The Orioles have placed outfielder Anthony Santander and left-hander Keegan Akin on the COVID-19 injured list. Outfielder Ryan McKenna and lefty Alexander Wells have been recalled from Triple-A Norfolk to replace them on the active roster.
There’s no indication at this point that either of Santander or Akin has tested positive for COVID-19. Players can land on the IL for feeling symptoms or for viral exposure. The COVID-19 IL does not come with a minimum stint.
Santander has gotten the bulk of playing time this season in right field. He’s hitting .231/.280/.387 across 247 plate appearances, a drop-off from last year’s strong .261/.315/.575 line. Akin, meanwhile, has made thirteen appearances (including eight starts) this year. He’s tossed 48 1/3 innings of 8.19 ERA/4.62 SIERA ball. The southpaw had been the projected starter for this afternoon’s game against the Rays. Wells will take the ball instead.
Thank you Mr. Judge.
No worries, neither of these dudes made the AS Game so they got it somewhere else’s
Thank you, Texas Democrats?
I’m Akin to hear that they feel better soon.
Awesome lol
Kubatko dropped the ball again. Says it’s an ankle thing for Santander.
Orioles beat writers are low-class. The fans up there don’t care about winning. They think Hyde is their savior. But yet…..They “Rebuilding”. True embarrassment to have the most sexiest stadium in all of pro sports and they put a product on the field like that. Hyde will be gone after the year. Stamp it.
Explain to me why they would fire him?? He’s done a good job There’s only so much you can do with the players that you have…
Hyde isn’t getting canned this year. He probably will after next year. The window for the O’s to be competitive starts in 2023…Managers like Hyde typical wind up as the fall guy.
See Porter, Bo
The Orioles will be competitive in 2023 if they’re moved to AAA.
Best writers in Bmore are fine, Roch usually gets good info. No one who lives in reality is claiming Hyde is the second coming of Weaver. Of course fans care about winning. No one wants to lose. I just realize they don’t win a lot now for a shot at winning alot soon.
They have the best ballpark,Petco is second.
PNC park
O’s fan here. I’ve heard great things about PNC and Petco.
Your wife cheated on you with an Orioles fan, didn’t she?
The Orioles beat writers are “homers”. The MASN bunch has to be since their paychecks come from the same source as the players. The rest of the crew would defend everything they do, even if they lost 130 games every season. That’s not low class, it’s spineless.
Lifelong O’s fan. Care about winning—immensely—just realize a true rebuild takes time.
Too many words…..did not read
Must be a Baltimore fan. Lol
hopefully they give Alex a start
