The Baltimore Orioles are currently managing a roster with over 10 players sidelined due to injuries, including outfielder Tyler O'Neill, who is on the 7-day concussion injured list. O'Neill has been out since April 9, when he fainted due to severe dehydration, resulting in a concussion after hitting his head. Manager Craig Albernaz confirmed that O'Neill is not expected to be activated in the next couple of days as he still needs to complete certain recovery steps. While the specifics of these steps have not been disclosed, Albernaz's comments suggest that O'Neill is making progress. The Orioles are exercising caution given the serious nature of head injuries, especially with their roster already impacted by injuries across various positions. O'Neill's absence has been felt, as he was anticipated to be a key player in left field after a challenging debut season in 2025, where he played only 54 games and struggled with a .199 batting average. The Orioles are hopeful that once O'Neill clears the necessary hurdles, he can contribute significantly to a team aiming for a return to the MLB playoffs this year.
