The Baltimore Orioles are set to play the New York Yankees in the second contest of a four-game series on Saturday. New York earned a 7-2 victory to begin the series on Friday. Ahead of Saturday’s game, the Orioles announced four roster moves.
Left-handed pitcher Dietrich Enns was reinstated from the 15-day injured list. Left-handed pitcher Nick Raquet was recalled from the Triple-A level. Meanwhile, right-handed pitcher Tyler Wells was optioned to Triple-A and right-handed pitcher Albert Suarez was designated for assignment.
Enns, 34, pitched to a 4.15 ERA across three outings before landing on the injured list. His return should help the O’s.
Wells has pitched to 3.44 ERA in 14 outings in 2026. Nevertheless, he was optioned to the Triple-A level. Suarez, meanwhile, was designated for assignment after turning in a 3.45 ERA in six appearances this season.
The Orioles have had ups and downs throughout the 2026 campaign. Baltimore has endured inconsistency, but the Orioles have displayed signs of potential .
At 15-17 overall, Baltimore is currently in third place in the American League East standings. They are six games back of the Yankees for first place. This series should give them a realistic opportunity to climb the standings, but the Yankees already hold a 1-0 series lead.
Baltimore would certainly love to get the job done on Saturday. It should be a competitive game as the O’s hope to get the upset on the road at Yankee Stadium in New York. First pitch for the Yankees and Orioles matchup on Saturday afternoon is scheduled for 1:35 PM EST.
