Overview
- The Orioles placed right-hander Ryan Helsley on the 15-day injured list after he felt elbow discomfort while warming in the bullpen and was shut down.
- Baltimore recalled right-hander Anthony Nunez and infielder/outfielder Jeremiah Jackson from Triple-A Norfolk and designated catcher Chadwick Tromp for assignment to open roster spots.
- This is Helsley’s second IL stint of the season for right elbow inflammation that was previously treated with medication and rehab appearances without surgery.
- Helsley has converted eight of nine save chances this season but showed performance swings, posting a 2.53 ERA before his first IL stint and a 7.71 ERA in five outings after returning.
- The club’s near-term priorities are covering late innings and monitoring whether Helsley’s shutdown will require further treatment, and the Tromp move frees an active roster spot for immediate bullpen depth.
