Orioles closer Félix Bautista placed on injured list with right shoulder discomfort
CLEVELAND — Baltimore Orioles closer Félix Bautista, who is tied for sixth in the American League with 19 saves, was placed on the 15-day injured list Thursday with right shoulder discomfort. Interim manager Tony Mansolino said the right-hander felt uncomfortable while stretching in the bullpen Wednesday during a 3-2 loss to the Cleveland Guardians. Bautista will undergo an MRI when the Orioles return home Friday. 'The (dugout) phone rang in the seventh inning last night and I thought, 'That is not good,'' Mansolino said. 'Then I heard it get slammed down and knew it wasn't good. 'Félix had started his process of getting loose and that's when it flared up.' Bautista did not pitch in the first three games of the series in Cleveland, last seeing action on Sunday at Tampa Bay when he earned his 19th save in 20 opportunities. He missed the entire 2024 season while recovering from Tommy John surgery. The 30-year-old Dominican has a 1-1 record and 2.60 ERA in 35 appearances, limiting opponents to a .134 batting average over 34 2/3 innings. Bautista has struck out 50 and walked 23. 'We just have to hope it's not too serious,' Mansolino said. The Orioles will use a closer-by-committee in the short term with righty setup men Seranthony Domínguez and Yennier Cano at the front of the line. 'We're going to have to bump up their roles,' Mansolino said. 'We'll figure it out.' Bautista will not enter free agency until 2028, but is eligible for arbitration following this season. The 6-foot-8, 285-pounder is in the final year of a two-year, $2 million contract. With the Orioles out of wild-card contention, they are expected to be active sellers before the July 31 trade deadline.

Orioles closer Felix Bautista, likely MLB trade deadline target, goes on IL with right shoulder discomfort
The Baltimore Orioles suffered a double setback with news that reliever Felix Bautista is going on the 15-day injured list with right shoulder discomfort. Bautista going on the IL hurts the Orioles' chances of staying competitive and perhaps getting back into the American League playoff race. At 44-57 going into Thursday's play, Baltimore is 15.5 games behind the first-place Toronto Blue Jays in the AL East. That also leaves them 9.5 games out of the third AL wild-card playoff spot. However, Bautista's injury might have more of an impact on the future of the Orioles since the 30-year-old figured to be a popular trade deadline target for playoff contenders. In 35 appearances this season, the right-hander has 50 strikeouts in 34 2/3 innings with a 2.60 ERA and 19 saves in 20 opportunities. Contending teams looking to add a closer or a late-inning setup reliever likely had Bautista on their list of potential acquisitions leading up to the July 31 MLB trade deadline. [Join or create a Yahoo Fantasy Football league for the 2025 NFL season] Besides a career rate of 13.8 strikeouts per nine innings and a 2.01 ERA with 67 saves in 76 opportunites, Bautista also has two seasons of arbitration eligiblility remaining, making him an extremely appealing low-cost asset under two seasons of team control. He was pitching through his first full season since recovering from Tommy John surgery that sidelined him for the entire 2024 campaign. Bautista threw a season-high 34 pitches in his last outing on Sunday versus the Tampa Bay Rays. He got the save after allowing one run in the ninth inning, but walked three batters and threw only 18 pitches for strikes. The injury became apparent while Bautista was beginning to warm up in Wednesday's matchup with the Cleveland Guardians. As he began to throw a heavy ball against a wall to loosen up, something felt wrong and the Orioles' dugout was alerted that Bautista wouldn't be available, according to the Baltimore Sun. 'Our phone rang and right when I heard that thing ring, I told whoever was next to me, I said, 'That is not good,'' interim manager Tony Mansolino told reporters. 'I heard it get slammed after and I knew it wasn't going to be good, and it turned out to be really horrendous.' Bautista will get an MRI exam on Friday to determine the severity of the injury, Mansolino said. The Orioles will go with a closer by committee in his absence, likely with Seranthony Domínguez, Andrew Kittredge and Gregory Soto. If there's no structural damage in Bautista's shoulder, teams might still be willing to trade for Bautista if they know they'll get him back during the final two months of the season and into the postseason. They would also have him for an additional two seasons at a lower cost.
