Orioles' Shane Baz: Hit Hard in Fourth Loss
Rotowire | May 10, 2026
Baz (1-4) took the loss Wednesday as the Orioles were downed 6-2 by the A's, coughing up five runs on five hits and three walks over 4.2 innings. He struck out five.
Three of the five hits off the right-hander went for extra bases, including a three-run blast by Brent Rooker in the third inning that effectively put the game out of reach.
Baz has been tagged for at least four earned runs in four of his last five outings, a stretch in which he's stumbled to a 6.04 ERA, 1.55 WHIP and 25:14 K:BB over 28.1 innings. He'll look to turn things around in his next trip to the mound, which lines up to come on the road next weekend against the Nationals.
Orioles' Jackson Holliday: Getting Rehab Reps at Hot Corner
Rotowire | May 9, 2026
Holliday (hand) will play at third base in his rehab assignment with Double-A Chesapeake on Sunday, Jacob Calvin Meyer of The Baltimore Sun reports.
Orioles manager Craig Albernaz clarified Saturday that it won't be a permanent move to third base for Holliday once the latter comes back from his rehab assignment, but it does give the big club some flexibility in the infield.
Holliday resumed his rehab assignment Thursday and has gone 0-for-4 with three walks, two strikeouts and a run scored in his last two outings in Double-A.

Westburg will have a follow-up appointment for his right elbow sprain Monday, Jake Rill of MLB.com reports.
Westburg was progressing in his recovery from a partially torn UCL in his right elbow but was shut down from throwing earlier this week after reporting discomfort. Monday's appointment with medical staff should give the Orioles more clarity on Westburg's setback and a recovery timeline.
