Bradish After 40-Man Shuffle

The move gives Baltimore a chance to evaluate a controllable arm for 2026 bullpen depth.

Overview

  • Baltimore claimed right-hander Shawn Dubin off waivers days after Houston designated him for assignment.
  • Kyle Bradish was reinstated from the 60-day injured list, with Matt Bowman designated for assignment to open an active roster spot.
  • Scott Blewett was transferred to the 60-day injured list to create 40-man space for the transactions.
  • Dubin is out of minor-league options and must occupy an active roster spot once he reports to the Orioles.
  • The club’s relief corps has been thinned by deadline trades and Félix Bautista’s recent shoulder surgery, and Dubin arrives with a 5.61 ERA over 25 2/3 Astros innings in 2025 after shoulder and forearm IL stints.
