Baltimore Orioles rookie Brandon Young reacts to immaculate inning vs. New York Mets | Sporting News Young just threw the best inning of his life.
Stingy in no-decision Young didn't factor into the decision in Tuesday's 7-6 extra-inning loss to the Mets, allowing two runs on five hits over 5.1 innings. He struck out six without walking a batter.
Impact The 26-year-old right-hander blanked New York through five innings, but O's interim manager Tony Mansolino went to his bullpen quickly after Young served up three straight extra-base hits to lead off the sixth, including a Ronny Mauricio solo shot. It was Young's best performance in the majors this season, and his first time lasting at least five innings for Baltimore in five trips to the mound. He'll try to build off this outing Sunday as he makes his team's final start before the All-Star break, at home against the Marlins.

Drawing another start Young will start Tuesday's game against the Mets at Camden Yards, Jake Rill of MLB.com reports.
Impact After making what was expected to be a spot start for the Orioles on June 25 and subsequently getting optioned to Triple-A Norfolk, Young was recalled just a few days later when a rotation spot opened up with Zach Eflin's (back) move to the injured list. In his fourth start of the season for Baltimore this past Tuesday in Texas, Young lasted just four innings and was dealt a loss after giving up three earned runs on six hits and two walks. Though he looks poised to stick around in the rotation until one of Eflin or Cade Povich (hip) returns from the injured list, Young doesn't profile as a reliable streaming option in the majority of fantasy leagues. The 26-year-old righty will head into Tuesday's start with an 0-3 record, 7.02 ERA and 1.98 WHIP through his first 16.2 big-league innings.

Struggles persist in third loss Young (0-3) took the loss Tuesday against Texas, allowing three runs on six hits and two walks in four innings. He struck out four.
Impact Young has now failed to throw at least five innings or give up fewer than three runs in any of his first four starts in 2025. Through these 16.2 frames, the 26-year-old rookie right-hander holds a ghastly 7.02 ERA, 1.98 WHIP and 15:11 K:BB. His next turn in Baltimore's rotation is tentatively slated for next week against a formidable Mets lineup, and it's possible that Young will stick around in the major leagues due to the absences of both Zach Eflin (back) and Cade Povich (hip).

Starting Tuesday's game Young will start Tuesday's game versus the Rangers in place of the injured Charlie Morton (elbow), Roch Kubatko of MASNSports.com reports.
Impact Morton is battling elbow tendinitis but is expected to be ready to start Friday in Atlanta. However, with Cade Povich (hip) experiencing a setback on his rehab assignment, Young could be needed for multiple turns in the Orioles' rotation. The rookie right-hander holds a 7.11 ERA and 1.97 WHIP in 12.2 innings over his three starts with the big club this season.

Orioles place right-hander Zach Eflin on the 15-day IL with low back discomfort
The Baltimore Orioles have placed right-hander Zach Eflin on the 15-day injured list with low back discomfortJUNE 30 • Associated Press
Makes return to big club The Orioles recalled Young from Triple-A Norfolk on Monday.
Impact Baltimore placed starter Zach Eflin (back) on the 15-day injured list in a corresponding move, but Young may not be called upon to take his spot in the rotation. The Orioles have already confirmed their starting pitchers for the three-game series in Texas that begins Monday, and an off day Thursday will allow the team to get by with a four-man rotation until at least July 12, by which time Cade Povich (hip) should be ready to return from the IL to take over Eflin's vacated spot. With that in mind, Young looks poised to work in long relief during his latest stint with the Orioles, after he previously submitted a 7.11 ERA and 1.97 WHIP in 12.2 innings over his three starts with the big club earlier this season.

Sent down after spot start The Orioles optioned Young to Triple-A Norfolk on Friday.
Impact Young was brought up to make a start Wednesday against Texas, and he yielded four runs in four innings during the appearance. He'll head back to Norfolk, where he's logged a 2.63 ERA and a 17:4 K:BB across 27.1 innings. Kade Strowd will take Young's spot on the active roster.

Recalled to start Wednesday The Orioles recalled Young from Triple-A Norfolk on Wednesday.
Impact Young will start Wednesday's game against the Rangers. The right-hander won't be fully stretched out, as he just recently returned from a shoulder issue at Norfolk and threw 65 pitches in his last outing. It's expected to be just a spot start for Young, who will likely be sent back to Norfolk afterward.

Likely drawing start Wednesday Young has been added to the Orioles' taxi squad and is likely to start Wednesday's game against the Rangers, Danielle Allentuck of TheBaltimoreBanner.com reports.
Impact The Orioles would likely to give their regular rotation members some extra rest, so Young will be up to make a spot start. Young has permitted six runs with a 9:8 K:BB over 8.2 innings in two starts with Baltimore this season. He recently returned from a shoulder injury at Triple-A Norfolk and threw 65 pitches in his last outing, so he won't be fully stretched out Wednesday.
