Orioles' Brandon Young: Optioned to minor-league camp
The Orioles optioned Young to minor-league camp Saturday, Rich Dubroff of BaltimoreBaseball.com reports.
Young made 12 starts for Baltimore last season, pitching to an unsightly 6.24 ERA and 1.54 WHIP over 57.2 innings. He was always a long shot to break camp given the Orioles' pitching additions over the offseason. The right-hander will presumably stay stretched out as starting depth at Triple-A Norfolk.

Orioles' Brandon Young: Poor first spring appearance
Young was charged with a blown save during Sunday's Grapefruit League game against the Tigers, allowing one run on three hits and one walk in two innings. He struck out two.
Young served up a solo home run to Austin Slater in the third inning. The 27-year-old right-hander is in contention to begin the season in Baltimore's rotation, but he'll need to bounce back soon in order to keep pace with the club's other candidates. After posting a 6.24 ERA and 1.54 WHIP over 12 regular-season starts in 2025, Young appears initially to be the least likely of Dean Kremer, Tyler Wells and Cade Povich to crack the Opening Day rotation.

Orioles' Brandon Young: Hamstring injury ends season
The Orioles transferred Young (hamstring) from the 15-day injured list to the 60-day IL on Wednesday.
The move to the 60-day IL spells an official end to Young's season. According to Jake Rill of MLB.com, Young said that he expects to face a six-week recovery from the left hamstring strain, which should allow him to have a normal offseason. In 12 starts with the big club as a rookie, the 27-year-old right-hander went 1-7 and submitted a 6.24 ERA, 1.54 WHIP and 47:22 K:BB in 57.2 innings. Young should get the chance to compete for a spot in the Orioles' Opening Day rotation in 2026, but in light of his poor numbers in his first taste of the majors this season, he'll likely need a strong spring to secure a starting role with the big club.

Orioles' Brandon Young: Diagnosed with hamstring issue
Young exited Thursday's start against Houston with hamstring discomfort, Jake Rill of MLB.com reports.
Young exited in the sixth inning after suffering the injury while covering first base. He was hit hard prior to his exit, allowing seven earned runs on nine hits across 5.1 innings. It is not immediately clear if Young will miss a start or require a stint on the injured list.

Orioles' Brandon Young: Sent to IL with strained hamstring
The Orioles placed Young on the 15-day injured list Friday with a left hamstring strain.
Young suffered the injury in the sixth inning of Thursday's start versus the Astros while covering first base. The rookie right-hander will be eligible to return Sept. 6, but with Kyle Bradish (elbow) set to join the Orioles' rotation next week, it's uncertain what role Young will be in line for if he does make it back this season.

Orioles' Brandon Young: Exits with lower body injury
Young exited Thursday's start against the Astros after suffering an apparent leg injury, Matt Weyrich of The Baltimore Sun reports.
Young allowed seven earned runs on nine hits and two walks across 5.1 innings prior to his departure and is on the hook for the loss. The exact nature of the injury is unclear, though Young hurt himself while running to cover first base. He was able to walk off the field with trainers.

Orioles' Brandon Young: Earns first MLB win
Young (1-6) picked up the win Friday against the Astros, allowing one hit while striking out six over eight scoreless innings.
The rookie right-hander was tossing a perfect game through 7.2 innings before Ramon Urias broke it up with an infield single in the eighth that could easily have been ruled an error by the official scorer, but Young quickly regrouped to finish the inning and secure his first career MLB win. The outing was especially encouraging coming on the heels of one of his worst performances of the year, when he lasted only three innings and surrendered six runs. Friday's gem not only marked a personal milestone but also lowered Young's ERA by more than a full point, as he now owns a 5.68 ERA, 1.49 WHIP and 40:26 K:BB across 52.1 innings this season.

Orioles' Brandon Young: Jumped early in loss
Young (0-6) took the loss against the Athletics on Saturday, allowing six runs on six hits and two walks with two strikeouts over three innings.
Five of the six runs Young surrendered came via the long ball, and he was pulled after just 74 pitches in his shortest outing of the season. Coming off back-to-back starts in which he allowed only two earned runs combined, the 26-year-old has still failed to complete five innings in eight of 10 outings this year. He'll take a 6.70 ERA, 1.74 WHIP and 40:20 K:BB across 44.1 innings into a road matchup with Houston next week.

Orioles' Brandon Young: Sticking around in rotation
Young is slated to start Saturday's game against the Athletics at Camden Yards, Jake Rill of MLB.com reports.
With Zach Eflin (back) recently landing on the injured list and Kyle Bradish (elbow) and Tyler Wells (elbow) in the midst of rehab assignments, Young will get at least one more turn through the Baltimore rotation. For the season, the right-hander owns a 5.88 ERA and 1.67 WHIP in 41.1 innings at the big-league level, but he's fared better over his last three starts, yielding a 3.00 ERA, 1.47 WHIP and 13:7 K:BB in 15 frames.

Orioles' Brandon Young: Lasts 4.2 frames in no-decision
Young conceded two unearned runs on five hits and two walks over 4.2 innings while not factoring into the decision in Sunday's 5-3 loss to the Cubs. He struck out four.
The Baltimore rookie right-hander fared well in this short, 80-pitch outing. Young allowed two unearned runs to score in the first but then settled in to tame the Chicago lineup, as he allowed just one extra-base hit -- an Ian Happ double that drove home one of those unearned runs. After pitching to a 7.52 ERA in 26.1 innings over his first six starts, the 26-year-old has performed better over his latest three outings, producing a 3.00 ERA, 1.47 WHIP and 13:7 K:BB across 15 frames. Even with Cade Povich (hip) being slated to rejoin the Orioles rotation Monday, Young should continue to make starts while Zach Eflin (back) is sidelined. Young currently lines up to make his next appearance against the Athletics at home next weekend.

Orioles' Brandon Young: Getting start Sunday
Young is slated to start Sunday's game against the Cubs at Wrigley Field.
As expected, Young will be called upon to fill one of the openings in the rotation that was created Thursday after Zach Eflin (back) was placed on the injured list and Charlie Morton was traded to the Tigers. Young has made eight starts this season for Baltimore, going 0-5 with a 6.63 ERA, 1.69 WHIP and 34:16 K:BB in 36.2 innings. The rookie right-hander came through with his first career quality start his last time out however, striking out six over six frames Tuesday while allowing two earned runs on six hits and two walks.

Orioles' Brandon Young: Back in big leagues
The Orioles recalled Young from Double-A Chesapeake on Thursday.
Baltimore returned Young to the minors Wednesday, one day after he made a six-inning spot start as the 27th man for Tuesday's doubleheader with the Blue Jays. Despite turning in a quality start, Young still holds a 6.63 ERA and 1.69 WHIP in 36.2 innings in the majors this season, but he could nonetheless be in line for additional turns through the Baltimore rotation after he was recalled from Double-A to replace Zach Eflin (back), who was placed on the 15-day injured list in a corresponding move. Eflin's next start was scheduled to come up either Sunday versus the Cubs or Monday versus the Phillies, and the Orioles could look to either Young or rehabbing left-hander Cade Povich (hip) to fill in for the righty.

Orioles' Brandon Young: Demoted after spot start
The Orioles optioned Young to Double-A Chesapeake on Wednesday.
Young was called up Tuesday to serve as the 27th man for the Orioles' doubleheader versus the Blue Jays. He drew the start in the second game of the twin bill, taking a no-decision despite limiting the Blue Jays to two earned runs on six hits and two walks while striking out six over six innings. Though he'll head back to the minors for now, Young could be in line for a longer look in the rotation over the final two months of the season if the Orioles ship out a starter or two ahead of Thursday's trade deadline, although both Kyle Bradish (elbow) and Cade Povich (hip) are close to returning from the injured list.

Orioles' Brandon Young: Quality start in no-decision
Young didn't factor into the decision in the second game of Tuesday's doubleheader against the Blue Jays, giving up two runs on six hits and two walks over six innings. He struck out six.
The 26-year-old righty was up as the 27th man for the twin bill and came through with his first career quality start, tossing 61 of 86 pitches for strikes before exiting. Young may have been making his last start for Baltimore this season, as Kyle Bradish (elbow) and Cade Povich (hip) are both wrapping up rehab assignments, but he mostly hasn't looked ready for regular duty in the majors, posting a 6.63 ERA, 1.69 WHIP and 34:16 K:BB over his first 36.2 MLB innings.
