In January, the Orioles signed reliever Andrew Kittredge to a one-year, $10MM deal, but he has yet to contribute due to a knee surgery in March and has been on the injured list all season. Manager Brandon Hyde reported positive progress during Kittredge’s rehab assignment, suggesting he could soon rejoin the bullpen, which may lead to tough decisions regarding struggling pitchers like Cionel Pérez or Charlie Morton. Additionally, outfielder Colton Cowser is recovering from a broken thumb, while pitching prospect Patrick Reilly underwent UCL surgery, sidelining him until mid-2026.
