Overview

  • Félix Bautista was retroactively placed on the 15-day injured list effective July 21 after feeling right shoulder discomfort during the seventh inning of the July 23 game in Cleveland.
  • An MRI is scheduled for Friday in Baltimore to determine the extent of Bautista’s shoulder issue and expected recovery timeline.
  • Right-hander Kade Strowd was recalled in a corresponding move to bolster a relief corps already stretched by injuries.
  • Interim manager Tony Mansolino has installed a committee-closer system with Seranthony Domínguez and Yennier Cano atop the late-inning pecking order.
  • With 15 players now on the injured list and the team outside wild-card contention, the Orioles are widely expected to sell assets ahead of the July 31 trade deadline.
