Orioles outfielder O’Neill placed on 10-day IL with shoulder injury

Baltimore Orioles outfielder Tyler O’Neill was placed on the 10-day injured list on Wednesday due to a shoulder injury. The move was retroactive to Sunday. O’Neill sustained the injury while diving for a catch against the Rays on Saturday. He informed reporters that he strained his rotator cuff and has been struggling to recover from it.

O’Neill expressed his disappointment, stating, “All I do is try and go out and play a hard game every single day and give it my best effort, and this is unfortunately the result of playing hard sometimes.” He has been batting .212 with 10 home runs and 23 RBIs over 85 games this season. To cover the roster spot, the Orioles contracted infielder Luis Vázquez from Triple-A Norfolk.
