O'Neill signed a three-year, $49.5 million contract with the Orioles on Saturday, Jon Heyman of the New York Post reports. O'Neill enjoyed a resurgent campaign after moving to Boston in 2024, slashing .241/.336/.511 with 31 home runs and 61 RBI across 473 regular-season plate appearances. Much of the 29-year-old's success came versus southpaws, against whom he posted a 1.179 OPS in 156 trips to the plate. Now in Baltimore, O'Neill could slot in primarily at DH given his limited range and injury history while occasionally taking over in the corner outfield for Colton Cowser or Heston Kjerstad against left-handed starters.

O'Neill is out of the Red Sox's lineup Sunday against the Rays, Christopher Smith of MassLive.com reports. The Red Sox will start Jarren Duran, Ceddanne Rafaela and Wilyer Abreu in the outfield for the regular-season finale. O'Neill battled multiple injuries this season, and unless he pinch hits Sunday, he'll end his first year in Boston with a slash line of .241/.336/.511, 31 home runs and 61 RBI across 473 plate appearances.

O'Neill is not in the lineup for Friday's game against the Rays, Chris Cotillo of MassLive.com reports. O'Neill has been in and out of the lineup lately, making just two starts over the last six contests. He missed the first two of those tilts with a back injury, although it's not clear whether the back is a factor in his two other absences. Jarren Duran is in left field for the Red Sox on Friday.

O'Neill is absent from the lineup in Tuesday's game versus the Blue Jays, Jen McCaffrey of The Athletic reports. O'Neill returned to the lineup Monday at designated hitter after missing both ends of Sunday's doubleheader with a back issue. It's not clear whether it's his back that's keeping him out of Tuesday's lineup. Jarren Duran and Wilyer Abreu will be in the corner outfield spots for the Red Sox.

O'Neill (back) will start at designated hitter and bat fourth in Monday's game versus the Blue Jays. O'Neill sat out both ends of Sunday's doubleheader against the Twins due to a back injury, but he's feeling well enough to hit in Monday's contest. With O'Neill handling DH duties, Masataka Yoshida will receive a breather.
