The Baltimore Orioles are facing a wave of injuries as the 2026 MLB season progresses. Following their 6-2 victory over the San Francisco Giants, manager Craig Albernaz provided updates on key players. Tyler O'Neill was unexpectedly placed on the 7-day concussion injured list after fainting and hitting his head, while Ryan Mountcastle is contending with a broken fourth metatarsal in his left foot, sustained during a game. Mountcastle has yet to be placed on the injured list, as the team evaluates whether he can play through the injury. Adley Rutschman is also dealing with left ankle inflammation, but MRI results are reportedly encouraging, suggesting a short stint on the injured list. Currently, the Orioles have 12 players on the injured list, and if Mountcastle is added, that number will rise to 13. Despite these challenges, the team is maintaining a competitive edge, currently tied for first place in the American League East with an 8-7 record.
