Sent back to minors The Orioles optioned McDermott to Triple-A Norfolk on Wednesday.
Impact McDermott struggled in a spot start Wednesday versus the Brewers, yielding three runs on four hits and five walks over 4.2 frames. With McDermott now in the minors, the Orioles will have an opening in their rotation Sunday in Boston, and it's not clear how the club plans to fill it.

Struggles with control in loss McDermott (0-1) took the loss Tuesday against the Brewers after allowing three runs on four hits and five walks in 4.2 innings. He struck out two.
Impact Piggybacking off opener Keegan Akin, McDermott struggled with his control while delivering just 37 of his 75 pitches for strikes. The 26-year-old right-hander generated a meager three swinging strikes, and he's now given up three home runs in his first 7.2 innings of the season after conceding two homers Tuesday. McDermott owns an uninspiring 8.22 ERA, 2.09 WHIP and 7:8 K:BB over his two outings, so he can be avoided in most fantasy leagues going forward.

Recalled from Triple-A The Orioles recalled McDermott from Triple-A Norfolk on Tuesday.
Impact McDermott will be utilized as the team's bulk reliever Tuesday in Milwaukee, following opener Keegan Akin. The right-handed McDermott permitted four runs while striking out five over three innings of work in a spot start last week versus the Twins.

In line to start Tuesday's game McDermott was added to the Orioles' taxi squad Monday and is expected to start Tuesday's game in Milwaukee, Danielle Allentuck of TheBaltimoreBanner.com reports.
Impact McDermott showed flashes in a spot start last week against the Twins, striking out five while yielding four runs over three innings. He missed the first month of the season with a lat injury and hasn't thrown more than 65 pitches in any outing, so McDermott is unlikely to go very deep into Tuesday's start unless he's very efficient.

Impact McDermott was up as the 27th man for Wednesday's doubleheader versus the Twins, starting the second game and allowing four runs over three innings. The right-hander will rejoin the rotation at Norfolk and wait for another opportunity with the big club.

Impact Called up from Triple-A Norfolk earlier in the day for the twin bill, McDermott tossed 65 pitches (34 strikes) before being lifted in favor of Charlie Morton to begin the fourth inning. Following this appearance, McDermott is expected to return to Norfolk's rotation where he's had a little more success, allowing just one run with a 7:3 K:BB over eight innings in his last two starts.

Confirmed as starter Wednesday The Orioles recalled McDermott from Triple-A Norfolk on Wednesday, Andy Kostka of TheBaltimoreBanner.com reports.
Impact McDermott will start the second game of Wednesday's twin bill against the Twins in what will be his second major-league start. The right-hander missed the first month of the season with a right lat strain and has thrown only 9.2 innings in the minors, with his last appearance lasting four innings and 65 pitches, so he will have a relatively limited workload versus the Twins.

Added to taxi squad The Orioles added McDermott to the taxi squad Wednesday, Jacob Calvin Meyer of The Baltimore Sun reports.
Impact Presumably, McDermott will be formally recalled from Triple-A Norfolk and will serve as the 27th man for the second game of Wednesday's doubleheader against the Twins. The right-hander has thrown just 9.2 innings in the minors this season after recovering from a lat strain, allowing two runs with a 10:6 K:BB between Double-A Chesapeake and Norfolk.

Impact Presumably, this lines McDermott up to officially be added to the roster to serve as the 27th man for the second game of Wednesday's doubleheader against the Twins. The right-hander has thrown just 9.2 innings in the minors this season after recovering from a lat strain, allowing two runs with a 10:6 K:BB between Double-A Chesapeake and Triple-A Norfolk.

Activated and optioned The Orioles reinstated McDermott (lat) from the 15-day injured list and optioned him to Triple-A Norfolk on Sunday, Jake Rill of MLB.com reports.
Impact Baltimore has an opening in its rotation during the upcoming week after demoting Charlie Morton to the bullpen, but McDermott apparently isn't being viewed as a candidate to fill the void while he builds back up from the right lat strain that kept him out for all of spring training and the first month of the regular season. McDermott kicked off his rehab assignment with Double-A Chesapeake this past Sunday before moving up to Norfolk for his second start Saturday, when he struck out three over four scoreless innings. The 26-year-old righty tossed 57 pitches in that outing, but once he gets stretched out into the 75-to-90-pitch range at Triple-A, he could be a more realistic option for the big-league rotation.

Wild in first rehab start McDermott (lat) covered 1.2 innings in his first rehab start Sunday with Double-A Chesapeake, striking out three while allowing one earned run on one hit and three walks.
Impact McDermott has resided on the Orioles' 15-day injured list all season after suffering a lat strain early in spring training, but after facing live hitters at extended spring training last week without issue, he received the green light to make his 2025 debut in the minors. Unsurprisingly, McDermott was a bit shaky in his first outing, needing 43 pitches to record four outs and throwing more balls (22) than strikes (21). Though the Orioles have multiple holes in their big-league rotation, McDermott could need most of his 30-day rehab window in the minors to shake off the rust and build up his pitch count before he's activated from the IL.

Rehab assignment on tap McDermott (lat) will begin a rehab assignment at Double-A Chesapeake on Sunday, Jacob Calvin Meyer of The Baltimore Sun reports.
Impact 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.
