Orioles Activate Tyler O'Neill From 10-Day Injured List

The Baltimore Orioles have activated outfielder Tyler O’Neill from the 10-day injured list ahead of their game against the Toronto Blue Jays, following his recovery from right wrist inflammation. O’Neill, who has been limited to 43 games this season with a .210 batting average, eight home runs, and 23 RBIs, played three rehab games in Triple-A Norfolk and hit a home run in his final rehab appearance. His return prompted the Orioles to option outfielder Daniel Johnson to Triple-A Norfolk. Interim manager Tony Mansolino expressed hope that other injured players like Adley Rutschman and Jordan Westburg could return before the season's end, with Westburg's comeback considered most likely. O’Neill signed a three-year contract with Baltimore last December and is expected to remain with the team beyond this season, as he is unlikely to exercise his opt-out clause. Jeremiah Jackson, who filled in for O’Neill in right field, may shift to third base now that O’Neill is back.
