O'Neill will remain with the Orioles after declining to exercise the opt-out clause in his contract, Andy Kostka of TheBaltimoreBanner.com reports.
O'Neill is owed $33 million over the next two years, and he's wisely decided to opt into that deal after slashing just .199/.292/.392 over 54 games in his first year in Baltimore. The 30-year-old should bounce back to some degree in 2026, but he will remain an injury risk.
O'Neill is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Yankees.
O'Neill will sit for the second time this weekend as the Orioles continue to manage his workload following his return from the 10-day injured list Sept. 12. Since being activated, O'Neill has gone 2-for-19 with five walks, two stolen bases, one RBI and one run in six games.

Rotowire
The Orioles activated O'Neill (wrist) from the 10-day injured list Friday.
O'Neill missed the last five-plus weeks with right wrist inflammation but is ready to go after playing three rehab games and homering in his final rehab contest Wednesday at Triple-A Norfolk. Jeremiah Jackson has played well in right field in O'Neill's stead and could become the Orioles' regular third baseman now that O'Neill is back in the fold.
