Orioles Reinstate Heston Kjerstad and Jacob Webb from Injured List

Kjerstad returns from concussion with hopes of boosting Baltimore's slumping offense ahead of postseason push.

  • Heston Kjerstad, the Orioles' former top prospect, was activated after missing over a month due to concussion symptoms.
  • Kjerstad, who was hit in the head by a pitch in July, underwent a successful rehab stint and is now back to full health.
  • Jacob Webb, a key reliever for the Orioles, also returned from the IL after dealing with right elbow inflammation.
  • Baltimore designated left-hander Cole Irvin and infielder Nick Maton for assignment to make room on the roster.
  • The Orioles are struggling offensively, scoring only 21 runs in their last 10 games, and hope Kjerstad and Webb can provide a much-needed boost as they aim for a playoff spot.
