• Orioles' Shane Baz: Shipped to Baltimore

  9H ago • By RotoWire

  The Orioles acquired Baz from the Rays on Friday in exchange for Slater de Brun, Caden Bodine, Michael Forret, Austin Overn and a Competitive Balance Round A pick, Jeff Passan of ESPN.com reports. Baz had an up-and-down 2025 campaign in his first full season back from Tommy John surgery, finishing with a 4.87 ERA and 176:64 K:BB across 166.1 innings covering 31 starts. However, he had a 5.90 ERA at hitter-friendly George M. Steinbrenner Field, so he should benefit from a move to Camden Yards. Baz is under team control through 2028.

• Rays' Shane Baz: Goes four innings vs. Baltimore

  09/25/2025 • By RotoWire

  Baz did not factor into the decision Wednesday against the Orioles, allowing three walks and no hits across four scoreless innings. He struck out three. It's unclear exactly why Baz was limited to four innings after throwing only 49 pitches (31 strikes), though he was effective nonetheless. The 26-year-old Baz's campaign will likely end on a high note -- he delivered nine scoreless innings over his last two starts, allowing just two hits while striking out seven. Overall, Baz's ERA sits at 4.87 with a 1.33 WHIP and 176:64 K:BB across 31 starts (166.1 innings) this season.

• Rays' Shane Baz: Stuck with loss in quality start

  08/27/2025 • By RotoWire

  Baz (8-11) took the loss Tuesday, giving up three runs on three hits and two walks over six innings as the Rays fell 3-0 to the Guardians. He struck out seven. The right-hander produced his first quality start since July 12 on 92 pitches (62 strikes), but Baz got no run support to remain winless over his last 10 trips to the mound. During that span, he's gone 0-8 with a 6.58 ERA, 1.50 WHIP and 64:19 K:BB over 53.1 innings. Baz will try to get back in the win column in his next outing, which lines up to come at home early next week against the Mariners.

• Rays' Shane Baz: Thrashed in 10th loss

  08/20/2025 • By RotoWire

  Baz (8-10) took the loss Tuesday against the Yankees, allowing six runs on seven hits and two walks in three innings. He struck out three. Baz got off to a disastrous beginning, watching Aaron Judge, Cody Bellinger and Giancarlo Stanton lift three straight home runs in the opening inning, and things didn't get better for the hurler thereafter. The right-hander served up a career-high five homers Tuesday, and he threw a season-low three innings as well as 65 pitches before his night came to a close. Baz has a 6.85 ERA, 1.58 WHIP and 57:17 K:BB across 47.1 innings since the beginning of July; therefore, he'll be tough to trust in next week's scheduled start in Cleveland.

• Rays' Shane Baz: No help in loss

  08/13/2025 • By RotoWire

  Baz (8-9) allowed five runs (four earned) on six hits and two walks while striking out seven over seven innings to take the loss Tuesday versus the Athletics. Baz had his longest start since he went seven innings July 1. The right-hander didn't get any help Tuesday, nor did he do himself any favors by allowing four or more runs for the fourth time in five starts. He's now at a 4.93 ERA, 1.33 WHIP and 140:50 K:BB through 135 innings across 24 starts. He's already exceeded the 118.2 innings he had across all levels in 2024, so it's possible the 26-year-old is wearing down a bit. His next start is projected to be at home versus the Yankees.
