  • 31-26-3 5th Place
    • Exits starting nine
      Cooper is out of the lineup for Monday's game against the Rays, Chris Cotillo of The Springfield Republican reports.

      Advice: Cooper enjoyed a productive weekend in the Red Sox's series victory over the Nationals, starting in two of the three contests while producing three hits (two doubles, one single), one run and one RBI over six at-bats. He'll cede first base to Dominic Smith on Monday, but Cooper still looks to be locked into a near-everyday role for the Red Sox until Triston Casas (rib) returns from the injured list.

    • Heston Kjerstad sent down to Triple-A
      Orioles optioned OF Heston Kjerstad to Triple-A Norfolk.

      Advice: Well, now we have the corresponding roster move for the Kyle Stowers promotion. Kjerstad got just 17 plate appearances in this stint in the big leagues, going 2-for-14 with six strikeouts and two walks. It’s likely the Orioles simply wanted him to go back to the minors to get everyday at-bats. Stowers is hitting just .240 in Triple-A; although, he does have 11 home runs, but as a 26-year-old, the Orioles likely feel more comfortable with him operating as a strictly bench bat.

    • Promotion official
      The Orioles recalled Stowers from Triple-A Norfolk on Monday.

      Advice: Baltimore cleared room on the 26-man active roster for Stowers by optioning outfielder/first baseman Heston Kjerstad to Triple-A in a corresponding move. Stowers, 26, is joining the big club for the first time this season, but he saw action with the Orioles during the 2022 and 2023 campaigns and owns a collective .207/.267/.331 in 131 career big-league plate appearances. He'll likely serve as a depth outfielder while he's up with the Orioles and could be sent back to Triple-A once Austin Hays (calf) is ready to return from the injured list.

    • Return to minor leagues
      The Orioles optioned Kjerstad to Triple-A Norfolk on Monday.

      Advice: Kjerstad's stint with the big club came and went with a relative whimper, as Baltimore didn't give him many opportunities after he was called up from Triple-A on April 23. He made just four starts during his 17-game stay in the majors, recording a pair of base hits and two walks over 17 plate appearances. The Orioles remain at close to full health in the infield and outfield and don't have an opening in the lineup for Kjerstad at the moment, so the 25-year-old will move back to Norfolk so that he can play on an everyday basis. Baltimore called up outfielder Kyle Stowers from Triple-A to take Kjerstad's spot on the 26-man active roster. Rotowire.com 16 minutes ago
       
    • Runs bases Sunday
      LeMahieu (foot) ran the bases Sunday and will take live batting practice again Tuesday, per the Associated Press.

      Advice: Running the bases is a significant step in LeMahieu's recovery from a non-displaced fracture of his right foot. The veteran infielder has also been taking batting practice and fielding ground balls, and he could re-start a minor-league rehab assignment soon. LeMahieu had begun a rehab stint April 23 but had to be pulled after just one inning due to experiencing soreness in the injured foot. Rotowire.com 20 minutes ago

    • Scooped up by Baltimore
      The Orioles claimed Martin off waivers from the Brewers on Monday and optioned him to Triple-A Norfolk, Dan Connolly of The Athletic reports.

      Advice: Martin missed the 2023 season following lat surgery, and all nine of his 2024 appearances have come at the Triple-A level, where he's posted a 7.20 ERA and 10:13 K:BB over 10 frames. The 28-year-old has previously worked mostly as a starter but has been used exclusively in relief this season. Rotowire.com 47 minutes ago

    • Swats first big-league homer
      Jones went 1-for-2 with a solo home run and a walk against the Rays in Sunday's 10-6 victory.

      Advice: Jones enjoyed a career milestone when he belted a solo shot in the third inning for his first major-league home run. It was a rare opportunity for him to make an impact -- though Jones has stuck on the Yankees' roster throughout the campaign, Sunday marked just his second start, and he's seen only 10 plate appearances overall. Jones has gone 2-for-8 with a walk and a hit-by-pitch in his limited turns at the dish. Rotowire.com Today, 10:45 am
       
    • Returns from IL
      Triple-A Nashville reinstated Roller (undisclosed) from its 7-day injured list Wednesday.

      Advice: Roller has gone 2-for-12 with two doubles, one walk, one RBI and two runs in his first three games back in action for Nashville. He was sidelined for just under a month due to the unspecified injury. Rotowire.com Today, 10:35 am
       
    • Orioles calling up Stowers from Triple-A
      The Orioles are calling up Kyle Stowers from Triple-A in advance of Monday’s game.

      Advice: The timing here is surprising, given that Austin Hays is about ready to return from the injured list. Perhaps someone is hurt. The Orioles should be about ready to return Heston Kjerstad to the minors, as little as he’s playing, but that figured to be the countermove for Hays. If there is no injury, Stowers wouldn’t seem to have much of a path to playing time. Rotoworld Today, 10:30 am
