The Baltimore Orioles are getting a key piece of their lineup back.

On Friday, the Orioles reinstated outfielder Tyler O'Neill from the 10-day injured list and optioned outfielder Daniel Johnson to Triple-A Norfolk.

O'Neill, in what was his third IL stint on the season due to right wrist inflammation, is now back with the Orioles ahead of their weekend road series against the Toronto Blue Jays.

In addition to his wrist injury, O'Neill has dealt with neck inflammation and a left shoulder impingement this year. As a result, the slugger has been limited to just 43 games after signing a three-year, $49.5 million deal with Baltimore in the offseason.

In a mere 143 at-bats, O'Neill has slashed .210/.293/.434 with a .727 OPS, eight home runs and 23 RBI. O'Neill's injury plagued season is one of the reasons that Baltimore has endured a disappointing campaign in 2025.
