Selby will return to Triple-A Norfolk after serving as the Orioles' 27th man for Saturday's doubleheader against the Tigers, Roch Kubatko of MASNSports.com reports.
Selby got the call for Game 2 of Saturday's doubleheader, during which he struck out two batters on 11 pitches (eight strikes) in a scoreless ninth inning. He'll go back to Norfolk after his brief stint in the majors, and in Triple-A this season he has a 1.69 ERA, 0.78 WHIP and 8:1 K:BB across 5.1 innings.
Orioles' Chayce McDermott: Rehab assignment on tap
Rotowire
McDermott (lat) will begin a rehab assignment at Double-A Chesapeake on Sunday, Jacob Calvin Meyer of The Baltimore Sun reports.
McDermott has been on the injured list all season due to a right lat strain that he suffered in February. He's been facing hitters at the team's complex in Florida for the past several days and has now been given the green light to test his lat in a competitive setting. Because he missed nearly all of spring camp, he will likely require several starts in the minors before being activated off the IL.

Orioles' Brandon Young: Optioned following Saturday's game
Rotowire
The Orioles optioned Young to Triple-A Norfolk following the Orioles' 4-3 loss to the Tigers in the first game of Saturday's doubleheader.
Young took the loss in the matinee, allowing three runs on four hits and five walks while striking out six in 4.2 innings. Young started two games for the Orioles, and his move to Triple-A indicates that Kyle Gibson (back) could make his season debut next week. Grant Wolfram was recalled from Norfolk in a corresponding move.

Orioles' Grant Wolfram: Recalled from Norfolk
Rotowire
The Orioles recalled Wolfram from Triple-A Norfolk on Saturday
Wolfram began the season with Milwaukee but never appeared in a game before he was shipped to Baltimore on April 7. Since the trade, he's allowed six earned runs in just 5.2 innings while striking out six batters and walking three. He'll give the Orioles some extra bullpen depth for the second game of their doubleheader against Detroit, though he likely will only be used in low-leverage situations. Brandon Young was optioned to Triple-A in a corresponding move.

Orioles' Keegan Akin: Opening nightcap
Rotowire
Akin will start Game 2 of Saturday's doubleheader against the Tigers, Andy Kostka of TheBaltimoreBanner.com reports.
Akin has been fairly reliable out of the bullpen this season, turning in a 3.27 ERA and 1.45 WHIP across 11 innings. He'll now be tasked with opening the second game of a twin bill before turning things over to Charlie Morton, who will pitch in bulk relief.
Orioles' Colin Selby: Working as 27th man Saturday
Rotowire
The Orioles added Selby to their active roster to serve as the 27th man for Saturday's doubleheader against the Tigers, Roch Kubatko of MASNSports.com reports.
Selby gave up two earned runs in one inning during his lone major-league outing this season, but he's given up just one run in 5.1 frames at Triple-A. He'll give the O's some bullpen depth for Saturday's twin bill but will almost certainly be sent back to Norfolk after the end of the second game.

Orioles' Dylan Carlson: Recalled from Norfolk
Rotowire
The Orioles recalled Carlson from Triple-A Norfolk on Saturday, Roch Kubatko of MASNSports.com reports.
With Tyler O'Neill (neck) headed for the injured list, Carlson will come up from the minors to replenish Baltimore's outfield depth. The 26-year-old has spent most of the season in Triple-A, where he's slashed .286/.418/.381 with 11 RBI, 18 runs scored and four steals through 18 games.

Orioles' Tyler O'Neill: Lands on injured list
Rotowire
The Orioles placed O'Neill on the 10-day injured list Saturday with neck soreness, Roch Kubatko of MASNSports.com reports.
O'Neill's neck has been a recurring problem over the past couple of weeks, and the Orioles will now send him to the injured list to give him time to properly correct the issue. He'll be eligible to return May 4, and Dylan Carlson will come up from Triple-A Norfolk in the meantime to fill the open roster spot.

Orioles' Ryan Mountcastle: Resting in Game 1
Rotowire
Mountcastle isn't in the lineup for the first game of Saturday's doubleheader against the Tigers.
Mountcastle will grab a seat on the bench to start Saturday's twin bill after going 1-for-10 with a walk during Baltimore's previous series against Washington. Ryan O'Hearn will start at first base, moving Jordan Westburg into the DH spot while Ramon Urias starts at the hot corner.

Orioles' Adley Rutschman: Sitting for Game 1
Rotowire
Rutschman isn't in the lineup for the first game of Saturday's doubleheader against Detroit.
Rutschman has really been struggling as of late, slashing .128/.227/.231 in 44 plate appearances over his last 10 games. He'll take a game off to begin Saturday's festivities but will likely return to the starting nine for the nightcap. In the meantime, Gary Sanchez will start behind the plate and bat eighth.
Young and the Orioles will not face the Tigers on Friday, as the game was postponed due to rain, Chris McCosky of The Detroit News reports.
The two teams will make up Friday's contest as part of a doubleheader Saturday, and Young will take the mound for Game 1. Young made his major-league debut against the Reds on April 19 and did not factor into the decision, allowing three runs on seven hits and three walks while striking out three over four innings.

Orioles' Samuel Basallo: Back in action at Triple-A
Rotowire
Basallo (hamstring/elbow) is starting at designated hitter Friday for Triple-A Norfolk.
As expected, Basallo is back off the injured list as the DH, with the expectation he will be ready to get back behind the plate in May. He had a .250/.318/.550 slash line with two home runs and four strikeouts in seven games before landing on the IL.

Orioles' Justin Armbruester: Undergoes lat surgery
Rotowire
Armbruester underwent right lat surgery Friday, Andy Kostka of TheBaltimoreBanner.com reports.
The Orioles have not provided a timetable for the right-hander, but it's possible the surgery ends his 2025 season. Armbruester moved to the bullpen at Triple-A Norfolk this season and had allowed two unearned runs with a 7:3 K:BB over 5.2 frames.

Orioles' Trevor Rogers: Throws 44 pitches in rehab start
Rotowire
Rogers (knee) made his first minor-league rehab start Wednesday, allowing two runs on four hits and one walk while striking out three in three innings for Double-A Chesapeake.
Working his way back from a right knee subluxation, Rogers showed some signs of rust but did throw 44 pitches in his return to game action. The left-hander figures to need somewhere in the neighborhood of four or five rehab outings to build up his pitch count. While he's not guaranteed to occupy a rotation spot for the Orioles once he's deemed ready to return, the team does rank last in the majors in ERA (5.25) and batting average against (.291) and could use some help.
