Overview

  • O’Neill was activated off the 10-day injured list on July 4, making his first major-league appearance since May 15 following a left shoulder impingement.
  • He missed 43 games in his second IL stint of the season after first dealing with neck inflammation in April and early May.
  • Baltimore cleared a roster spot by optioning outfielder Dylan Carlson to Triple-A Norfolk ahead of O’Neill’s return.
  • O’Neill’s three-year, $49.5 million contract includes a player opt-out after this season, tying his second-half output to his future decisions.
  • Through 24 games this year, O’Neill has hit .188 with two home runs and a .605 OPS, underscoring concerns over his consistency.
