Orioles Star Outfielder Taking Positive Steps in His Recovery Process

The Baltimore Orioles were the talk of the baseball world this weekend when it was announced that they had fired manager Brandon Hyde.

It was a tough decision for the franchise to make, with Hyde overseeing the team during the early parts of their rebuild. He helped turn things around with an incredibly talented young core, but the brutal start to the 2025 campaign ultimately did him in and has their playoff odds on life support after being considered contenders coming into the year.

The Orioles are 15-28 entering play on May 17, riding a four-game losing streak and being defeated in 10 out of their last 12 games.

The two main culprits for Baltimore’s struggles this season has been abysmal performances from their starting rotation and inconsistent performances from the lineup.

A major reason the offense has sputtered is because they haven’t had their projected starting lineup coming into the season on the field once.

Injuries have been a consistent theme for the Orioles, but at least they have received some positive news on one of their key contributors.
