  • Kyle Bradish undergoes Tommy John surgery
    The Orioles announced on Wednesday that Kyle Bradish underwent successful Tommy John reconstructive elbow surgery with an internal brace procedure on Wednesday in Dallas.

    Advice: The 27-year-old right-hander will obviously miss the remainder of the 2024 season and will miss at least the first half of the 2025 campaign as well while recovering from the surgery. Fantasy managers in season-long leagues can safely cut bait now. He finishes the 2024 season with a 2.75 ERA, 1.07 WHIP and a 53/15 K/BB ratio over 39 1/3 innings in his eight starts.

  • Goes yard twice in loss
    Harper went 2-for-4 with two solo home runs in Wednesday's 5-2 loss to the Padres.

    Advice: The 31-year-old slugger supplied all the Phillies' offense on the afternoon, taking Matt Waldron deep in the third inning before pulling a Jeremiah Estrada splitter down the right-field line in the eighth. Harper has caught fire in June, hitting safely in 10 of the last 11 games while batting .372 (16-for-43). The surge has boosted his slash line on the season to .285/.391/.539 with 17 homers, four steals, 45 runs and 48 RBI in 69 contests. Rotowire.com 10 minutes ago
     
  • Sitting Wednesday
    Smith isn't in the Dodgers' lineup for Wednesday's game against the Rockies, Juan Toribio of MLB.com reports.

    Advice: Smith will get a chance to clear his head Wednesday after going just 1-for-18 at the plate over his last five games. Austin Barnes will take over behind the dish while batting ninth. Rotowire.com 10 minutes ago
     
  • Undergoes Tommy John surgery
    Bradish underwent Tommy John surgery with an internal brace Wednesday, Danielle Allentuck of TheBaltimoreBanner.com reports.

    Advice: Bradish was first diagnosed with a partial UCL tear in his elbow in mid-February, and while his initial rehab was successful -- he posted a 2.75 ERA and 53:15 K:BB over 39.1 innings covering eight starts -- he recent had a setback and the decision was made to have the surgery. Orioles general manager Mike Elias said Wednesday that he expects Bradish to miss 12-to-18 months, leaving the right-hander's 2025 season in doubt. Rotowire.com 11 minutes ago
     
  • Settles for no-decision Wednesday
    Suarez came away with a no-decision in Wednesday's 5-2 loss to the Padres, allowing one run on six hits over six innings. He struck out four without walking a batter.

    Advice: The lefty was sharp as he delivered his 10th quality start of the season, firing 67 of 94 pitches for strikes, but he was locked in a pitchers' duel with Matt Waldron until the Phillies' bullpen and defense faltered after Suarez left the mound. The 28-year-old will take a 1.75 ERA, 0.89 WHIP and 95:19 K:BB through 92.1 innings into his next outing, which is scheduled to come on the road early next week in Detroit.

  • Danny Coulombe has bone chips removed from elbow
    Danny Coulombe underwent a successful procedure to have bone chips removed from his left elbow.

    Advice: The 34-year-old southpaw is hopeful that he’ll be able to return to the Orioles’ bullpen at some point in September. Before landing on the injured list with left elbow inflammation, Coulombe had registered an outsanding 2.42 ERA, 0.62 WHIP and a 28/3 K/BB ratio over 26 innings in 29 appearances out of the O’s bullpen this season.

  • Dean Kremer to make rehab start on Saturday
    Dean Kremer (triceps) will make his next minor league rehab start at Triple-A Norfolk on Saturday.

    Advice: Kremer went just 3 2/3 innings in his first rehab start, allowing five runs (two earned) on four hits and a walk while striking out three. It’s likely that the Orioles will want him to go around five innings in Saturday’s start. If all goes well there, he could potentially be cleared to rejoin the O’s rotation next week.

  • Belts eighth homer
    Merrill went 2-for-3 with a solo home run and a second run scored in Wednesday's 5-2 win over the Phillies.

    Advice: The rookie center fielder accounted for the Padres' only run off Ranger Suarez, driving a two-seam fastball from the southpaw over the right-field wall in the second inning. Merrill has eight homers on the year, but five of them have come in the last seven games, boosting his slash line on the season to .279/.317/.417 with nine steals, 30 RBI and 32 runs in 74 contests.
