Tyler O'Neill - Page 4 - MLB News, Rumors, & Updates

Could return for weekend series Orioles manager Brandon Hyde said Wednesday that he's hopeful O'Neill (neck) will be available to return from the 10-day injured list for Baltimore's weekend series against Minneso...

Impact O'Neill was working through neck soreness in late April, which prompted his placement on the 10-day injured list. He made his first rehab start with Triple-A Norfolk on Tuesday, going 1-for-3 with one walk while serving as the designated hitter. O'Neill will start in right field Wednesday and could be on his way back to the majors barring any setbacks. O'Neill was slashing .215/.284/.385 with two home runs and 10 RBI in 74 plate appearances prior to his placement on the IL.

Set for rehab assignment O'Neill (neck) is scheduled to begin a rehab assignment with Triple-A Norfolk on Tuesday, Cordell Woodland of 105.7 The Fan Baltimore reports.

Impact It was believed that O'Neill could avoid needing a rehab assignment, but he's now set for one as he tries to return from neck soreness. The outfielder was eligible to return from the 10-day injured list May 4. However, he will need two to three appearances in Triple-A before he is ready to return, Andy Kostka of TheBaltimoreBanner.com reports. The right-handed bat should be expected to return for the three game series against the Angels that commences Friday.

MAY 6 • ROTOWIRE

Could avoid rehab assignment O'Neill (neck) may not need a minor-league rehab assignment before being reinstated from the 10-day injured list, Jake Rill of MLB.com reports.

Impact General manager Mike Elias said Friday that O'Neill's return timeline from neck soreness is closer to "days" and not "weeks", so the outfielder seems to have a chance to be activated as soon as Sunday, when he's first eligible. While O'Neill is slashing only .215/.284/.385 with two home runs, three doubles and 10 RBI over 75 plate appearances this year, his elite 17.4 percent barrel rate suggests he's been a bit unlucky in the slugging department. Until O'Neill is cleared to return, Ramon Laureano should continue to play nearly an everyday role in Baltimore's outfield.

MAY 2 • ROTOWIRE

Lands on injured list The Orioles placed O'Neill on the 10-day injured list Saturday with neck soreness, Roch Kubatko of MASNSports.com reports.

Impact O'Neill's neck has been a recurring problem over the past couple of weeks, and the Orioles will now send him to the injured list to give him time to properly correct the issue. He'll be eligible to return May 6, and Dylan Carlson will come up from Triple-A Norfolk in the meantime to fill the open roster spot.

Battling sore neck again Orioles manager Brandon Hyde said that O'Neill is not in the lineup for Thursday's contest versus the Nationals due to neck soreness, Jacob Calvin Meyer of The Baltimore Sun report...

Impact It's a recurrence of the same issue that cost O'Neill two games last week. Hyde said that he's hopeful O'Neill will be available off the bench Thursday, so it sounds like a day-to-day situation.

APRIL 24 • ROTOWIRE

Exiting starting nine O'Neill is absent from the lineup for Thursday's game versus the Nationals, Roch Kubatko of MASNSports.com reports.

Impact The Nationals are starting a lefty in MacKenzie Gore, but O'Neill's slump (1-for-20, 11 strikeouts over his last five games) takes precedence over his historical proficiency against left-handed pitching. Ramon Laureano is in right field and batting seventh for the Orioles.

APRIL 24 • ROTOWIRE

Beginning on bench Sunday O'Neill is not in the starting lineup for Baltimore's matchup against Cincinnati on Sunday, Jacob Calvin Meyer of The Baltimore Sun reports.

Impact O'Neill returned to the lineup Friday following a two-game absence due to a neck injury. He also started Saturday and went 1-for-4 with a walk, a run and an RBI. O'Neill's absence from the starting nine Sunday appears to be a rest day. Ramon Laureano, Cedric Mullins and Ryan O'Hearn will form Baltimore's outfield from left to right.

APRIL 20 • ROTOWIRE

Returns to lineup Friday O'Neill (neck) will start in right field and bat third in Friday's game against the Reds, Roch Kubatko of MASNSports.com reports.

Impact O'Neill missed the previous two contests with neck discomfort but is feeling well enough to give it a go in Friday's series opener. The 29-year-old has collected an .829 OPS with two home runs in his first 14 games with the Orioles this season.

APRIL 18 • ROTOWIRE

Remains out of lineup O'Neill (neck) remains out of the lineup for Thursday's game against the Guardians, Rich Dubroff of BaltimoreBaseball.com reports.

Impact With his three-run blast in the third inning off Blue Jays right-hander Jose Berrios, O'Neill remarkably tallied an Opening Day home run in his sixth straight season.
