INJURIES

Not in starting nine Kjerstad will be on the bench for Saturday's game against the Rays, Roch Kubatko of MASNSports.com reports.
Impact Kjerstad's role down the stretch may take some time to figure out. He was limited to a pinch-hit appearance in his MLB debut Thursday, then started at designated hitter and homered Friday, only to retreat to the bench the following day. Kjerstad's first off day came against a lefty, which hinted at a possible platoon role, but his off day Saturday comes against righty Tyler Glasnow. Anthony Santander will serve as the DH on Saturday, with Aaron Hicks entering the lineup in right field.

Tallies first big-league homer Kjerstad went 1-for-2 with a solo home run Friday against the Rays.
Impact Kjerstad drew his first big-league start Friday. He struck out in his first plate appearance before leading off the sixth frame with his first career home run. Kjerstad was pinch-hit for with a lefty on the mound in his next plate appearance, another indication his playing time may be limited after he was also out of the lineup Thursday upon being called up to the majors.

Gets first MLB start Kjerstad will serve as the designated hitter and bat seventh Friday against the Rays.
Impact Kjerstad made his major-league debut off the bench in Thursday's series opener versus Tampa Bay and will now get his first big-league start. Prior to being promoted to Baltimore, the 24-year-old had slashed .303/.376/.528 with 21 home runs in 122 games this summer between Double-A Bowie and Triple-A Norfolk.

Pinch-hit appearance in MLB debut Kjerstad went 0-for-1 with a strikeout in Thursday's 4-3 loss against the Rays.
Impact Kjerstad made his major-league debut Thursday, coming in as a pinch hitter and striking out in his lone plate appearance. The 24-year-old top prospect was thrown right into a big spot, entering in the eighth inning with the Orioles trailing by one. Despite the underwhelming debut, Kjerstad is expected to be a significant part of Baltimore's young core for the foreseeable future.
SEPTEMBER 15, 2023 • ROTOWIRE
Officially up for MLB debut The Orioles selected Kjerstad's contract from Triple-A Norfolk on Thursday.
Impact A heart condition and a serious hamstring injury have conspired to limit Kjerstad's reps in the minors, but he's been excellent when healthy, collecting a .904 OPS with 21 home runs in 122 games between Double-A Bowie and Norfolk this season. He can handle the corner outfield spots as well as first base and could see starts against right-handed pitching especially while Ryan Mountcastle (shoulder) is banged up.

May be promoted to majors Kjerstad is traveling to Baltimore to join the Orioles, Andy Kostka of TheBaltimoreBanner.com reports.
Impact No roster move has been announced yet, but the Orioles will keep Kjerstad close by in case Ryan Mountcastle (shoulder) has to go on the injured list. Kjerstad is slashing .299/.370/.500 with 10 homers and 32 RBI across 332 plate appearances with Triple-A Norfolk this season.
SEPTEMBER 14, 2023 • ROTOWIRE
Being promoted to Triple-A The Orioles are promoting Kjerstad to Triple-A Norfolk on Sunday, Andy Kostka of TheBaltimoreBanner.com reports.
Impact Kjerstad missed time with a heart condition after being drafted by Baltimore with the No. 2 overall pick in 2020, but he's progressed through the Orioles' minor-league system quickly since debuting in 2022. The 24-year-old began the 2023 campaign at Double-A Bowie, where he slashed .300/.370/.572 with 11 homers, 29 runs, 22 RBI and three stolen bases.
