Orioles Place Cedric Mullins On Injured List

By Steve Adams | May 30, 2025 at 12:35pm CDT

12:35pm: Interim skipper Tony Mansolino tells the Orioles beat that an MRI revealed a “mild” strain in Mullins’ hamstring (via Roch Kubatko of MASNsports.com). He’s not expected to miss much time and could even be back on the first day he’s eligible to return. Cowser, meanwhile, will likely be activated during a road trip that kicks off next Tuesday. It seems he won’t be an option for the O’s beleaguered outfield while they host the White Sox this weekend.

12:10pm: The Orioles announced Friday that center fielder Cedric Mullins has been placed on the 10-day injured list (retroactive to May 29) due to a right hamstring strain. He’ll be the corresponding active roster move for the previously reported signing of Cooper Hummel, whose new deal with Baltimore is now official. The O’s transferred right-hander Cody Poteet to the 60-day injured list to clear a 40-man spot for Hummel.

Mullins’ injury is the latest setback for an Orioles club that stands as arguably the most disappointing team in Major League Baseball this year. Baltimore is just 19-36, and the loss of Mullins, his .232/.324/.448 batting line and his glove in center field won’t do them any favors.

It should be noted, however, that Mullins has had a wildly uneven season. He looked like an MVP candidate through the end of April, mashing at a .278/.412/.515 clip (171 wRC+), but he’s tanked in May. This month, Mullins has punched out in an extremely uncharacteristic 30.7% of his place appearances while posting a dreadful .179/.205/.369 batting line (57 wRC+).

On the one hand, the injury could offer him a mental reset at a time when he’s clearly been pressing in the box. Mullins chased just 22.3% of balls off the plate and swung at 42.6% of the overall pitches he saw when he was dialed in last month. Dating back to mid-May, he’s chased one-third of balls off the plate and offered at 52% of his total pitches seen.

On the other hand, any injury is unwelcome in the midst of a platform season. Mullins is a free agent at season’s end, and while a mild hamstring strain with a quick return wouldn’t materially harm his stock, it’s a worrying ding on his record at a time when he’s also floundering in the batter’s box.

The Orioles haven’t indicated how long Mullins will be sidelined. He’s joining Colton Cowser, Tyler O’Neill and Ramon Laureano on the injured list, meaning Baltimore now has an entire big league outfield unit — potentially a very good one — on the shelf. With that quartet ailing, outfield reps will fall to Heston Kjerstad, Dylan Carlson and the newly re-signed Hummel. Fortunately for the O’s, Cowser has played four minor league rehab games and is on the cusp of returning. He’s on the 60-day injured list, but today marks his 60th day on the IL. He’ll be eligible to return Saturday.

Orioles Add John Mabry To Coaching Staff

By Darragh McDonald | May 30, 2025 at 11:52am CDT

The Orioles announced today that John Mabry has been added to the major league coaching staff as a senior advisor. Ken Rosenthal of The Athletic reported yesterday that the two sides were in discussions about the position.

Mabry, 54, played in the big leagues from 1994 to 2007 but has pivoted to a coaching career since then. The Cardinals hired him as an assistant hitting coach prior to the 2012 season, working under hitting coach Mark McGwire. One year later, McGwire departed for the Dodgers and Mabry was promoted to hitting coach. Mabry held that job until manager Mark Matheny was fired in the middle of the 2018 season, with Mabry dismissed alongside the skipper.

He was then hired by the Royals as a major league coach for the 2020-22 seasons. He then returned to an assistant hitting coach role with the Marlins for the 2023 seasons and got promoted to hitting coach for 2024. At the end of last season, the Marlins underwent a massive internal staff turnover. They didn’t retain any of their coaching staff and also got rid of many clubhouse attendants, performance staff and others.

For the Orioles, they have recently started doing some staff turnover of their own. Amid a deeply disappointing season, they fired manager Brandon Hyde about two weeks ago. Third base coach Tony Mansolino became the interim manager. Major League field coordinator and catching instructor Tim Cossins was also let go. Major league coach Buck Britton took over for Mansolino as third base coach.

Mansolino doesn’t have a ton of big league coaching experience. He has managed in the minors but only joined a big league staff for the first time in 2020. He served as Cleveland’s third base coach and then pivoted to the Orioles in that same job for the 2021 season. As mentioned by Rosenthal, the club also has a first-year hitting coach in Cody Asche and a first-time bench coach in Robinson Chirinos. Pitching coach Drew French is only in his second season.

With the O’s having cut two members of the staff, Mabry will come in and give them a fresh set of eyes, presumably lending the wisdom of his experience to a new manager and a staff that’s fairly green on the whole.

Orioles, Cooper Hummel Agree To Major League Deal

By Anthony Franco | May 30, 2025 at 10:26am CDT

For the second time in the past week, the Orioles have agreed to a big league deal with outfielder/first baseman Cooper Hummel, reports Ari Alexander of KPRC-2. Baltimore originally signed the Gaeta Sports Management client five days ago, but the O’s designated him for assignment the next day before he even appeared in a game. Hummel cleared waivers, rejected an outright assignment in favor of free agency, and is now headed right back on the Orioles’ major league roster.

Hummel’s first DFA was spurred by a day-to-day injury to Adley Rutschman. Baltimore’s starting catcher was knocked out of Sunday’s game after taking a foul tip off the mask. He missed the next few days before drawing back into the lineup as a designated hitter on Wednesday. Rutschman and Maverick Handley were the only healthy catchers on the 40-man roster. The O’s needed another catcher to back up Handley while Rutschman was unavailable. They selected the contract of Chadwick Tromp, squeezing Hummel off the roster.

After Rutschman returned to the lineup, he might be ready to resume catching duties as soon as tonight. That’d allow the O’s to designate Tromp for assignment and go back to their previous catching tandem. Hummel would draw back in as their final bench bat. Handley is the only player on Tony Mansolino’s bench who has minor league options.

That’ll include Hummel, who exhausted his final option year as a member of the Astros last season. The switch-hitter spent the bulk of the year on optional assignment with Houston’s Triple-A team. He turned in a strong .277/.419/.454 showing with 10 home runs and 15 stolen bases. An extremely patient hitter throughout his career, Hummel took walks at a near-18% clip in the minors last year. He only got into six big league games, and the Astros elected to designate him for assignment this spring rather than carry him on the Opening Day roster.

Hummel signed a minor league deal with the Yankees in April. He spent most of his tenure on the injured list, only appearing in 10 games for their top farm team before triggering an opt-out clause. He hit .258 with only one extra-base hit, but he drew nine walks to post a .415 on-base percentage. The O’s liked the offensive profile enough to add him to the MLB roster twice in as many weeks.

The 30-year-old Hummel has plenty of minor league catching experience, but he hasn’t logged any time behind the dish since 2023. Baltimore wasn’t comfortable using him as even an emergency option while Rutschman was banged up. He’s essentially limited to the corner outfield and first base at this point.

Cooper Hummel Elects Free Agency

By Anthony Franco | May 29, 2025 at 8:55pm CDT

The Orioles informed reporters that outfielder/first baseman Cooper Hummel elected free agency after going unclaimed on outright waivers. He’d been designated for assignment on Monday when the O’s called up Chadwick Tromp.

Hummel spent a grand total of one day on Baltimore’s active roster. The switch-hitter had just exercised an out clause in his minor league deal with the Yankees last week. Baltimore signed him to a big league deal on Sunday. He didn’t appear in that day’s game. Adley Rutschman suffered an injury scare that has kept him from catching for a few days. The Orioles needed another catcher to back up Maverick Handley, so they pushed Hummel off the roster to bring up Tromp.

It’s an unfortunate sequence for the 30-year-old Hummel. He returns to the open market and will probably be limited to minor league offers this time around. It stands to reason the Orioles would be interested in bringing him back on a non-roster deal, but he’ll be able to weigh that against other opportunities.

Hummel appeared in 66 MLB contests for the Diamondbacks during his 2022 rookie season. He’s only made 16 big league appearances in the two-plus years since then. A career .159/.255/.275 hitter, he’s shown more offensive ability in the minors. Hummel has a .284/.419/.475 slash line over parts of five Triple-A seasons. He reached base at a .415 clip in 10 games with the Yankees’ affiliate before opting out.

Orioles Select Matt Bowman

By Steve Adams | May 28, 2025 at 11:52am CDT

The Orioles have selected the contract of righty Matt Bowman and optioned fellow right-hander Yaramil Hiraldo to Triple-A Norfolk, per a team announcement. Baltimore already had an open 40-man roster spot, so optioning Hiraldo is the only necessary corresponding transaction. Baltimore also announced recently that infielder/outfielder Terrin Vavra, who was designated for assignment over the weekend, cleared waivers and accepted an outright assignment to Triple-A.

Bowman, 33, is now in his second Orioles stint of the season. Baltimore designated him for assignment earlier in the month and outrighted him to Norfolk. He responded with 4 2/3 shutout innings of relief (four strikeouts, two walks) and promptly punched a ticket back to the big leagues. He’s appeared in 16 games for the O’s in 2025 and totaled 17 1/3 innings with a 5.19 ERA, a 15.2% strikeout rate and a 3.8% walk rate. That strikeout rate is nearly seven percentage points shy of league average, but Bowman’s super walk rate also checks in about five percentage points lower than average.

Baltimore is Bowman’s seventh club in seven big league seasons. He’s a former 12th-round pick who’s also spent time with the Cardinals, Reds, Yankees, Twins, Mariners and Diamondbacks since debuting with St. Louis back in 2016. In 233 1/3 innings, he sports a 4.24 ERA, 18.7% strikeout rate, 8% walk rate and 52.9% ground-ball rate.

Vavra, 28, is an organization favorite. The son of former Twins and Tigers coach Joe Vavra, Terrin was a 2018 third-rounder out of the University of Minnesota by the Rockies. Colorado traded him to Baltimore in 2020’s Mychal Givens swap, and he’s spent the majority of the past half decade calling the Orioles organization home.

The younger Vavra played in the bigs with the O’s in 2022-23 and has accepted multiple outright assignments and re-signed multiple minor league deals with the Orioles. He’s a .254/.331/.303 hitter in the majors (159 plate appearances) and a .287/.383/.418 hitter in parts of four Triple-A seasons (583 plate appearances).

Orioles Notes: Westburg, Cowser, Sanchez, Laureano

By Mark Polishuk | May 26, 2025 at 11:26pm CDT

  • The Orioles are also missing several notable players on the IL, and interim manager Tony Mansolino provided reporters (including the Baltimore Sun’s Matt Weyrich) with the news that Jordan Westburg and Colton Cowser both started rehab assignments today with Triple-A Norfolk.  Westburg hasn’t played since April 26 due to a left hamstring strain, and then a setback two weeks ago that arose just as Westburg was about to start a previous rehab assignment.  Cowser has already logged three rehab games with high-A Aberdeen, as the outfielder makes his way back from a fractured thumb that occurred in Baltimore’s fourth game of the season.  Given an initial recovery timeline of 6-8 weeks, Cowser has already been sidelined beyond the high end of that timeline, but the shift to Triple-A indicates that his return to the Orioles’ lineup might not be too far away.  Gary Sanchez (wrist inflammation) and Ramon Laureano (sprained ankle) are further away, but Sanchez took batting practice today and Laureano has progressed to hitting in the batting cage.

Orioles Select Chadwick Tromp, Designate Cooper Hummel For Assignment

By Darragh McDonald | May 26, 2025 at 2:10pm CDT

The Orioles announced that they have selected the contract of catcher Chadwick Tromp. Utility player Cooper Hummel has been designated for assignment as the corresponding move. The club’s 40-man roster count stays at 39.

The moves seem to be motivated by the Baltimore catching corps being banged up. Gary Sánchez has already been on the injured for about a month due to wrist inflammation. Adley Rutschman took a foul ball off the mask yesterday and left the game, getting replaced by Maverick Handley. Rutschman is still on the roster but it’s possible he isn’t going to be available for a day or two, with Handley in the lineup today, so the club has added another backstop for insurance.

Tromp, 30, signed a minor league deal with the O’s in April. He had been with Atlanta for a number of years but got squeezed out there. That club promoted Drake Baldwin to pair with Sean Murphy as the big league catching tandem earlier this year. Tromp is out of options, so he got sent off the 40-man, eventually clearing waivers and electing free agency.

He has since played 20 games for Triple-A Norfolk, getting 71 plate appearances. He has three home runs and a strong 11.3% walk rate, though also a high strikeout rate of 25.4%. His .254/.338/.413 line translates to a 106 wRC+. His major league career has led to a less impressive .224/.235/.385 line and 62 wRC+ in 162 plate appearances, though he’s considered a solid defender and has often hit well in the minors.

It’s possible it will be a fairly short stay in the big leagues. As mentioned, Rutschman has avoided the IL so far and might be back in the lineup in a few days. Given Tromp’s out-of-options status, it’s possible he is destined for DFA limbo again in the near future, though optioning Handley is another possibility the O’s could consider.

Hummel losing his roster spot today is an unfortunate bit of collateral damage connected to the catching situation. The O’s just added him to the roster yesterday. Like Tromp, he is out of options and got squeezed away from another club.

He started the season with the Astros and hit .316/.435/.447 in spring training but didn’t make the Opening Day roster. He was sent through waivers unclaimed, elected free agency and signed a minor league deal with the Yankees. He was hurt for a while and only got into ten Triple-A games for the Yanks but nonetheless decided to trigger a release clause in that deal, which allowed him to sign with the O’s.

Now it’s possible that Hummel is destined for the open market again. The O’s will likely place him on waivers in the coming days. He could get claimed based on his strong minor league numbers but no one grabbed him earlier in the year. If he goes unclaimed, he would have the right to elect free agency, as he did a couple of months back.

Dating back to the start of 2021, he has 1,460 minor league plate appearances with a 17.6% walk rate and 20.8% strikeout rate. That’s helped him produce a combined .284/.419/.475 line and 132 wRC+ in that time. He has also played catcher and the four corner spots, though his last work behind the plate was in 2023.

Orioles Sign Cooper Hummel, Designate Terrin Vavra

By Mark Polishuk | May 25, 2025 at 10:08am CDT

The Orioles have signed infielder/outfielder Cooper Hummel, according to multiple O’s beat writers (including MASNsports.com’s Roch Kubatko).  KPRC 2’s Ari Alexander reports that Hummel will receive $765K in salary as per his new contract.  Hummel is represented by Gaeta Sports Management.  Infielder/outfielder Terrin Vavra was designated for assignment to create space for Hummel on Baltimore’s roster.

Hummel’s latest trip to the open market didn’t last long, as the Yankees officially released him from his minor league contract just yesterday.  That deal contained an out clause that Hummel chose to trigger, and New York opted to just release Hummel rather than override the clause by adding him to their Major League roster.  Baltimore will now be Hummel’s third different organization in two months’ time, as the Astros designated him for assignment just before Opening Day, paving the way for Hummel landing with the Yankees shortly thereafter.

The well-traveled Hummel has been part of eight different MLB organizations since he was an 18th-round pick for the Brewers in the 2016 draft.  Most of his big league playing time came in his 2022 rookie year with the Diamondbacks, when he made 201 plate appearances over 66 games.  Since that season, Hummel has seen only sparing action in the Show with the Mariners (10 games in 2023) and Astros (six games in 2024), and he has hit .159/.255/.275 over 235 career PA.

His minor league numbers are much more solid, with a .266/.403/.443 slash line to show for 2655 career PA in the farm systems of his various teams.  The switch-hitting Hummel also brings some added versatility as a rare utility type that can play catcher, though Hummel hasn’t suited up behind the plate since the 2023 season.  He has since been more of a standard first baseman and corner outfielder over the last two years, and Hummel hasn’t played much this season at all due to an unspecified injury that sidelined him for much of his time with the Yankees’ Triple-A affiliate.

Hummel is out of minor league options, so the Orioles would have to designate him for assignment and expose him again to the waiver wire if the club wanted to move him to Triple-A.  Vavra is also out of options, so the O’s essentially opted for one “26th man” type over another.  Vavra’s minors contract was only just selected to Baltimore’s active roster yesterday, and he didn’t see any game action during his latest cup of coffee in the majors.

Vavra has essentially been a member of the Orioles’ organization since the 2020 trade deadline, apart from barely a two-week stint with the Mariners during the 2024 season before he again rejoined the O’s.  Vavra’s MLB resume consists of 67 games with the Orioles over the 2022-23 seasons, with a .254/.331/.304 slash line over 159 career plate appearances.

Vavra has hit .294/.393/.446 over 1510 PA in the minors, and is more of a true utilityman than Hummel since Vavra has seen at least some time at every position on the diamond during his pro career.  The Orioles may be aiming to keep Vavra in the organization if he can clear waivers, though since he has been previously outrighted in his career, Vavra has the ability to elect free agency if he is outrighted again.

Orioles Select Yaramil Hiraldo

By Nick Deeds | May 24, 2025 at 5:25pm CDT

The Orioles have selected the contract of right-hander Yaramil Hiraldo, according to a team announcement. Southpaw Cionel Perez was designated for assignment to make room on the active and 40-man rosters.

Hiraldo, 29, signed with the Diamondbacks out of the Dominican Republic all the way back in 2018 but departed affiliated ball following a 2021 season where he struggled to a 4.13 ERA in 24 innings of work at the High-A level. He caught on with the independent Atlantic League, where he scuffled a bit in his first year outside of the minor leagues but bounced back to deliver an impressive 1.50 ERA in 18 innings of work. After once again impressing in 2024 (this time as a member of the Mexican League’s Caliente de Durango), he caught on with the Orioles this year on a minor league deal.

The right-hander has just 18 1/3 innings of work under his belt in the minors since returning to affiliated ball, but he’s dominated at every level the Orioles have put him through with a 2.43 ERA and 26.0% strikeout rate overall. Evidently, the Orioles feel he’s ready for the test of major league action, and the 29-year-old’s big league debut could come as soon as today’s game against the Red Sox. Now that he’s on the 40-man roster, Hiraldo will be an optionable bullpen piece available to Baltimore, a particularly valuable commodity given that closer Felix Bautista, top setup man Yennier Cano, and top lefty Keegan Akin are the only three pitchers besides Hiraldo will options remaining in the bullpen as things stand.

It’s been a tough year for Orioles pitching to say the least, given their MLB-worst team ERA of 5.77. The bullpen is less of a culprit in those struggles than the rotation, but their 5.67 ERA and 4.82 FIP still make them a bottom-four bullpen overall in baseball this year. Turning things around in the bullpen will primarily rely on pieces like Bautista and Cano getting right, but a dominant performance from Hiraldo in his first opportunities at the big leage level might be enough to convince the Orioles to keep him around over a struggling arm like Seranthony Dominguez, even though the latter is out of options. At the very least, a strong showing from Hiraldo in this first call-up to the majors should bode well for his ability to earn opportunities after a trade deadline where the Orioles look increasingly likely to be sellers in at least some capacity.

As for Perez, the 29-year-old has spent each of the past four seasons in Baltimore after previously pitching for the Astros and Reds over the years. Perez’s time in Baltimore has been generally successful, with a 3.72 ERA and 3.58 FIP across 212 appearances, though it must be noted that most of that success came in the 2022 and ’23 seasons. Last year was a down season for Perez, as he posted an ugly 4.53 ERA that clocked in 16% below average by ERA+ despite solid peripheral numbers. Those peripherals gave him a 3.30 FIP that suggested positive regression could be on the way, but Perez has not experienced that in 21 2/3 innings of work for the Orioles this year. Instead, he’s been torched to the tune of a 8.31 ERA with a 5.71 FIP that, while better, offers little optimism for above-average results going forward. Those deep struggles were evidently enough for Baltimore to pull the plug on the lefty, who they’ll now have one week to either work out a trade or attempt to pass through waivers.
