Baltimore Orioles outfielder Tyler O’Neill, currently recovering from a shoulder injury, is preparing to rejoin the team in Seattle.
The Baltimore Orioles’ 2025 season has not gone as planned so far. Manager Brandon Hyde has been relieved of his duties, and several key players—including catcher Adley Rutschman and outfielder Colton Cowser—have struggled with injuries or underperformance. The pitching staff has also been a major disappointment, with veteran additions made by general manager Mike Elias failing to deliver. However, there may be a glimmer of hope ahead. Veteran outfielder Tyler O’Neill recently spoke to beat writer Andy Kostka about his recovery from a shoulder impingement as he prepares to travel with the team to Seattle for an upcoming series against the Mariners.
“Tyler O’Neill said he thinks the shoulder impingement is related to his earlier neck inflammation,” posted Kostka on X (formerly Twitter) Saturday. “He plans to travel to Seattle with the team as he continues working toward a return. He hit today in on-field BP.”
Hopefully, this insight will aid O’Neill’s recovery and help prevent similar injuries in the future. The veteran outfielder is in the first year of a three-season contract with Baltimore, brought in for his power, defense, and leadership. Both general manager Mike Elias and interim manager Tony Mansolino would undoubtedly prefer a healthy O’Neill in the lineup. When he does return to the field, can O’Neill help the Orioles turn things around?
