Baltimore Orioles outfielder Tyler O'Neill (wrist) is on track to return to the team on Friday night when they start their series against the Blue Jays. Interim manager Tony Mansolino said that O'Neill could be activated if all went well on Thursday in his rehab start in Triple-A Norfolk, and O'Neill crushed a home run in the third inning while going 1-for-4. O'Neill has been limited to only 43 games this season for the Orioles, posting a disappointing .210/.293/.434 with eight homers, 23 RBI, 20 runs scored, and two stolen bases in 164 plate appearances. He has missed over a month with wrist inflammation, but will look to end the season on a high note by playing the last few weeks as a healthy contributor. Before the year, he signed a three-year deal with Baltimore, and it seems unlikely he would exercise his player opt-out after this season, making him a part of the O's plans for next year when he'll hope for a much healthier campaign.

Baltimore Orioles outfielder Tyler O'Neill (wrist) is expected to participate in all baseball activities this weekend before embarking on a minor-league rehab assignment. O'Neill has already missed almost a month after going on the 10-day injured list retroactive to Aug. 6 with inflammation in his right wrist. The offseason free-agent pickup has been on the IL two other times - once for neck inflammation, once for a shoulder impingement - and has played in just 43 games in his first year with the Orioles. When he has been in the lineup, the 30-year-old slugger has hit a disappointing .210/.293/.434 with eight homers, 23 RBI, 20 runs scored, and two stolen bases in 164 plate appearances. Even if O'Neill makes it back sometime this month, 2025 will largely go down as a lost season for him.

Baltimore Orioles outfielder Tyler O'Neill (wrist) recently received an injection in his injured right wrist. The hope is that he will feel good enough to begin swinging a bat this weekend, as he continues to work his way back from inflammation in his wrist. O'Neill hasn't played since August 5, when he exited a game early due to right wrist discomfort. In his first season as a member of the Orioles, he has struggled to remain on the field, as he has only played in 43 games in 2025. While he has shown some power at the plate with eight home runs hit this year, his inability to stay healthy remains his biggest downfall, as this is his third time on the Injured List this season. He is expected to return to the Baltimore lineup this season, though time is running out for him to be a meaningful contributor down the stretch.

Baltimore Orioles outfielder Tyler O'Neill (wrist) started baseball activities, including throwing, on Monday and was almost pain-free, per MASN's Roch Kubatko. O'Neill was placed on the 10-day injured list retroactive to August 6 with right wrist inflammation. The 30-year-old said he wasn't sure if he would be ready to return on his September 1 date or if he would need a rehab assignment. As throughout his career, O'Neill has made three trips to the IL this season, each for a different injury. Perhaps it has been the numerous injuries, but O'Neill hasn't gotten things going offensively this season, slashing .210/.293/.434 with eight home runs, 23 RBI, and two stolen bases in 164 plate appearances.

Baltimore Orioles outfielders Colton Cowser (concussion) and Tyler O'Neill (wrist) aren't quite ready to return from the injured list yet. On Wednesday, O's interim manager Tony Mansolino said Cowser won't be activated from the 7-day concussion list when first eligible on Thursday. The left-handed slugger is still going through concussion protocol, so he can't be activated until he has cleared that. As for O'Neill, he'll likely be sidelined until late August or early September. He's eligible to be activated off the injured list this weekend, but hasn't been making great progress in his recovery from his right wrist injury. He'll likely require a rehab assignment before being cleared to return to the O's lineup. Fantasy managers shouldn't be shocked if O'Neill is out until early September.

The Baltimore Orioles placed both outfielders Colton Cowser (concussion) and Tyler O'Neill (wrist) on the injured list on Friday and also recalled outfielder Jordyn Adams from Triple-A Norfolk in a corresponding move. Cowser was placed on the seven-day concussion injured list, while O'Neill is on the 10-day IL. The O's recently traded away center fielder Cedric Mullins, so combined with the injuries to Cowser and O'Neill, Baltimore will be forced to start Dylan Carlson, Greg Allen and Ryan Noda across the outfield from left to right field on Friday against the Athletics. Jeremiah Jackson could also see more opportunities in the next week to two weeks. Both Cowser and O'Neill have been fantasy disappointments for the struggling O's this year, with Cowser hitting just .213 with nine homers and six steals and O'Neill batting .210 with eight homers on the season.

Baltimore Orioles outfielder Tyler O'Neill (wrist) is out of the lineup Wednesday against Philadelphia Phillies left-hander Ranger Suarez. Jeremiah Jackson will play right field in place of O'Neill and hit fifth. O'Neill is sitting out after leaving early on Tuesday with discomfort in his right wrist. X-rays came back negative after the game, but O'Neill is now wearing a soft brace on his wrist and is considered day-to-day, Roch Kubatko of MASNSports.com reports. This has been a rough and injury-plagued season for O'Neill, who joined the Orioles in free agency after slugging 31 home runs for the Boston Red Sox in 2024. He has appeared in just 43 games and hit .210/.293/.434 with eight homers, 23 RBI, 20 runs scored, and two steals in 164 plate appearances.

Baltimore Orioles outfielder Tyler O'Neill (wrist) exited Tuesday's game against the Phillies in the bottom of the sixth inning with right-wrist discomfort. He was replaced in right field by 29-year-old Ryan Noda. O'Neill went 0-for-2 with a popout and a groundout before leaving. The 29-year-old slugger from Canada is slashing .210/.293/.434 with eight home runs through 43 games. He has struggled to stay in the lineup consistently, and with his health once again in question, the Orioles will be without one of their top right-handed power threats for at least the near future.UPDATE: O'Neill said X-rays came back negative on his wrist after he jammed it on the wall. He taped up his wrist and had another at-bat before eventually being pulled from Tuesday's game. O'Neill will see how he feels on Wednesday.

Baltimore Orioles outfielder Tyler O'Neill (illness) is serving as the designated hitter and is batting fifth for Monday's series opener in Philadelphia against the Phillies and left-hander Jesus Luzardo. Jeremiah Jackson will make his fourth straight start and will be in right field and in the six-hole. A minor illness kept O'Neill out on Saturday and Sunday against the Chicago Cubs, but he'll return for the first game of a new series in Philly. The Canadian power/speed threat has struggled with injuries in his first year in Baltimore and has played in just 41 games, going 29-for-138 (.210) with only seven home runs and 21 RBI in 159 plate appearances. He's been a big disappointment for fantasy managers after he reached the 30-homer mark for the second time in his career with Boston in 2024. O'Neill has only faced Luzardo twice in his career but has a hit and an RBI.

The Baltimore Orioles scratched outfielder Tyler O'Neill (illness) because of an illness on Saturday against the Chicago Cubs. Gunnar Henderson will DH in O'Neill's place and hit third, and Luis Vazquez will handle shortstop and occupy the No. 9 position in the lineup. O'Neill struggled mightily earlier in the year and has missed a significant amount of time with injuries, but he has found his power stroke again over the past month. Since July 4, the 30-year-old has gone 14-for-58 with five homers, 11 RBI, and 10 runs scored in 17 games.

Baltimore Orioles outfielder Tyler O'Neill (soreness) is back in right field and will bat fifth for Thursday's contest against the hosting Cleveland Guardians and left-hander Logan Allen at Progressive Field. The Orioles held O'Neill out of the lineup the last few games due to general soreness, but he's feeling better for the series finale against the Guards. Fantasy manager will probably be keeping the 30-year-old Canadian on their benches until he shows some signs of life at the plate. It's been an injury-riddled and disappointing season for him in his first year in Baltimore, as he enters Thursday's tilt slashing an ugly .177/.264/.319 with a career-low .582 OPS, three home runs, 11 RBI, 12 runs and two steals in just 33 games played. He's also hitless in three career at-bats against Allen.

Baltimore Orioles outfielder Tyler O'Neill (soreness) remains out of the starting lineup ahead of Wednesday's game against the Cleveland Guardians. O'Neill will miss his second straight game while he deals with general soreness. Interim manager Tony Mansolino did mention that O'Neill is available off the bench during Wednesday's contest. He also mentioned that O'Neill is trending towards playing in Thursday's game. Jackson Holliday will serve as the designated hitter while Ramon Laureano plays right field on Wednesday.

Baltimore Orioles interim manager Tony Mansolino said that outfielder Tyler O'Neill (soreness) was not in Tuesday's lineup against the Guardians due to "general soreness," per Baltimore Sun's Matt Weyrich. The 30-year-old has spent several stints on the injured list this season with neck inflammation and a left-shoulder impingement. He has also produced little offensively, slashing just .177/.264/.319 with three home runs, 11 RBI, and two stolen bases in 129 plate appearances. The O's have good depth in the corner outfield spots, so O'Neill currently offers little fantasy value, even when he is in the lineup.

Baltimore Orioles outfielder Tyler O'Neill (shoulder) will come off the injured list when the team begins a series against the Atlanta Braves on Friday, according to Sam Cohn of the Baltimore Sun. O'Neill has been out of action since going on the 10-day IL with a left shoulder impingement on May 18. The 30-year-old has also spent time on the IL this season with a neck injury. When he has been healthy enough to play, O'Neill has posted a miserable .188/.280/.325 line with two home runs, 10 RBI, and two stolen bases across 24 games and 93 plate appearances. O'Neill has upside as a two-time 30-HR hitter, including last season with Boston, and will try to regain that form upon his return.

Baltimore Orioles outfielder Tyler O'Neill (shoulder) is reporting to Triple-A Norfolk on his minor-league rehab assignment, and the Orioles think he could be reinstated from the 10-day injured list on their current road trip, which ends this Sunday, July 6. In six rehab games, O'Neill has gone 4-for-18 with a home run and nine strikeouts as he rehabs from a left-shoulder injury that he suffered in early June. The 30-year-old Canadian has had a miserable first year in Baltimore to this point, playing in only 24 games and going 15-for-80 (.188) at the plate with two home runs, 10 RBI, two steals and 27 strikeouts in 93 trips to the plate. When he does come off the IL, O'Neill should see regular playing time for the O's in left field as he tries to stay on the field and turn things around offensively. O'Neill has two 30-homer seasons in his career, with one of them coming in 2024 with the Boston Red Sox.

Baltimore Orioles outfielder Tyler O'Neill (shoulder) is back on the comeback trail from his left shoulder impingement that landed him on the injured list on May 18. He started his rehab in the first week of June but was shut down to receive an anti-inflammatory injection and was shut down for a week. He returned to action on Sunday in Single-A after an 11-day break and went 1-for-3. He said he's feeling much better during this ramp-up and will head to play for the Double-A Chesapeake Baysox. He still doesn't have a concrete timetable for a return, but there is optimism he could be back before the end of June or early in July if his rehab goes well. O'Neill has been limited to just 24 games with the O's this season and is hitting .188 with a .266 wOBA, two home runs and two stolen bases in his limited time available.

Baltimore Orioles outfielder Tyler O'Neill (shoulder) is set to resume his rehab assignment on Sunday with High-A Aberdeen. O'Neill has been dealing with some soreness in his shoulder, which has halted his rehab assignment. However, the 30-year-old appears to be back on track. Fantasy managers should continue to monitor his status, as he could be activated from the 10-day IL in the coming weeks. O'Neill initially hit the injured list with a left shoulder impingement on May 18. Before his injury, O'Neill was off to a slow start to the campaign, posting a .188/.280/.325 slash line with two home runs and two stolen bases through 24 contests. When he returns to Baltimore, fantasy managers should expect him to have close to an everyday role in the starting nine.

The Baltimore Orioles pulled outfielder Tyler O'Neill (shoulder) off his Triple-A rehab assignment on Saturday, according to Jake Rill of MLB.com. He received an injection in his ailing left AC joint and will be shut down for approximately one week. O'Neill went to the 10-day injured list with a shoulder impingement on May 18. He had made progress in his recovery until he began to feel soreness earlier this week. After this latest development, it's clear the 29-year-old won't make an imminent return to the majors. O'Neill pounded 31 home runs with the Boston Red Sox last season, leading the Orioles to hand him a three-year, $49.5 million guarantee in free agency. It hasn't worked out so far. O'Neill has been on the IL twice (once for neck soreness) and has batted just .188/.280/.325 line with two homers in 93 plate appearances. He won't be able to improve on those numbers for the foreseeable future.

MASN's Roch Kubatko reports that Baltimore Orioles outfielder Tyler O'Neill (shoulder) is getting a few days of rest on his minor-league rehab assignment with Triple-A Norfolk as he works through left-shoulder soreness. Thursday will be O'Neill's second straight day off with the Tides. In the 29-year-old's three rehab games, he's gone 4-for-10 at the plate. He began his rehab assignment as a designated hitter but has played in right field his last two starts. O'Neill landed on the 10-day injured list a month ago with a left-shoulder impingement, and it's not a good sign that he's still having issues with it. The oft-injured outfielder should have a regular role in Baltimore's outfield when he recovers, but he was hitting just .188 (15-for-80) with two home runs, 10 RBI and 27 strikeouts in 93 trips to the plate over 24 games at the time of his injury.

Baltimore Orioles outfielder Tyler O'Neill (shoulder) is scheduled to begin a minor-league rehab assignment this weekend, according to The Baltimore Banner's Andy Kostka. O'Neill is expected to join Triple-A Norfolk as he wraps up his rehab from a left-shoulder impingement. Barring a setback for the oft-injured 29-year-old outfielder, O'Neill could rejoin the big-league roster at some point next week. The Canadian has an enticing power profile after hitting 30-plus home runs for the second time in his career in 2024 with Boston, but he also continues to battle nagging injuries and was slashing just .188/.280/.325 with a career-worst .605 OPS with two homers, 10 RBI and 27 strikeouts in 93 trips to the plate in his first 24 games with the O's before getting injured. O'Neill figures to play regularly when he returns from the IL.
