Orioles closer Félix Bautista placed on injured list with right shoulder discomfort
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 Listening To Offers On All-Star Closer, According To MLB Insider
Based on facts, either observed and verified firsthand by the reporter, or reported and verified from knowledgeable sources. Newsweek AI is in beta. Translations may contain inaccuracies—please refer to the original content. The Baltimore Orioles have all but officially failed in their quest to make three straight postseason appearances since they did so in 1969-71. With the trade deadline approaching, the Orioles are listening to offers on their All-Star closer, Félix Bautista, according to Ken Rosenthal of The Athletic. BALTIMORE, MD - JUNE 29: Félix Bautista #74 of the Baltimore Orioles pitches during a baseball game against the Tampa Bay Rays at Oriole Park at Camden Yards on June 29, 2025 in Baltimore, Maryland. BALTIMORE, MD - JUNE 29: Félix Bautista #74 of the Baltimore Orioles pitches during a baseball game against the Tampa Bay Rays at Oriole Park at Camden Yards on June 29, 2025 in Baltimore, Maryland. Photo byBautista was an All-Star in 2023 and missed all of last season due to injury, but has returned to the mound with a purpose. The closer has 18 saves for the Orioles and enters the second half with a 2.41 ERA. Bautista is under team control until 2028 and has been the anchor of the Baltimore bullpen this season. If the Orioles are going to move him, they should receive a haul in return for the former American League Reliever of the Year. With the Orioles having their eyes set on returning to contention next season while their young core is still intact, moving Bautista could be the smart play. Relievers are consistently the most volatile position group in Major League Baseball, and many competing teams will be looking for an arm to add at the July 31 deadline. Rosenthal also wrote that the likelihood of trading Bautista is slim, as the Orioles have many players on expiring contracts that will be their focus as the trade season commences. While the Orioles are taking calls on the reliever, they are placing a higher priority on making a deal for All-Star Ryan O'Hearn before any moves, including multi-year controlled players. If the Orioles move Bautista, the team receiving his services will be acquiring a bona fide lockdown closer for the stretch run.

Laureano Drives in Go-Ahead Run in 3-Run 10th Inning as Orioles Blast 3 Homers and Beat Braves 9-6
Ramón Laureano's double in the 10th inning gave Baltimore the lead, and the Orioles hit three home runs in a 9–6 win over the Atlanta Braves on Saturday. Laureano's double down the third-base line off Rafael Montero (0–1) drove in Jordan Westburg from third base. Jacob Stallings added a two-run double in the inning. Félix Bautista (1–1) pitched a scoreless ninth for Baltimore, which has won the first two games of the three-game series. Yennier Cano got the last three outs for his first save. Braves left-hander Aaron Bummer recorded strikeouts on his first five outs before fading quickly in the third. Tyler O'Neill homered to lead off the inning. Bummer walked Cedric Mullins on four pitches and one out later gave up Westburg's two-run homer. Colton Cowser also had a two-run homer for Baltimore in the fourth. Bummer served as the opener in his first start of 374 career games in nine seasons. The Braves needed a bullpen game after right-hander Spencer Schwellenbach landed on the 15-day injured list on Wednesday with a fractured right elbow. Atlanta's rotation already was missing Chris Sale (broken rib), AJ Smith-Shawver (Tommy John surgery), and Reynaldo López (shoulder surgery). Matt Olson drove in two runs with three hits, including a homer, for Atlanta. Austin Riley drove in three runs with two hits, including a two-run homer in the first off Dean Kremer. Key moment: Orioles catcher Gary Sánchez left the game with right knee pain in the fifth inning. The Orioles have three catchers on the IL: Adley Rutschman (left oblique strain), Maverick Handley (concussion), and Chadwick Tromp (lower back strain). Stallings replaced Sánchez. Key stat: The Braves fell to 28–5 when scoring five or more runs. Up next: In a rare 11:35 a.m. ET start for Roku TV, Braves RHP Grant Holmes (4–7, 3.47 ERA) will face Orioles LHP Trevor Rogers (1–0, 2.05) on Sunday.
