Beavers went 3-for-5 with a solo home run and two additional runs scored in Wednesday's 8-3 win over the Rangers.
The 24-year-old outfielder launched his first homer of the year in the sixth inning, ripping a Carter Baumler fastball over the fence in right field. Beavers has been used exclusively against right-handed pitching to begin the season, seeing action in all three outfield spots. He's batting .286 (4-for-14) in that role with a double, a homer, three RBI and three runs.

Orioles' Dylan Beavers: Absent from Opening Day lineup
Rotowire
Beavers is not in the lineup for Thursday's opener against the Twins.
Beavers managed to avoid the injured list after being sidelined for the past week with tightness in his right knee and quadriceps. However, the left-handed batter is not in the lineup Opening Day versus righty Joe Ryan, as Orioles manager Craig Albernaz is going with righty bat Tyler O'Neill. It's not a surprise, as Beavers could be a bit rusty and O'Neill also has a major-league record six-game Opening Day home run streak on the line. Beavers and O'Neill are expected to share right field for Baltimore this season rather than operate in a strict platoon.

Orioles' Dylan Beavers: Feels ready for Opening Day
Rotowire
Beavers (knee) said that he was able to turn in a full on-field workout Tuesday and feels ready to go for Thursday's season opener versus the Twins, Jake Rill of MLB.com reports.
Beavers didn't see game action in spring training after experiencing some tightness in his right knee and quadriceps while running last Friday, but the Orioles evidently feel comfortable enough with his health after announcing Wednesday that the 24-year-old outfielder will be part of their 26-man active roster for Opening Day. As a left-handed hitter, Beavers should play at least semi-regularly against right-handed pitching, but he may be deployed in more of a timeshare rather than in the strong side of a platoon after Tyler O'Neill and Samuel Basallo both made strong cases for everyday roles with standout springs.

Orioles' Dylan Beavers: Making progress with knee
Rotowire
Orioles manager Craig Albernaz said Sunday that Beavers is progressing in his recovery from a sore right knee, Andrew Golden of TheBaltimoreBanner.com reports.
The outfielder remains out of the lineup for Sunday's Grapefruit League game against the Nationals, however. The Orioles didn't consider Beavers' injury significant enough to require an MRI, but he's still being viewed as day-to-day as Opening Day approaches. Beavers would alleviate some of the concern about his status by returning to action for Monday's exhibition against Washington.

Orioles' Dylan Beavers: Dealing with quad tightness
Rotowire
Beavers said Saturday that he felt tightness in his quad while running Friday, Jacob Calvin Meyer of The Baltimore Sun reports.
Beavers has reportedly been having trouble with his right quad for a few days, and it bothered him enough Friday for the Orioles to scratch him from their Grapefruit League lineup. He remains optimistic that he'll be ready for Opening Day, though the team hasn't announced any official timeline.

Orioles' Dylan Beavers: In Saturday's lineup
Rotowire
Beavers (shin) will start in left field and bat fifth against the Yankees on Saturday.
Beavers was forced out of Friday's game after he fouled a ball off his right shin, but he won't have to miss a start due to the incident. The 24-year-old has begun his MLB career on a high note since joining the big club in mid-August, slashing .240/.383/.423 across 129 plate appearances.

Orioles' Dylan Beavers: Exits with shin injury
Rotowire
Beavers was removed from Friday's game against the Yankees with right shin discomfort, Andy Kostka of TheBaltimoreBanner.com reports.
Beavers fouled a ball off his lower leg during his at-bat in the fourth inning and was replaced on defense once the O's took the field in the bottom of the frame. The severity of the outfielder's injury isn't immediately clear, but with just two games remaining in the regular season, it's possible the team could keep Beavers on the bench to close out the year as a precaution.

Orioles' Dylan Beavers: Goes deep in win
Rotowire
Beavers went 2-for-5 with a home run, a triple and three RBI in Tuesday's win against the White Sox.
Beavers knocked an RBI triple in the fifth inning before belting a two-run homer in the seventh. It was his second career long ball and first since Aug. 21, snapping a 20-game drought. Beavers owns a strong .275/.420/.438 slash line with eight extra-base hits and 11 RBI through his first 101 plate appearances, but he has only one steal in two attempts for Baltimore after going 23-for-28 on the basepaths at Triple-A Norfolk prior to his promotion.

Orioles' Dylan Beavers: Idle against southpaw
Rotowire
Beavers is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Padres, Jake Rill of MLB.com reports.
With a lefty (Nestor Cortes) on the hill for San Diego, the left-handed-hitting Beavers will retreat to the bench after a stretch of five consecutive starts. Since receiving his first MLB call-up Aug. 16, Beavers is hitting .314 with one home run, one stolen base and a 16.4 percent walk rate through 61 plate appearances. The 24-year-old outfielder should get the chance to play on a near-everyday basis for the rest of the season.

Orioles' Dylan Beavers: First day off Monday
Rotowire
Beavers is not in the lineup for Monday's contest against the Red Sox.
Beavers started in each of the first eight games for the Orioles upon getting called up from Triple-A Norfolk on Aug. 16, but he will begin Monday's series opener on the bench. The Orioles faced all righties during those eight games and are going up against a left-handed opener in Brennan Bernardino on Monday, but the left-handed-hitting Beavers won't necessarily be deployed exclusively as a strong-side platoon player over the final five weeks of the season. Beavers will give up his spot in left field to Dylan Carlson on Monday.

Orioles' Dylan Beavers: Hits first big-league homer
Rotowire
Beavers went 1-for-3 with a solo home run, a walk and two total RBI in Thursday's 7-2 loss to the Astros.
Beavers took Jason Alexander deep in the second inning and added a second RBI with a fielder's choice in the sixth. The homer was the first of Beavers' big-league career. He's off to a great start in the majors, batting .294 (5-for-17) with a 5:5 BB:K over his first five games. He'll likely continue to hold down a starting role in the corner outfield for the remainder of the campaign as long as his hitting stays strong.

Rotowire
The Orioles selected Beavers' contract from Triple-A Norfolk on Saturday.

The 23-year-old has put together an outstanding .304/.420/.515 slash line at Norfolk to go along with 18 homers and 23 stolen bases.

Beavers was placed on Triple-A Norfolk's 7-day injured list Friday due to a right shoulder AC sprain, Roch Kubatko of MASNSports.com reports.
Beavers was scratched from Thursday's lineup after running into the outfield wall during batting practice, and the injury is severe enough for him to need a stint on the 7-day IL, per Jake Rill of MLB.com. Beavers is slashing .303/.397/.421 with 15 steals, three home runs and 18 RBI across 175 plate appearances in Triple-A this season.

Orioles' Dylan Beavers: Climbs to Double-A
Rotowire
The Orioles promoted Beavers from High-A Aberdeen to Double-A Bowie on Wednesday.
Beavers, the 33rd overall pick in the 2022 First-Year Player Draft, earned the move to the Eastern League after posting an .832 OPS while walking in 13.9 percent of his plate appearances and stealing 22 bases in 28 attempts. The 21-year-old hit only nine home runs in his 85 games at Aberdeen, but at 6-foot-4, he possesses the sort of frame to add power as he matures.
