Taking seat versus southpaw O'Hearn is absent from the lineup for Tuesday's game versus the Yankees.

Impact O'Hearn put the Orioles up by two runs in the third inning, when he took the first pitch he saw from Tanner Bibee deep to center field for a 393-foot, three-run home run. It was O'Hearn's third homer of the season, two of which have come in his last two games. He's opened the season slashing .326/.404/.587 with six walks, eight runs scored, three home runs and five RBI across 52 plate appearances.

APRIL 18, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Homers in win O'Hearn went 2-for-3 with a solo home run in Wednesday's 9-1 win over Cleveland.

Impact O'Hearn extended Baltimore's lead to 6-1 in the eighth inning with a 396-foot blast off Triston McKenzie, his second homer of the year. The 31-year-old O'Hearn has gone 4-for-9 in his last three games, boosting his slash line to .302/.388/.512 with seven runs scored, two RBI and a stolen base through his first 49 plate appearances this season.

APRIL 17, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

On bench vs. lefty O'Hearn is out of the lineup for Tuesday's game against the Guardians, Jacob Calvin Meyer of The Baltimore Sun reports.

Impact O'Hearn has gone 1-for-10 with two walks, a stolen base and a run over the past three games and will sit Tuesday as lefty Logan Allen takes the mound for Cleveland. Adley Rutschman is receiving a turn at designated hitter while Gary Sanchez starts behind the plate.

APRIL 15, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Belts first homer O'Hearn went 2-for-4 with a solo home run and a double Monday in a 5-1 victory versus Arizona.

Impact O'Hearn helped the Orioles get off to a positive start with a solo shot to right field in the first inning. The long ball was his first of the campaign, though he also has three doubles among his eight hits. O'Hearn has been in and out of the Orioles' lineup, but he's hit well when given the chance, slashing .308/.379/.538 through 29 plate appearances.

APRIL 8, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

On bench vs. lefty O'Hearn is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Royals.

Impact O'Hearn will head to the bench along with fellow left-handed hitters Jackson Holliday, Cedric Mullins and Heston Kjerstad as the Orioles go with a right-handed-heavy lineup to counter Royals southpaw Kris Bubic.

APRIL 6, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Taking seat Saturday O'Hearn is out of the lineup for Saturday's game against Kansas City.

Impact After going 0-for-7 with three strikeouts and a run scored over his last two games, O'Hearn will begin Saturday's contest on the bench. His absence opens up a spot in the lineup for Ramon Urias to start at third base and bat seventh.

APRIL 5, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Sitting against Crochet O'Hearn is not in the lineup for Wednesday's contest versus the Red Sox.

Impact The left-handed hitting O'Hearn will take a seat as Boston sends southpaw ace Garrett Crochet to the bump. Adley Rutschman will get a start at designated hitter and Gary Sanchez will be at catcher, batting sixth.

APRIL 2, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Heading to bench vs. lefty O'Hearn is out of the lineup for Monday's game against the Red Sox.

Impact The Orioles are facing a left-handed starter (Sean Newcomb) for the first time this season, so the lefty-hitting O'Hearn will retreat to the bench in the series opener. Heston Kjerstad will serve as the Orioles' designated hitter in place of O'Hearn, who went 6-for-15 with two doubles, two walks and two runs in the team's season-opening four-game series in Toronto.

MARCH 31, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Multi-hit effort in win O'Hearn went 2-for-5 with a run scored in Saturday's 9-5 win over Toronto.

Impact After hitting a leadoff double in the fourth inning, O'Hearn eventually crossed the plate to score on a Gary Sanchez sacrifice fly. The veteran slugger has gone 4-for-13 through three games thus far this season, and O'Hearn will need to continue to produce offensively in order to prevent Heston Kjerstad from eating into his playing time at designated hitter.

MARCH 30, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

First hit of spring Monday O'Hearn went 1-for-3 with one strikeout in Monday's Grapefruit League game against the Red Sox.

Impact O'Hearn was able to get his first hit of the spring out of the cleanup spot in Baltimore's lineup, as he's now gone 1-for-12 during spring training. The 31-year-old veteran slugger is set to function as the Orioles' primary designated hitter versus right-handed pitching in 2025, but he does have 2020 first-rounder Heston Kjerstad fighting for at-bats as well. Although O'Hearn is likely to be on the strong side of a platoon, his lack of playing against southpaws should make him an inconsistent fantasy option outside of deep leagues.

Orioles exercise options on O'Hearn, Domínguez and Pérez, decline Coulombe

The Orioles have exercised $8 million options on first baseman/outfielder Ryan O’Hearn and right-hander Seranthony Domínguez along with a $2.2 million option on left-hander Cionel...

NOVEMBER 4, 2024 • Associated Press

$7.5 million club option exercised The Orioles exercised O'Hearn's $7.5 million club option for 2025 on Monday, Jon Heyman of the New York Post reports.

Impact O'Hearn made $3.5 million in 2024, so he will be getting a nice salary bump in 2025. The 31-year-old has slashed .275/.329/.450 with 29 home runs over 254 regular-season games during his two years in Baltimore. He'll garner regular playing time against right-handed pitching again next season.

NOVEMBER 4, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Sitting vs. lefty in Game 1 O'Hearn is out of the lineup for Game 1 of the American League Wild Card Series against the Royals on Tuesday, Roch Kubatko of MASNSports.com reports.

Impact The 31-year-old finished the regular season on a tear as he hit .382 with three doubles and two homers over the final 11 games, but he'll begin the playoffs on the bench with southpaw Cole Ragans taking the mound for Kansas City. O'Hearn is a strong candidate to appear as a pinch hitter and should be back in the lineup for Game 2 against Royals righty Seth Lugo.

OCTOBER 1, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Homers in back-to-back games O'Hearn went 2-for-5 with a two-run home run in Saturday's 9-2 win over the Twins.

Impact O'Hearn has homered in back-to-back games after going 25 contests without a long ball. The slugger set a career high with his 15th homer of the year. He's added a .261/.330/.424 slash line, 59 RBI, 58 runs scored and three stolen bases over 141 games this year as a strong-side platoon option at first base, designated hitter and the corner outfield spots.

Ends power drought Friday O'Hearn went 1-for-3 with a two-run home run in Friday's 7-2 win over the Twins.

Impact He took Pablo Lopez deep in the second inning, giving the Orioles a lead they wouldn't relinquish as they went on to clinch a wild-card spot with the victory. O'Hearn snapped a 25-game homer drought with the blast, and he's slashing a tepid .214/.267/.329 through 22 contests in September. Despite the slump, his 14 home runs on the season ties his career high, and O'Hearn has two games left on the regular-season schedule to try and set a new high-water mark.
