However, the <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/mlb/los-angeles-dodgers/dodgers-news-fans-erupt-waste-yoshinobu-yamamoto-near-no-hitter">Orioles have taken on the role of spoiler</a>. The team has won eight of nine games in September and five of six matchups against contenders. Baltimore has the Toronto Blue Jays in its sights next and will receive a boost from <a href="https://www.baltimorebaseball.com/sports/orioles-mlb/2025/09/12/orioles-activate-tyler-oneill-injured-list-2-richdubroff/?utm_source=dlvr.it&amp;utm_medium=twitter&amp;utm_campaign=orioles-activate-tyler-oneill-injured-list-2" rel="noopener">the return</a> of Tyler O’Neill.</p><p>The Orioles activated O’Neill from the 10-day IL on Friday, per Rich Dubroff of Baltimore Baseball. The outfielder will return to the team in time for the series opener against Toronto.</p><p><a href="https://clutchpoints.com/mlb/baltimore-orioles/orioles-news-injury-update-phillies">O’Neill landed on the IL</a> most recently with right wrist discomfort. He’s been sidelined by the ailment since August 5, missing the last 31 games.</p><h2><b>Tyler O’Neill will return after 17th-career IL stint</b></h2><figure><img src="https://wp.clutchpoints.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/09/Tyler-ONeill-ii.jpg"><figcaption>James A. Pittman-Imagn Images</figcaption></figure><p>The <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/mlb/baltimore-orioles/tyler-oneill-orioles-agree-to-huge-49-5-million-contract">Orioles signed O’Neill</a> to a three-year, $49.5 million contract in December. Unfortunately, he’s missed the majority of his debut campaign with Baltimore. The eighth-year veteran has been placed on the injured list three times this season.</p><p><a href="https://clutchpoints.com/mlb/baltimore-orioles/orioles-make-tough-tyler-oneill-move-amid-neck-injury">O’Neill suffered neck soreness</a> in April, which sidelined him for 14 games. Then a shoulder impingement in May led to a 45-game absence. O’Neill returned to the lineup in July but again landed on the injured list with the wrist ailment in early August. All told, he’s missed 91 games so far this season.</p><p>The Orioles were aware that durability has been a persistent issue in O’Neill’s career. He’s only played more than 96 games twice in eight seasons and he’s never played more than 138 games. The outfielder has made 17 trips to the IL since debuting in 2018.</p><p>When on the field, O’Neill offers tantalizing upside. In the two seasons he was able to play more than 100 games he topped 30 home runs. And he’s a complete player, with two Gold Gloves for his work in left.</p><p>O’Neill has primarily played right field since joining the Orioles. Unfortunately, he hasn’t lived up to his dual threat billing when in the lineup this season. O’Neill is slashing .210/.293/.434 with eight home runs, 23 RBI, 20 runs scored, 100 OPS+ and 0.0 bWAR in 43 games.</p><p>O’Neill will return to the Orioles lineup as the team attempts to create some momentum for 2026 with a strong finish. In addition to the upcoming series against the Blue Jays, Baltimore still has seven games remaining against the New York Yankees this season. The Orioles are positioned to play a big role in deciding the division winner.</p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>

So even with guys getting on, even when things maybe get a little dicey, they stay cool and are able to grind it out and keep the score down, let our offense come back in and score one. Luckily, the last couple games, it’s been enough to win.”</p><p>The <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/mlb/baltimore-orioles/orioles-news-trevor-rogers-reveals-key-baltimore-stepping-up-after-trade-deadline">Orioles have found a rhythm</a>, and the hope is that it can continue to the end of the season.</p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>

In his place, <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/mlb/baltimore-orioles/orioles-news-tony-mansolinos-fearless-take-on-whats-ahead-for-baltimore">Tommy Mansolino stepped in as the interim Orioles manager</a> and immediately made it clear he was only holding the role temporarily. Meanwhile, rumors about Baltimore legend Cal Ripken Jr. surfaced, but sources indicate he has <a href="https://www.espn.com/mlb/story/_/id/46200122/mlb-2025-buster-olney-manager-gm-exec-front-office-changes-decisions" rel="noopener">no interest in taking over</a> the managerial job.

However, he is reportedly content with his current life and not considering the position. Even so, many fans still see him as the ideal candidate to restore stability and credibility to the dugout. For now, though, the possibility of Ripken becoming Orioles manager remains unlikely.</p><p>At the same time, Mansolino has quietly earned support from several current players, which could influence general manager Mike Elias’ decision. Under his leadership, the Orioles have shown flashes of improvement, playing over .500 despite persistent pitching concerns. Although Mansolino has steadied the team after a disastrous start, the organization’s lack of pitching depth remains a pressing issue. Therefore, whether his interim success will be enough to secure a permanent role is still uncertain.</p><p>Ultimately, Elias faces a critical decision as he weighs internal continuity against bringing in a fresh voice. With Brandon Hyde already out and Ripken out of the running, the Orioles’ managerial search now shifts focus. Tommy Mansolino is gaining momentum, and the decision will center on balancing player support, organizational direction, and the urgent need to rebuild their pitching staff. For now, the future remains unclear. However, the choice of the next Orioles manager could shape the franchise for years to come.</p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>

As the ball drifted toward the right-center wall, the rookie outfielder gave chase, only to pull up short as the ball disappeared into the seats. To some, it looked like Pages quit on the play. In reality, he <a href="https://www.mlb.com/news/andy-pages-play-yoshinobu-yamamoto-no-hit-bid" rel="noopener">never had a chance.</a></p><p>The replay angles made Holliday’s Statcast-projected 362-foot shot appear catchable. But multiple Orioles staffers later confirmed that the ball cleared the wall and landed on a black railing roughly four feet behind the fence and about 18 inches higher. That positioning meant Pages would have needed superhuman reach to even touch it.</p><p>“I’d like to think that if there was any chance to make a play on a no-hitter play that you would just exhaust every effort,” manager Dave Roberts said afterward. “But again, I couldn’t tell, and I refuse to go back and look at it.” The reality is clear: short of growing Stretch Armstrong arms mid-sprint, Pages couldn’t have saved Yamamoto.</p><h2><b>Dodgers waste Yoshinobu Yamamoto’s near no-hitter</b></h2><figure><img src="https://wp.clutchpoints.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/09/Yoshinobu-Yamamoto_db7e47.jpg"></figure><p>Instead, the Dodgers watched Holliday’s homer flip a potential milestone into another gut punch. Yamamoto had been dazzling, mixing elevated fastballs with his trademark splitter and curveball. The Japanese ace struck out Alex Jackson and induced a flyout from Coby Mayo before Holliday’s swing spoiled it all.</p><p>“The location wasn’t bad,” Yamamoto said through an interpreter. “His swing, he just put a good swing on it.” His catcher for the night, Ben Rortvedt, agreed: “He didn’t get all of it, but he got enough to poke it out.”</p><p>What should have been a crowning moment unraveled into catastrophe. The Dodgers’ bullpen, already reeling from weeks of struggles, failed spectacularly. Blake Treinen let a two-out rally snowball into chaos, hitting Gunnar Henderson, walking two more, and forcing Roberts to summon closer Tanner Scott.</p><p>One night after blowing a save, Scott surrendered Emmanuel Rivera’s walk-off single, capping a 4–3 collapse that marked the Dodgers’ fifth straight loss. “I have to get one flipping out, and I didn’t do it,” Treinen admitted. “Yama deserves better than that.”</p><p>The bigger picture is no less concerning. Los Angeles has dropped seven of its last eight against last-place clubs, with the bullpen responsible for most of the damage. Scott has now allowed 10 homers this year, and Treinen’s ERA ballooned over four. Roberts hasn’t committed to changes yet, though he admitted it may become necessary.</p><p>The whispers have even turned to Shohei Ohtani as a potential postseason reliever, a wild card that underscores how unsettled things have become. “We’re going to do whatever we feel gives us the best chance to win,” Roberts said. “I know Shohei would be open to whatever.”</p><p>For Yamamoto, the near-miss was another reminder of how fine the line between triumph and heartbreak can be. He nearly joined Hideo Nomo and Hisashi Iwakuma as the only Japanese-born pitchers with MLB no-hitters, only to watch it slip away on pitch 112.</p><p>The Dodgers’ $325 million investment showed exactly why they paid the price. But the bullpen, yet again, reminded everyone why the defending champs suddenly feel so vulnerable. From no-hitter dreams to walk-off nightmares, the Dodgers’ night ended with more questions than answers.</p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>

The blast not only gave the Dodgers an early lead but also pulled Ohtani into a six-way tie for third place in MLB history for most leadoff home runs in a season. He now stands second only to Kyle Schwarber’s 15 (2024) and Alfonso Soriano’s 13 (2003).</p><p>Two innings later, Ohtani struck again. After working the count to 2-0, he hammered another pitch from Sugano 399 feet over the wall for his 48th homer of the season and his 23rd career multi-homer game. Betts followed immediately with a solo shot of his own, his second of the series, staking the Dodgers to a 3-0 lead. All three Dodgers home runs came off Sugano, who exited in the fourth inning after being struck on the foot by a Hyeseong Kim line drive.</p><p>Shohei Ohtani reached base in all five of his plate appearances, finishing 2-for-2 with two homers, three walks, and three runs scored. The game was also his first time this season reaching base five times. His 96 walks now tie his career high. Against Sugano specifically, Ohtani is a perfect 4-for-4 across their careers, including prior matchups in Nippon Professional Baseball.</p><p>Miguel Rojas added to the Dodgers’ offense with a single in the fourth inning, later scoring on a throwing error by Orioles catcher Alex Jackson. Rojas has been a steady presence at the plate, going 6-for-18 (.333) with two doubles during the road trip.</p><p>Clayton Kershaw worked a strong game on the mound, striking out eight and allowing two runs over 5 2/3 innings. The 37-year-old improved to 10-2 and won his sixth consecutive decision. Remarkably, it was the first time in his 18-year career that he had ever faced the Orioles, leaving Boston as the only team he has yet to defeat. Kershaw is now 8-1 in 12 starts following Dodgers losses this season, with Los Angeles winning nine of those games.</p><p>The Dodgers bullpen handled the rest. Rookie Justin Wrobleski struck out five straight batters over two scoreless innings, while Jack Dreyer closed the game for his third save.</p><p>Baltimore entered the game on a five-game winning streak, but managed only two runs in the sixth inning after Kershaw’s departure. The Orioles had chances late, but Wrobleski and Dreyer slammed the door.</p><p>The Dodgers return home to open a three-game set against the Colorado Rockies on Monday, while the Orioles will host the Pittsburgh Pirates after a day off.</p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>

After four straight losses, LA was riding Yoshinobu Yamamoto’s arm to a victory. The Dodgers ace was nearly flawless through 8.2 innings. Then everything fell apart. Yamamoto became the <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/mlb/los-angeles-dodgers/dodgers-news-yoshinobu-yamamoto-suffers-shocking-twist-last-seen-1923">first pitcher in over 100 years</a> to lose a no-hitter with two outs in the ninth inning.</p><p>Handed a 3-1 lead and needing just one out, the Dodgers’ bullpen turned disappointment into catastrophe. The Orioles rallied for four runs in the ninth and walked off Los Angeles for the second straight game.</p><p>While manager <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/mlb/los-angeles-dodgers/dodgers-news-dave-roberts-no-complaints-after-shocking-loss-orioles">Dave Roberts had “no complaints”</a> following the devastating defeat, Blake Treinen was <a href="https://x.com/SportsNetLA/status/1964521197439504526" rel="noopener">not so forgiving</a> of his performance. “I had to get one flippin’ out, I didn’t do it… That’s a pretty low point for me, coming off the heels of kind of a tough stretch right here. But I’ve got to be better,” he said, per SportsNet LA.</p><h2><b>Blake Treinen earns the loss in Dodgers’ collapse</b></h2><figure><img src="https://wp.clutchpoints.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/09/Blake-Treinen-2.jpg"><figcaption>Kirby Lee-Imagn Images</figcaption></figure><p>A visibly shaken Treinen stood in front of reporters after <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/mlb/los-angeles-dodgers/dodgers-news-fans-erupt-waste-yoshinobu-yamamoto-near-no-hitter">blowing the save against the Orioles</a>, attempting to explain what went wrong. He loaded the bases and walked in a run before being taken out. Tanner Scott replaced him and gave up a walk-off, two-run single. When the smoke cleared, Treinen ended up with the loss, allowing three runs on one hit, two walks and a HBP.</p><p>“Obviously command [was missing]. There’s really no words. You’re paid to be a professional and at least throw strikes, and I didn’t do that. Cost one of the better outings I’ve ever seen in my career with Yama. He deserves better than that. Offense deserves better than that. Just really sucks to be on that end of it. Put Tanner in a tough position to come in, where he’s key-holed to have to throw strikes,” Treinen said.</p><p>Although it was an unusual circumstance, the 11th-year veteran didn’t blame the no-hitter bid for his performance. “Oddly enough, I’ve had to do it once before. Back in ‘18. Sean Manaea. So I kinda understand that I pace myself– That’s not an excuse for how I performed. I’ve just gotta be better. Throw strikes,” Treinen explained.</p><p>It’s been a rough series for the Dodgers’ bullpen so far. <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/mlb/los-angeles-dodgers/dodgers-news-tanner-scott-blows-another-save-walk-off-home-run">Scott served up a walk-off home run</a> to the Orioles in the opener. And now both of LA’s top relievers failed to get a single out with a two-run lead in the ninth inning.</p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>

But he loaded the bases before walking in a run.</p><p>With the score now 3-2, Scott got the ball. And he gave up a game-winning, two-run single to Emmanual Rivera. <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/mlb/los-angeles-dodgers/dodgers-news-tanner-scott-blows-another-save-walk-off-home-run">Scott allowed a walk-off to the Orioles</a> for the second straight game and the Dodgers suffered their fifth consecutive loss. The team has now dropped seven of the last eight contests.</p><p>Unlike Roberts, Treinen isn’t good with the outcome. “I have to get one flippin’ out, and I didn’t do it,” he said, per Harris. “There’s really no words. You’re paid to be a professional and at least throw strikes, and I didn’t do that. Cost one of the better outings I’ve ever seen in my career with Yama. He deserves better than that. Offense deserves better than that. Just really sucks to be on that end of it,” he added.</p><p>With the San Diego Padres’ win on Saturday the Dodgers’ lead in the NL West is down to one game. The team will turn to Clayton Kershaw to end the losing streak on Sunday.</p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>

He made it through three innings without giving up any hits or runs against one of the league’s flashiest offenses. However, Mansolino’s starter could not make it any further into the game. According to Baltimore Sun writer Matt Weyrich, there were <a href="https://x.com/ByMattWeyrich/status/1964116914445111561" rel="noopener">no specific details</a> on the pitcher’s injury.</p><p>“Dean Kremer is coming out of this game.

However, the National League MVP candidate found himself in a pitcher’s duel against Kremer. When Enns came into the game in the fourth inning, the Dodgers’ offense was able to attack the young replacement. However, Kremer’s status is the Orioles’ main concern.</p><p>Baltimore’s season has been far from what it expected. However, <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/mlb/baltimore-orioles/orioles-news-trevor-rogers-reveals-key-baltimore-stepping-up-after-trade-deadline">Orioles veterans have spoken about how important the rest of the season is</a> to the team. Finding players like Kremer who can become key contributors on the 2026 roster is something that Mansolino and the coaching staff have put emphasis on this season.</p><p>The Orioles’ medical staff took Kremer into the clubhouse to try and determine what is ailing the starting pitcher.

He has experience covering and writing on high school, collegiate, and professional sports.</address><h3 class="op-kicker">Baltimore Orioles</h3><figure class="op-ad"></figure></header><p>The Baltimore Orioles took a huge step back this season. They came into the year with championship aspirations because of their young core of former elite prospects, but instead, they have been one of the biggest disappointments in the league.</p><p>The team is currently 64-76 and well out of the playoff picture, and they were even <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/mlb/mlb-stories/padres-orioles-trade-grades-for-blockbuster-ryan-ohearn-ramon-laureano">big trade deadline sellers</a>. The letdown of a year was caused largely in part because the Orioles were unwilling to spend last offseason. The team let both their ace, Corbin Burnes, and their best home-run hitter, <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/mlb/toronto-blue-jays/mlb-rumors-blue-jays-anthony-santander-4-year-82-million-contract-offer">Anthony Santander, walk in free agency.</a></p><p>The Orioles can’t afford to pinch pennies again. If the young core is to reach their potential, they need to be surrounded with the right veterans, and there are a number of players who make sense for Baltimore to pursue in free agency after the season.</p><h2><b>Dylan Cease</b></h2><p>There are plenty of bats in Baltimore. Even after <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/mlb/new-york-mets/cedric-mullins-trade-grades-for-mets-orioles">trading Cedric Mullins</a>, Ryan O’Hearn, and Ramon Laureano, the Orioles still have a great young core of offensive players. Adley Rutschman, Gunner Henderson, and Jackson Holliday are former No. 1-ranked prospects who have star potential. Colton Cowser, Jordan Westburg, and Heston Kjserstad are great young players, too, and Coby Mayo, Dylan Beavers, and Samuel Basallo also were recently promoted to the majors.</p><p>The team has more than enough offensive depth, but they need pitching help to course-correct their mistake of letting Burnes walk in free agency. Cease is the top starting pitcher set to hit the open market. The <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/mlb/mlb-stories/mlb-rumors-what-astros-wouldnt-trade-padres-dylan-cease">Padres held onto him at the trade deadline</a> despite rumors that they were going to move him, but they seem unwilling to pay what it will take to retain him.</p><p>Therefore, Cease could be departing in free agency. The Orioles need to capitalize and sign the player who was once a rumored trade target <a href="https://www.newsweek.com/sports/mlb/padres-predicted-trade-108-million-superstar-pitcher-al-powerhouse-2050371" rel="noopener">for the Orioles</a>. Cease has never made an All-Star Game, but he has twice been in the running for the Cy Young award, and he certainly is one of the best players at his position in all of baseball.</p><p>The Orioles have struggled with injuries to their pitching staff, so they need somebody who could slot in at the front of their rotation and win games as their ace. Cease has nasty stuff and would help get the Orioles to the next level.</p><h2><b>Devin Williams</b></h2><figure><img src="https://wp.clutchpoints.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/09/779671486-devin-williams.jpg"><figcaption>Gregory Fisher-USA TODAY Sports</figcaption></figure><p>The Orioles don’t only need help at starting pitcher; they also need an influx of talent for their bullpen. Devin Williams, like Cease, is having a down year, but he was not only one of the best relievers in the game but one of the <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/mlb/mlb-stories/ranking-50-best-mlb-players-2025-season">best MLB overall players</a> coming into the season.</p><p>The Orioles should buy low on Williams and expect a return to stardom. Williams has one of the best and fastest fastballs in the sport and three consecutive seasons with a sub-2.00 ERA prior to this year.</p><p>The Orioles traded many of their top relievers, including Gregory Soto, Seranthony Dominguez, Bryan Baker, and Andrew Kittridge, so it’ll take more than just Williams to get the bullpen to where it needs to be. The current New York Yankee would be a great start, though. He can work as a closer or setup man, which would work perfectly in Baltimore because Felix Bautista is an elite closer when healthy, but he has struggled to stay on the field in recent years.</p><p>Cease and Williams will be two of the best free agents available this offseason, and nothing about how the Orioles conduct business would make one assume that they’d be willing to spend the money that it will take to acquire them. Baltimore might need a philosophical change in how they approach spending if they are to maximize their young core, though.</p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>

Of the 25 games they have left on the schedule, 16 of them will be coming against teams with a winning record. In fact, they will be facing the New York Yankees seven times, the Los Angeles Dodgers, Toronto Blue Jays, and San Diego Padres three times each.</p><p>However, as intimidating as that sounds, Orioles manager Tony Mansolino is not afraid and he <a href="https://www.baltimorebaseball.com/sports/orioles-mlb/2025/08/31/orioles-suffer-another-frustrating-loss-verlander-giants-13-2-richdubroff/" rel="noopener">backs his team</a> to do their best against the teams that, if the season ended today, would qualify for the postseason.</p><p>“I have probably more optimism than that. We’ve got Kyle Bradish going tomorrow [and probably Tyler Wells on Tuesday]. We have some good things happening. This last week has been rough. I don’t think we can take this last week and indict the team’s future on that. I think I’m probably more going to look at what’s happened over the last couple months,” Mansolino said, per Rich Dubroff of Baltimore Baseball.</p><p>Baltimore has gone 2-8 over their past 10 games, and <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/mlb/baltimore-orioles/orioles-adley-rutschman-lands-on-il-ahead-astros-clash">they’ve been ravaged by injuries</a> and underperformance from their key guys all year long. But Mansolino has faith that the Orioles will right the ship in no time, difficult schedule notwithstanding.</p><p>“The big leagues are hard and the schedule’s hard and it’s a huge opportunity for a lot of guys, and I’ve got a lot of faith and confidence in these guys that they’ll kind of bounce back and play a better game tomorrow,” Mansolino added.</p><h2><b>Orioles look to bounce back in 2026</b></h2><figure><img src="https://wp.clutchpoints.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/08/Adley-Rutschman.jpg"><figcaption>Lexi Thompson-Imagn Images.</figcaption></figure><p>The Orioles learned firsthand that progression in the big leagues isn’t linear. After being a playoff team over the past two seasons and a winning ballclub for the past three, they came crashing back down to earth, what with some of their talented prospects failing to make a mark as they transition to the big leagues.</p><p>Make no mistake about it, however, the Orioles are still set up to compete for the foreseeable future. An upgrade or two to their pitching corps, not to mention a consolidation trade or two to acquire another legitimate position player superstar, could take Baltimore to the next level.</p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>
