Carlson elected free agency Thursday, Roch Kubatko of MASNSports.com reports. Carlson cleared waivers and opted for free agency rather than being assigned to Triple-A Norfolk after being outrighted by the Orioles. He struggled across 241 big-league plate appearances in 2025, hitting only .203/.278/.336.

Carlson went 2-for-4 with a double and a run scored in Tuesday's 8-7 win over the White Sox. The double was Carlson's first extra-base hit in September, and the multi-hit game was his first since Aug. 16. Despite having plenty of opportunities to seize a more significant role in the Orioles' outfield -- Ramon Laureano, Ryan O'Hearn and Cedric Mullins were all traded away in July, and Tyler O'Neill has spent plenty of time on the IL -- Carlson has struggled to find his footing. Since the start of August, he's slashing .186/.293/.337 with two home runs and five RBI over 99 plate appearances (30 games) en route to a putrid .622 OPS for the year.

Carlson is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Astros. Carlson is out of the lineup for the third game in a row and looks to have moved into a reserve role while Jeremiah Jackson and Dylan Beavers get extended looks in outfield. Though Carlson had begun to show signs of life at the plate by going 9-for-27 (.333 average) with two home runs and a 5:8 BB:K in his last nine games, he's slashing just .206/.262/.344 over 195 plate appearances for Baltimore this season.

Carlson is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Astros. Carlson will head to the bench after starting five straight games and going 7-for-16 with two home runs, one triple, three walks, four RBI and four runs during that stretch. With Colton Cowser (concussion) returning from the injured list Sunday and Dylan Beavers likely to get an extended audition as an everyday player, Carlson may have to compete with Jeremiah Jackson for regular at-bats at the other spot in the Baltimore outfield. Both Carlson and Jackson may be at risk of losing out on opportunities once Tyler O'Neill (wrist) returns from the IL, however.

Carlson went 2-for-4 with a two-run homer in Friday's 7-0 win over the Astros. The outfielder extended Baltimore's lead with a 330-foot shot into the Crawford Boxes off Shawn Dubin in the eighth inning, his first home run since June 12 and first extra-base hit since June 22. During the prolonged 31-game homer drought, Carlson went just 13-for-88 with three RBI and five runs scored while struggling to make consistent hard contact. Friday's performance not only snapped the homerless stretch but also marked his second multi-hit effort in his last three games, offering a glimpse of improved form at the plate. On the season, the 26-year-old is slashing .200/.249/.315 with five home runs, 17 RBI and 13 runs scored across 61 games
