Overall, Rogers' ERA sits at 4.38 across 25 starts (137.2 innings) this season with a 1.25 WHIP and 121:37 K:BB.

Rotowire
Taveras went 1-for-5 with a three-run home run in Wednesday's 8-7 win over the Cardinals.

For the season, he's batting .228 with a .662 OPS, eight homers, 49 RBI, 52 runs scored, 13 doubles, six triples and 10 stolen bases through 116 contests. Taveras' playing time has trended up lately, and it should remain consistent as he takes over the starting job in right field in the absence of Tyler O'Neill (shoulder), who landed on the injured list Wednesday.

Orioles' Andrew Kittredge: Earns seventh save
Rotowire
Kittredge allowed a hit and a walk with no strikeouts in a scoreless inning to earn the save in Wednesday's 8-7 win over the Cardinals.
The Orioles took the lead in the top of the ninth inning, and Kittredge was able to make it stick. He continues to work in a general high-leverage role, collecting three saves and three holds, as well as one blown save, over 9.1 innings in August. The veteran reliever has a 3.35 ERA, 1.36 WHIP and 33:11 K:BB across 40.1 innings this season, notching seven saves, nine holds and four blown saves along the way.

Orioles' Kyle Bradish: Rocked for seven runs
Rotowire
Bradish allowed seven runs on nine hits and two walks while striking out four over 4.1 innings in a no-decision versus the Cardinals on Wednesday.
Bradish was cruising until the fifth inning, when the Cardinals were able to tack on six runs to erase an early deficit. With 12 runs allowed (10 earned) over his last 10 innings, Bradish's performance has taken a poor turn after a positive beginning to August. On the year, he has a 4.03 ERA, 1.41 WHIP and 133:62 K:BB through 143 innings over 26 starts. He's lined up to make his next start in Colorado, which makes him a volatile fantasy option.
Orioles' Luis Vazquez: Contract selected by Baltimore
Rotowire
The Orioles selected Vazquez's contract from Triple-A Norfolk on Wednesday.
The move corresponds with the Orioles placing Tyler O'Neill (shoulder) on the 10-day injured list. Vazquez has spent the entire 2026 season in the minors and most of the year at Triple-A, where he is slashing .225/.272/.360 with seven steals, six home runs and 18 RBI over 194 plate appearances. He has the versatility to play multiple infield positions, with most of his reps this season coming at shortstop.

Orioles' Tyler O'Neill: Placed on 10-day IL
Rotowire
The Orioles placed O'Neill on the 10-day injured list Wednesday, retroactive to Sunday, due to right shoulder inflammation.
As expected, O'Neill will be shelved for an extended period of time due to a right shoulder injury that he sustained while making a diving catch against the Rays on Saturday. Pete Alonso could see additional reps as the designated hitter for as long as O'Neill is sidelined. A minimum stint on the IL would have O'Neill back with the big club Sept. 2, though a clearer return timeline will be established once he recovers enough to participate in baseball activities.

Orioles' Tyler O'Neill: Expected to go on IL
Rotowire
O'Neill relayed Wednesday that he expects to be placed on the 10-day injured list due to a right rotator cuff strain, Andy Kostka of TheBanner.com reports.
O'Neill sustained the injury while diving for a catch during Saturday's 3-2 win over the Rays. A move to the IL means the veteran outfielder won't be available to play until at least early September, though the Orioles will get a better sense of O'Neill's return timeline once he's cleared to resume baseball activities.

Orioles' Coby Mayo: Exiting starting lineup
Rotowire
Mayo is out of the lineup for Wednesday's tilt in St. Louis.

Orioles' Chris Bassitt: Earns fifth win
Rotowire
Bassitt (5-4) earned the win Tuesday against the Cardinals, allowing one run on six hits while striking out five over 6.2 innings.
Bassitt's only blemish Tuesday came when Nathan Church led off the third inning with a solo homer, as he otherwise kept St. Louis off the board. The strong outing lowered the right-hander's ERA (4.74) below 5.00 for the first time this season. Bassitt has pitched well since returning from the injured list, allowing six runs across 17.2 innings with a 14:4 K:BB over three starts. He's scheduled to face the Athletics on the road in his next outing.
Vazquez is on the Orioles' taxi squad for their Tuesday contest with the Cardinals, Rich Dubroff of BaltimoreBaseball.com reports.
