O'Neill is absent from the lineup for Wednesday's game versus the Yankees.
After making six straight starts against right-handed pitching, the lefty-swinging O'Neill will take a seat Wednesday for the second consecutive time versus a righty. Pete Alonso will occupy the designated-hitter slot and Leody Taveras will play right field for Baltimore.

Orioles' Tyler O'Neill: Hitting bench Sunday
Rotowire
O'Neill is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Rays.
Per Jacob Calvin Meyer of The Baltimore Sun, first baseman Pete Alonso is nursing a minor calf injury that will keep him from playing defense Sunday, but he'll remain in the lineup at designated hitter and bump O'Neill to the bench. O'Neill started the last eight games and went 6-for-28 (.214 average) with one home run and a 6:10 BB:K.

Orioles' Tyler O'Neill: Playing time on upswing
Rotowire
O'Neill will start at designated hitter and bat cleanup Sunday against the Rangers.
O'Neill will draw a third straight start after getting on base five times in the first two contests of the series. Since the All-Star break, O'Neill has posted a 1.026 OPS over 15 games, and his red-hot bat looks like it has earned him more opportunities against right-handed pitching.

Orioles' Tyler O'Neill: Hits go-ahead home run
Rotowire
O'Neill went 1-for-3 with a two-run home run in Wednesday's 5-2 win over the Angels.
O'Neill smashed a homer to left after Gunnar Henderson walked to make the lead 2-0 in the fourth. The Orioles traded away Taylor Ward and have Blaze Alexander on the 10-day IL (hand), which opened up more opportunities in the outfield for the scuffling O'Neill. But, things may be looking up for O'Neill after hitting homers in three of his last five games.

Orioles' Tyler O'Neill: Smacks eighth homer off bench
Rotowire
O'Neill homered in his lone at-bat as a pinch hitter during Tuesday's 3-1 win over the Angels.
O'Neill gave the Orioles an insurance run in the eighth inning Tuesday. Baltimore traded away Taylor Ward on Monday, opening up plenty of reps in its outfield, and O'Neill is making a case in his part-time role for more playing time. He's batting .304 with six homers, two doubles and 10 RBI over his last 46 at-bats (19 games) since the start of July and is now slashing .213/.298/.388 with eight long balls, eight doubles and 18 RBI across 205 plate appearances for the season.

Orioles' Tyler O'Neill: Homers again Thursday
Rotowire
O'Neill went 1-for-3 with a solo home run in Thursday's 3-2 win over the Cubs.
O'Neill opened the scoring by leading off the second inning with a solo homer off David Peterson. After managing just two long balls through his first 52 games this season, the veteran outfielder has caught fire with four home runs over his last five contests. Despite the recent surge, he closes in on the All-Star break with what would be career lows across the board, slashing .196/.296/.358.

Orioles' Tyler O'Neill: Swats two homers in loss
Rotowire
O'Neill went 2-for-2 with two solo home runs in Wednesday's 9-7 loss to the Cubs.
The two teams combined for nine long balls on the night, and O'Neill made his contributions even though he began the game on the bench -- after launching a pinch-hit homer off Drew Pomeranz in the seventh inning, he went yard again in the eighth off Caleb Thielbar as Baltimore tried to put together a late rally from a 9-3 deficit. O'Neill has five homers on the season in 55 contests, but three of them have come in his last 10 plate appearances. Over his last 16 games, the veteran outfielder has compiled a .273/.360/.591 slash line and pushed for consistent playing time, but his 34.0 percent strikeout rate during that stretch remains a red flag.

Orioles' Tyler O'Neill: Pops rare homer Wednesday
Rotowire
O'Neill went 1-for-2 with a solo home run and a walk in Wednesday's 6-1 win over the White Sox.
The veteran outfielder launched his first homer Wednesday since May 16 in Washington. With Dylan Beavers recently returning from the injured list, O'Neill is likely to remain stuck in a part-time role in the outfield going forward. O'Neill is slugging a career-low .295 this season and is also batting a paltry .187 with three homers, six doubles and nine RBI over 159 plate appearances.

Orioles' Tyler O'Neill: Back on bench Sunday
Rotowire
O'Neill is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Padres.
O'Neill had been included in the starting nine in four of the past five games and went 6-for-16 with four doubles and a walk during that stretch, but he might have to settle for a part-time role due to Samuel Basallo being healthy and getting prioritized at designated hitter. O'Neill should still get the chance to play regularly versus lefties, and he'll likely get some occasional opportunities in right field against right-handed pitching at the expense of Leody Taveras.

Orioles' Tyler O'Neill: Pops solo homer in rout
Rotowire
O'Neill went 1-for-4 with a solo home run in Saturday's 13-3 loss to Washington.
O'Neill has fallen into a weak-side platoon role during his second year with the Orioles, ceding most of the action at designated hitter to the left-handed-hitting Samuel Basallo. The lefty-hitting Dylan Beavers was serving as Baltimore's primary right fielder before going on the injured list Wednesday with a right oblique strain, but now the door is open for O'Neill to play nearly every day in the interim. O'Neill has gone a dreadful 2-for-29 (.069) versus southpaws this year, but he's batting a more respectable .250 with two home runs, one double, seven RBI and eight walks over 40 at-bats against right-handed pitching.
Orioles' Tyler O'Neill: Activated from injured list
Rotowire
The Orioles activated O'Neill (concussion) from the 7-day injured list Friday.
O'Neill hasn't played since April 8, as he initially missed time with an illness before fainting from dehydration and suffering a concussion. Prior to his time on the injured list, O'Neill slashed .241/.353/.345 with one home run, four RBI, six runs scored and a 3:6 BB:K across 34 plate appearances. Dylan Beavers and Leody Taveras have been seeing more playing time with O'Neill idle.

Orioles' Tyler O'Neill: Works out on field
Rotowire
O'Neill (concussion) did some agility work on the field at Kauffmann Stadium on Monday, Matt Weyrich of The Baltimore Sun reports.
O'Neill is slowly easing back into activities as he works his way back from a concussion. He hasn't played in a game in nearly two weeks, so there's a good chance O'Neill will need a short rehab assignment before rejoining the Orioles' active roster.
Orioles' Tyler O'Neill: Needs more time to recover
Rotowire
Manager Craig Albernaz said Friday that O'Neill (concussion) needs more time to recover and still has yet to clear protocol, Jake Rill of MLB.com reports.
O'Neill is eligible to come off the 7-day concussion injured list Saturday, but that's not going to happen. With O'Neill sidelined, Dylan Beavers and Leody Taveras will continue to see regular at-bats in the Baltimore outfield mix.
O'Neill (illness) is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Giants, Jake Rill of MLB.com reports.
After being scratched from the lineup Saturday, O'Neill will get another day off to recuperate from his ailment. With Ryan Mountcastle (foot) also unavailable and Samuel Basallo needed at catcher, the Orioles will turn to Dylan Beavers to serve as their designated hitter Sunday.

Orioles' Tyler O'Neill: Suffered concussion while ill
Rotowire
O'Neill suffered a concussion while he was dehydrated from an illness Thursday, Jacob Calvin Meyer of The Baltimore Sun reports.
O'Neill was absent from the Orioles' lineups Friday and Saturday due to an illness before he was placed on the 7-day concussion injured list Sunday. Manager Craig Albernaz explained that the outfielder fainted while he was under the weather Thursday, and the team believes he banged his head when he fell, ultimately suffering a concussion. O'Neill will be forced miss at least the next handful of games while recovering, and in his absence, Leody Taveras is a top candidate to see increased opportunities in the lineup.
