Orioles Recall Brandon Young Amid Injury Woes

The Baltimore Orioles have recalled pitching prospect Brandon Young from Triple-A Norfolk to start Wednesday's game against the Texas Rangers, providing a spot start amid an extensive injury list that is impacting the Orioles' pitching staff and prompting frequent roster moves. Young has posted a 2.63 ERA and a 2-1 record in Triple-A this season but is not expected to be fully stretched out for his MLB start. Reliever Yaramil Hiraldo was optioned to Triple-A in a corresponding move. Meanwhile, the New York Mets' Jared Young remains out of the lineup for the second consecutive day despite facing right-handed pitching, and his lackluster offensive output is putting his roster spot in jeopardy. These roster changes highlight both teams' ongoing adjustments in response to injuries and performance issues. The Orioles are looking to prospects like Young to fill gaps while managing their rotation.
