  • Serving as 27th man Wednesday
    The Orioles recalled Vespi from Triple-A Norfolk and designated him as the 27th man for Wednesday's game against the Cardinals, Roch Kubatko of MASNSports.com reports.

    Advice: Because the Orioles and Cardinals resumed Tuesday's suspended game earlier Wednesday, both teams were allotted a 27th man for the contest that was initially scheduled for Wednesday. Vespi will provide the Orioles with a fresh arm out of the bullpen for the series finale but will likely be returned to Norfolk immediately following the game. Rotowire.com 21 minutes ago
     
  • Orioles add Nick Vespi as 27th man
    Nick Vespi has been added as the Orioles’ 27th man for Wednesday’s game against the Cardinals.

    Advice: Both teams get a 27th man for the regularly scheduled game as a result of having to finish last night’s suspended game today. Vespi, who had a 4.17 ERA in 41 innings of relief for the Orioles between 2022 and ’23, has yet to pitch in the majors this season. Rotoworld 22 minutes ago
     
  • Could return this weekend
    Maeda (illness) could rejoin the Tigers' rotation Saturday or Sunday versus the Blue Jays, Evan Petzold of the Detroit Free Press reports.

    Advice: Petzold notes that Maeda is lined up to pitch one of those days this weekend, but the Tigers have not yet divulged any official plans on that front. The right-hander has been on the shelf since mid-May with a viral illness but made a rehab start this past weekend and got through a bullpen session Wednesday with no concerns. Matt Manning is slated to make another start for Detroit on Friday but could be sent back down after that to make room for Maeda in the rotation. Rotowire.com 22 minutes ago

  • Nolan Gorman homers to lead Cardinals past Orioles
    Nolan Gorman hit a two-run homer after play resumed Wednesday as the Cardinals beat the Orioles 3-1 in Tuesday’s suspended game.

    Advice: Gorman also doubled in the Cardinals’ lone run before play was halted in a 1-1 game last night. The homer today came immediately came right after play resumed in the bottom of the sixth and made a winner of Lance Lynn, who pitched six innings of one-run ball last night. Gorman has four homers and 10 RBI in his last 11 games. His OPS has jumped from .575 to .724 during that span, and he should probably be picked up in leagues in which he was dropped.

  • Ryan Helsley notches 15th save
    Ryan Helsley picked up his 15th save Wednesday after play resumed in Tuesday’s suspended game versus the Orioles.

  • Works in relief Sunday
    Irvin appeared out of the bullpen in Sunday's 6-3 win over the Mariners, collecting his first hold of the season while working around one hit and allowing no walks in two scoreless innings.

    Advice: Despite posting a 2.90 ERA while starting in his first seven appearances of the season, Irvin was moved to the bullpen over the weekend while the Orioles were able to get by with a shortened rotation due to off days last Tuesday and Thursday. According to Jacob Calvin Meyer of The Baltimore Sun, manager Brandon Hyde suggested that Irvin won't be a regular member of the bullpen moving forward, as the Orioles plan to move back to a six-man rotation while they're now in the midst of a stretch of 30 games in 31 days. Per Jake Rill of MLB.com, Irvin isn't scheduled to start any of the Orioles' remaining five games this week, but the southpaw could re-enter the rotation next week or the week after.

  • Bullpen session pushed to Thursday
    Olson (hip) is slated to throw a bullpen session Thursday and is on track to make his scheduled start this weekend against the Blue Jays, Evan Petzold of the Detroit Free Press reports.

    Advice: The Tigers initially said Olson would throw off a mound Wednesday, but he it will be pushed back one day. Olson had to exit his outing Monday versus the Royals after being struck on the right hip by a comebacker. Detroit fully expects the righty to be ready for his start this weekend, but he'll need to get through Thursday's mound session before that's official. Rotowire.com 35 minutes ago
