Félix Bautista - MLB News, Rumors, & Updates

Fans two in season debut Bautista struck out two while allowing two runs on one hit and one walk in the seventh inning Sunday against the Brewers.

Impact Bautista made his first appearance for the Orioles in over a year after completing his rehab from 2025 shoulder surgery. The hard-throwing right-hander topped out at 98.1 mph on his sinker, an encouraging sign in spite of a shaky season debut. Bautista should see some high-leverage work in the final week of the campaign, but the focus for him is likely to simply finish the year healthy with an eye toward reclaiming the closer position in 2027.

Returns from injured list The Orioles reinstated Bautista (shoulder) from the 60-day injured list Saturday, Andy Kostka of TheBanner.com reports.

Impact Bautista will join the active roster for the first time since July 2025 after undergoing surgery to repair a torn labrum and rotator cuff in his right shoulder. He was cleared to begin a rehab assignment Aug. 23 and has since given up five earned runs in eight innings while striking out nine batters and walking seven. The 31-year-old has consistently been one of Baltimore's most reliable high-leverage relievers throughout his career, but he may not step into a closing role immediately upon being activated due to the length of his absence and his subpar minor-league performance.

Return not imminent Manager Craig Albernaz said Monday that Bautista's (shoulder) return from the 60-day injured list isn't imminent, Matt Weyrich of The Baltimore Sun reports.

Impact Bautista kicked off his rehab assignment in late August and has made five appearances with Double-A Chesapeake and Triple-A Norfolk, allowing four runs on three hits and six walks with five strikeouts across four innings. He hasn't pitched in the big leagues since July 20 of last year due to shoulder surgery.

2026 MLB Power Rankings: Key Injuries Worth Monitoring On Every Team

Makes return to game action Bautista (shoulder) recorded one out in a rehab outing for Double-A Chesapeake on Sunday, allowing three runs on one hit and three walks.

Impact Bautista made his first appearance since July of last year, and he certainly appeared to have some rust to knock off. Provided he bounces back well from Sunday's outing physically, the plan is for the hard-throwing right-hander's rehab to next move to Triple-A Norfolk. Bautista, who's working his way back from shoulder surgery, is likely to need several more rehab appearances before the Orioles consider reinstating him from the injured list.

Impact Bautista will make one appearance with Chesapeake before moving his rehab to Triple-A Norfolk next week.
