Keegan Akin - Page 9 - MLB News, Rumors, & Updates

Dominate Angels Akin (1-8) allowed one earned run on three hits and two walks while striking out six across seven innings to earn the win Thursday against the Angels.

Impact Akin allowed a leadoff home run to Shohei Ohtani, but he otherwise dominated the Angels. It was his longest start of the season and only the second time he's surpassed five innings in any of his 12 starts. The effort also ended a run of bad starts for Akin, as he entered this outing having allowed 12 earned runs across his last 12 innings. For the season, Akin has a 7.26 ERA with a 63:29 K:BB across 70.2 frames.

Allows three runs in loss Akin (0-8) allowed three runs on five hits and three walks while striking out three in five innings to take the loss against Atlanta on Friday.

Impact Although Akin tossed 3.1 scoreless innings across his first two relief appearances in August, he's struggled in his three starts since he rejoined the rotation. The southpaw has given up at least three runs in each of his last three starts, and he's been charged with losses in each of those outings. Since the All-Star break, Akin has posted an 8.84 ERA and 2.13 WHIP in 18.1 innings across six appearances (four starts). He tentatively lines up to make his next start at home against the Angels on Thursday.

Dealt another loss Akin (0-7) allowed three runs on six hits and three walks with two strikeouts in four innings, taking the loss versus Boston on Sunday.

Impact The southpaw allowed nine baserunners, but he only had to pay for all that traffic when J.D. Martinez hit a three-run home run in the first inning. Akin continues to struggle whether starting or coming out of the bullpen -- he has an 8.13 ERA, 1.82 WHIP and 54:24 K:BB in 58.2 innings. He could continue to hold a rotation spot, as Bruce Zimmermann suffered a sprained ankle in his rehab from a biceps injury. Akin tentatively lines up for a difficult home start versus Atlanta next weekend.

Gets another start Akin is scheduled to start Sunday's game against the Red Sox, Roch Kubatko of MASNSports.com reports.

Impact Akin initially worked out of the bullpen when he was reinstated from the COVID-19 injured list Aug. 1, but he was moved into the rotation last week when Alexander Wells was demoted to Triple-A Norfolk. While picking up his ninth start of the season Tuesday versus the Tigers, Akin lasted only three innings while giving up six runs, inflating his season ERA to 8.23. Barring a dramatic turnaround Sunday versus a tough Boston offense, Akin likely won't be long for the Baltimore rotation, especially with Bruce Zimmermann (biceps/ankle) expected to return from the injured list in the near future.

AUGUST 11, 2021 • Associated Press

Poor outing in loss Akin (0-6) allowed six runs on seven hits and a walk while striking out five in three innings as he took the loss versus Detroit on Tuesday.

Impact The southpaw's first start since July 16 didn't go very well, as he allowed four extra-base hits that generated runs. Akin has done somewhat better in a relief role, but he has an 8.23 ERA and 1.79 WHIP through 54.2 innings overall. It's unclear if he'll stay in the rotation -- Baltimore has had trouble from the fifth starter spot -- but if he gets another turn, it would likely be in a challenging road venue in Boston this weekend.

Gets Tuesday starting nod Orioles manager Brandon Hyde said Akin is scheduled to start Tuesday's game against the Tigers, Roch Kubatko of MASNSports.com reports.

Impact After Alexander Wells was demoted to Triple-A Norfolk following a brutal outing against the Yankees on Tuesday, the writing was on the wall for Akin to rejoin the rotation. Though he shined in long relief of Wells -- he tossed three scoreless innings and allowed only baserunner -- Akin had posted an 8.14 ERA and 1.83 WHIP in 48.2 innings with the big club. Even in AL-only leagues, Akin makes for a risky starting option for fantasy managers looking to preserve their ratios.

Rejoining rotation next week Akin will rejoin the Orioles starting rotation sometime next week, Rich Dubroff of BaltimoreBaseball.com reports.

Impact He'll take the spot of Alexander Wells, who was optioned to Triple-A Norfolk after starting Tuesday. Baltimore has scheduled off days Thursday and Monday, so Akin's return to the rotation could be pushed until late next week. The left-hander may continue to be available out of the bullpen until the team determines exactly when his next start will be.
