White Sox-Orioles tensions erupt over bizarre baserunning play
Things came to a boiling point with the Orioles and White Sox on Saturday. Benches cleared in the fourth inning of Baltimore's 4-2 win after a collision between Orioles utility player Coby Mayo and White Sox second baseman Lenyn Sosa. Mayo, who hit a single into left field and got caught in a rundown after rounding first, crashed into Sosa when trying to run back to second base. Mayo appeared to lunge into Sosa, who was clearly out of the baseline, intentionally. 'Look at that. Come on!' one of the White Sox announcers on CHSN said, while watching Mayo's actions. 4 Coby Mayo of the Baltimore Orioles pushes Lenyn Sosa of the Chicago White Sox in a run down in the fourth inning that lead to a benches-clearing incident during a baseball game at Oriole Park at Camden Yards on May 31, 2025 in Baltimore, Maryland. Getty Images The two exchanged words when Mayo was tagged out by first baseman Miguel Vargas, with both benches clearing after the 23-year-old pushed Sosa when walking back to the dugout. Despite both benches — and bullpens — running onto the field, no one was ejected from the game, with order being quickly restored with no ejections. Mayo, who is the Orioles' No. 2 prospect on MLB Pipeline and finished the day 1-for-3, was called up before Saturday's game, with his hit that sparked the conflict marking his first career RBI. The 2020 fourth-round draft pick had a brief stint in the majors last season, though he could not find much success, batting just .098 with 22 strikeouts in 41 at-bats. 4 Lenyn Sosa of the Chicago White Sox pushes back Coby Mayo of the Baltimore Orioles after getting pushed in a rundown in the fourth inning. Getty Images This time around, he hopes to have a more extended stay. 'I think any player will tell you, it's definitely more comfortable when you're playing every day,' Mayo told reporters. 'But obviously those things are out of your control. You have to come in here and make your opportunities worth it when you get those, and that's what I'm trying to do.' 4 Coby Mayo of the Baltimore Orioles and Lenyn Sosa of the Chicago White Sox exchange pushes after a run down in the fourth inning during a baseball game at Oriole Park at Camden Yards on May 31, 2025 in Baltimore, Maryland.

AP Mayo's promotion back to the majors came after first baseman Ryan Mountcastle landed on the 10-day injured list with a right calf strain, the latest in a slew of injuries that have plagued Baltimore's roster this year. The Orioles are down 12 players due to injuries and sit in last place in the AL East with a record of 21-36.

Orioles Receive Bad News After Second Straight Loss
Orioles Receive Bad News After Second Straight Loss originally appeared on Athlon Sports. The Baltimore Orioles (19-36) couldn't be more disappointing so far. They're in last place in the AL East, 6.5 games behind the fourth-place Boston Red Sox (27-31), and fired manager Brandon Hyde on May 17. Advertisement 2024 All-Stars Gunnar Henderson and Adley Rutschman have each taken a step back, as the former is slashing .254/.318/.435 with seven homers and 15 RBI through 41 games, and the latter is slashing .206/.302/.339 with five homers and 15 RBI in 51 contests. Their best power hitter has been veteran outfielder Cedric Mullins, who sports 10 homers and 31 RBI. However, the 30-year-old is now injured, via The Baltimore Sun's Matt Weyrich. Baltimore Orioles center fielder Cedric Mullins (31).Gregory Fisher-Imagn Images "The Orioles have placed OF Cedric Mullins on the 10-day IL with a right hamstring strain," he reported on Friday. "They re-signed UTL Cooper Hummel to replace him on the roster and transferred Cody Poteet to the 60-day." Advertisement Mullins is slashing .232/.324/.448 across 50 games. Baltimore selected Mullins in the 13th round of the 2015 MLB Draft and called him up in August 2018. The left-hander joined the 30-30 club in 2021, slashing .291/.360/.518 with 30 homers, 59 RBI, and 30 steals in 159 games. He also earned All-Star and Silver Slugger honors that year. Mullins owns a career slash line of .251/.320/.426 with 96 homers, 309 RBI, and 133 stolen bases in 743 contests. The Orioles' outfield depth is compromised. Colton Cowser (thumb) is on the 60-day IL, and Tyler O'Neill (shoulder) is on the 10-day. The team will rely on backups Dylan Carlson and Hummel in the meantime, unless they acquire someone else.
