Orioles' Brandon Young: Tosses seven frames in no-decision
Rotowire
Young did not factor into Friday's decision against the Royals, allowing three runs on eight hits and one walk while striking out five across seven innings.
Young was efficient in his outing, tossing just 85 pitches (59 strikes) while generating 10 whiffs. His pitch count was low enough for him to be brought back for the eighth inning, but he was pulled after giving up a game-tying solo homer to Isaac Collins. Despite the late blemish, Young did enough to secure his seventh quality start of the season. He'll enter the All-Star break sporting a 7-2 record (15 starts) with a 3.42 ERA, 1.35 WHIP and 67:31 K:BB over 84.1 innings.

Orioles' Brandon Young: Settles in for win
Rotowire
Young (7-2) earned the win against the Reds on Saturday, allowing four runs on eight hits and three walks with five strikeouts over five innings.
Young allowed four runs through the first two innings but finished with three scoreless frames and benefited from an eight-run outburst from the Orioles. While he was able to log at least five frames for the eighth straight outing, Saturday marked just the second time in 14 contests this season the 27-year-old yielded more than three earned runs. He owns a 3.38 ERA, 1.36 WHIP and 62:30 K:BB across 77.1 innings overall and will take on the Royals at home in his final start before the All-Star break.

Orioles' Brandon Young: Season-high eight Ks in no-decision
Rotowire
Young took a no-decision Saturday against the Nationals, allowing two runs on seven hits and two walks in five innings. He struck out eight.
Young fanned a season-high eight Saturday, and he also continued to supply the Orioles with length. The 27-year-old right-hander has now worked at least five innings in seven consecutive outings, turning in five quality starts during that period. He is far more likely to maintain his rotation spot over rookie righty Trey Gibson once Dean Kremer (quadriceps) comes off the injured list, since Young holds a 3.11 ERA, 1.30 WHIP and 57:27 K:BB over 72.1 frames.

Orioles' Brandon Young: Earns sixth win
Rotowire
Young (6-2) earned the win Sunday, allowing one run on five hits and two walks over five innings against the Dodgers. He struck out five.
Young navigated the vaunted Dodgers offense, allowing a run in the first inning before working the next four frames scoreless. Through four starts in June, the right-hander has posted a 3-1 record with a 2.59 ERA, 1.07 WHIP and 16:8 K:BB across 24.1 innings. The 27-year-old has been a pleasant surprise in 2026, compiling a 3.07 ERA, 1.26 WHIP and 49:25 K:BB across 67.1 innings (12 starts). Young's next start is tentatively scheduled for Saturday against the Nationals.

Orioles' Brandon Young: Takes loss in quality start
Rotowire
Young (5-2) allowed three runs on four hits and four walks while striking out two over six innings to take the loss versus the Mariners on Tuesday.
Young had his best outing of the season against the Mariners in his last start, but he wasn't quite as good in the rematch in Seattle. It was still a fifth straight quality start for the right-hander, who has given the Orioles good pitching more often than not. He's now at a 3.18 ERA, 1.25 WHIP and 44:23 K:BB over 62.1 innings across 11 starts this season. Young's lack of strikeouts limits his usefulness in fantasy, but he's allowed three runs or less in all but one of his starts. He's projected for a tough road start versus the Dodgers in his next outing.
Young (5-1) earned the win Wednesday over the Mariners, allowing two hits and two walks over seven scoreless innings. He struck out five.
It was another excellent outing for Young, who's now logged four straight quality starts -- he's posted a 2.08 ERA across 30.3 innings in that span. The 27-year-old Young lowered his ERA to 3.04 through 10 starts (56.1 innings) this season with a 1.13 WHIP and 33:14 K: BB. He'll look to keep rolling in his next outing, tentatively scheduled as a rematch with the Mariners in Seattle next week.
Young (4-1) earned the win against Toronto on Friday, allowing three runs on seven hits while striking out four across 6.1 innings. He did not issue a walk.
Young was solid for most of Friday's start, limiting the Blue Jays to just one run through four innings before yielding a two-run homer to Brandon Valenzuela in the fifth. Young stayed in the game and pitched into the seventh frame, ending his night with 64 strikes on 85 pitches (75.3 percent strike rate) while logging seven groundouts and 22 first-pitch strikes (to 25 batters). He has registered three consecutive quality starts and is up to four on the season, which has Young sitting at a 3.47 ERA, 1.34 WHIP and 37:17 K:BB across 49.1 innings. He's slated to make his next start next week at home against the Mariners.

Orioles' Brandon Young: Fans seven in quality start
Rotowire
Young didn't factor into the decision in Saturday's 6-5 win over the Blue Jays, allowing two runs on seven hits and a walk over 6.2 innings. He struck out seven.
The seven Ks were a career high for Young, who needed 86 pitches (59 strikes) to deliver his second straight quality start and third of the season. The 27-year-old right-hander was headed for his second loss in eight starts until the O's mounted a five-run rally in the ninth inning. Young will take a 3.35 ERA, 1.37 WHIP and 33:17 K:BB through 43 innings into his next outing, which lines up to be a rematch with the Jays back in Toronto.

Orioles' Brandon Young: Strong showing Sunday
Rotowire
Young allowed two unearned runs on five hits and two walks while striking out four over 6.2 innings in a no-decision versus the Tigers in the first game of Sunday's doubleheader.
Young didn't get much run support while he was on the mound, but the Orioles stepped up after his exit. The right-hander has allowed two or fewer runs in all four of his outings in May, giving up a total of nine runs (seven earned) with a 17:11 K:BB across 21.2 innings this month. For the season, he has a 3.47 ERA, 1.40 WHIP and 26:16 K:BB across 36.1 innings over seven starts. Young's next start is projected to be at home versus the Blue Jays.
Young and the Orioles won't face the Tigers on Saturday, as the game was postponed due to rain.
The two sides will make up Saturday's contest as part of a doubleheader Sunday, and Young will draw the start in the early game, per Roch Kubatko of MASNSports.com. The 27-year-old has given up three earned runs or fewer in five of his six big-league starts this season, though he made it through just 3.2 innings during his most recent outing against the Nationals.

Orioles' Brandon Young: Allows two runs in short outing
Rotowire
Young did not factor into the decision in Sunday's 7-3 win over the Nationals, allowing two runs on five hits and three walks with three strikeouts over 3.2 innings.
Young allowed runs in the second and fourth innings, throwing just 41 of 70 pitches for strikes despite generating 11 whiffs. It marked the 26-year-old's shortest start of the season and was a definite step back after he pitched into the sixth frame in each of his first two May outings. He'll carry a 4.25 ERA, 1.48 WHIP and 22:14 K:BB across 29.2 innings into a home matchup against the Tigers next weekend.

Orioles' Brandon Young: Effective vs. Yankees on Monday
Rotowire
Young allowed two runs on three hits and three walks while striking out five batters over 5.1 innings in a no-decision against the Yankees on Monday.
This was far from Young's most dominant start, but he mostly kept a talented Yankees lineup in check. The right-hander served up a two-run homer to Ben Rice in the second inning and otherwise kept New York out of the scoring column. Young was somewhat wild, throwing only 54 of 97 pitches for strikes and issuing three free passes, but the three hits he allowed were his second-lowest in an outing this season. He'll carry a 4.15 ERA through 26.1 innings into his next start, which lines up to be a road matchup in Washington.
Young (3-1) earned the win Wednesday against the Marlins after allowing three runs on four hits and three walks while striking out five across six innings.
Young did just enough to record his first quality start of the season, but most important, he delivered a bounce-back performance after allowing 10 runs (four earned) in four frames against the Astros the last time out. This was also the first time Young pitched at least six innings in an outing, but the overall results have been far from attractive -- he has allowed at least three earned runs in each of his past three starts. Young will carry a 4.35 ERA, 1.45 WHIP and 14:8 K:BB into his next start, which is tentatively scheduled for next week against the Yankees.

Orioles' Brandon Young: Stumbles vs. Houston
Rotowire
Young (2-1) took the loss in the second game of Thursday's doubleheader against the Astros, allowing 10 runs (seven earned) on 10 hits and two walks over four innings. He struck out two.
Young was solid in his first two major-league starts, allowing just three runs over 10.2 innings. It was a drastically different story Thursday, however, as the Astros tagged the right-hander for five runs in the first inning and another four in the fourth. Despite the rough showing, Young figures to get at least one more look in Baltimore's rotation with Trevor Rogers (illness) and Dean Kremer (quadriceps) sidelined. He's tentatively lined up to face the Marlins on the road in his next outing.

Orioles' Brandon Young: Sticking around in rotation
Rotowire
Young is slated to start Thursday's game against the Astros at Camden Yards.
Young will end up sticking around with the Orioles for a second turn through the rotation after he was called up from Triple-A Norfolk last week in the wake of Dean Kremer (quadriceps) landing on the injured list. While stepping into Kremer's spot in the rotation Friday, Young earned a win while striking out five Red Sox batters and allowing three earned runs on seven hits and one walk. With Kremer due to miss multiple weeks, Young should have a decent amount of leash in the rotation so long as he continues to perform adequately.

Orioles' Brandon Young: Carried to win by offense
Rotowire
Young (2-0) picked up the win Friday in a 10-3 rout of the Red Sox, giving up three runs on seven hits and a walk over 5.2 innings. He struck out five.
Called up Thursday to fill in for Dean Kremer (quadriceps) in the rotation, Young tossed 65 of 93 pitches for strikes in a respectable effort that was backed by a 20-hit, six-homer barrage from Baltimore's bats. The right-hander has gotten the job done in two spot starts this season, but he should get a longer runway this time with Kremer not expected back until at least mid-May. Young will take a 2.53 ERA, 1.13 WHIP and 7:3 K:BB through 10.2 innings into his next outing, which is scheduled to come at home next week against the Astros.
