Lands in KBO Plutko signed with the LG Twins of Korea Baseball Organization on Thursday, Sung Min Kim of The Athletic reports.

Impact Plutko served as a reliever for the Orioles in 2021, posting a 6.71 ERA and 1.63 WHIP across 56.1 innings. After being designated for assignment in mid-August, it didn't appear that he would have significant opportunity in the major leagues moving forward. Instead, Plutko may have the chance to return to a starting role with the Twins, and he is set to make up to $800,000 on a one-year deal.

Clears waivers Plutko recently accepted an assignment to Triple-A Norfolk after clearing waivers, Nathan Ruiz of The Baltimore Sun reports.

Impact Plutko was DFA'd after allowing 17 runs on seven homers across his last 8.1 innings with Baltimore. He'll stay with the organization after failing to garner interest on the waiver wire but will likely face an uphill battle to return to the major-league roster by the end of the season.

Cast off 40-man roster Plutko was designated for assignment Sunday, Rich Dubroff of BaltimoreBaseball.com reports.

Impact Plutko has gone through a nightmarish stretch lately where he's allowed 17 runs in his last 8.1 innings, including seven home runs. He and Dusten Knight were replaced on the big-league roster by Konner Wade and Fernando Abad.

Getting crushed by long ball Plutko has allowed a home run in his last five outings.

Impact In that span, he's given up 10 runs in 7.2 innings while striking out just four. The right-hander has hardly seen little high-leverage work with just one save and five holds in 37 appearances. Plutko will likely have to work through his recent struggles, which have ticked his ERA up to 5.66 through 55.2 innings this year.

Allows two runs Saturday Plutko allowed two runs on two hits in one inning during Saturday's 5-3 win over Washington.

Impact The right-hander made just his second appearance since the All-Star break, so he may have been a bit rusty. Plutko allowed a solo home run to Juan Soto in the seventh inning and he was also charged with one of two runs that scored on a Trea Turner single in the eighth allowed by Tanner Scott. Through 49 innings, Plutko has a 4.96 ERA, 1.49 WHIP and 39:22 K:BB while allowing 11 homers in 33 appearances. He's often tasked with covering multiple low-leverage innings.

Posts 2.2 scoreless innings Plutko allowed three hits and a walk while striking out two over 2.2 scoreless innings in Saturday's 8-3 loss to the White Sox.

Impact Plutko has allowed just one run despite allowing eight hits and eight walks over his last 8.2 innings. While he's gotten a bit lucky lately, the right-hander owns a 4.72 ERA, 1.45 WHIP and 39:21 K:BB through 47.2 innings overall. He's expected to continue serving as a multi-inning reliever in the second half of the season, and that role comes with little fantasy upside, especially on a struggling Orioles team.

Collects first save Plutko allowed a walk and no runs in two-thirds of an inning to earn the save in Monday's 9-7 win over Houston.

Impact Regular closer Paul Fry was deployed in the eighth inning of a tied game, but Baltimore rallied for five runs in the top of the ninth. Fry was inefficient in the ninth, but Plutko was able to secure the last two outs while throwing just six pitches. The 29-year-old typically works in a multi-inning role -- Monday's save was his first of the year to go with five holds, two blown saves and a 1-2 record.

Works 2.2 innings Plutko allowed three runs on five hits and struck out two in 2.2 innings in a 9-0 loss to Toronto on Thursday.

Impact After starter Dean Kremer only managed to get one out, Plutko was brought in for a long relief assignment. The 29-year-old wasn't much better, giving up a solo home run to Vladimir Guerrero and a pair of RBI doubles to Marcus Semien and Bo Bichette. All five of Plutko's appearances in June have been between two and three innings -- Baltimore appears to have him stretched out for at least a piggyback role when necessary, as he threw 49 pitches (34 strikes) Thursday. The right-hander owns a mediocre 5.54 ERA, 1.36 WHIP and 34:13 K:BB across 39 innings.
