Bryan Baker Injury News & Updates
Oct 7, 2023
Listed on ALDS roster
Baker is on the Orioles' roster for the ALDS, Evan Grant of The Dallas Morning News reports.
ANALYSIS
Baker put up a 3.60 ERA and 1.27 WHIP through 45 innings with Baltimore in the regular season, though he's only pitched in one big-league game since Aug. 1. Baker's lack of recent major-league action indicates he was likely added to the roster as bullpen depth, and he doesn't project to appear in high-leverage situations.
Sep 16, 2023
Sent back to minors
Baker was optioned to Triple-A Norfolk on Saturday.
ANALYSIS
Baker was recalled on Thursday and threw three innings of relief Friday against the Rays, giving up one run on two hits. Michael Baumann was recalled to take his place in the bullpen.
Sep 14, 2023
Recalled from Triple-A
The Orioles recalled Baker from Triple-A Norfolk on Thursday.
ANALYSIS
Baker has posted a 5.40 ERA and 1.46 WHIP through 11.2 innings in the minors since being optioned down Aug. 2. However, he will return to Baltimore in order to replace Nick Vespi, who was optioned to Norfolk on Thursday. Baker projects to serve in middle relief while with the Orioles.
Aug 2, 2023
Optioned to Norfolk
Baltimore optioned Baker to Triple-A Norfolk on Wednesday.
ANALYSIS
This move frees up a 26-man roster spot for starter Jack Flaherty, who was acquired from the Cardinals just before Tuesday's trade deadline. Baker has posted a steady 3.64 ERA and 51:24 K:BB through 42 innings of relief this season with the Orioles and should return to their bullpen mix at some point down the stretch.
Jul 25, 2023
Snags win Monday
Baker (4-3) allowed a hit but was not charged with a run over one-third of an inning, earning the win Monday over the Phillies.
ANALYSIS
Baker got the last out of the eighth inning, but only after allowing an inherited runner to score. The Orioles retook the lead in the ninth, and Cionel Perez locked down the save to give Baker his first win since May 12. Baker is at a 3.79 ERA, 1.31 WHIP and 48:23 K:BB while adding 11 holds over 40.1 innings this season.
Jul 18, 2023
Dealt loss Monday
Baker (3-3) allowed two runs on a hit and a walk in one inning, taking the loss Monday versus the Dodgers.
ANALYSIS
Baker surrendered a grand slam to Chris Taylor after Grayson Rodriguez got into trouble the third time through the order. Prior to Monday, Baker had allowed five runs over his last 13 innings while posting a 15:6 K:BB and two holds in that span. He's at a 3.89 ERA, 1.27 WHIP and 47:22 K:BB with 11 holds and two blown saves over 39.1 innings this season. Baker sees some setup work, but he's unlikely to present any challenge to closer Felix Bautista's ninth-inning gig.
May 24, 2023
Takes loss in 10th inning
Baker (3-2) allowed an unearned run and walked one over two-thirds of an inning, taking the extra-inning loss versus the Yankees on Tuesday.
ANALYSIS
A groundout, an intentional walk and a sacrifice fly combined to produce the winning run for the Yankees in the 10th inning. Baker's two losses this year have come in his last three outings, and he's been scored on in each of those appearances. Despite the recent shaky pitching, he has a 2.78 ERA, 1.24 WHIP and 28:14 K:BB through 22.2 innings this season. He's added nine holds and a blown save while working in a setup role.
May 19, 2023
Handed loss Thursday
Baker (3-1) allowed two runs on a hit and two walks with one strikeout in two-thirds of an inning versus the Angels on Thursday, taking the loss.
ANALYSIS
Adley Rutschman's two-run home run in the seventh inning put the Orioles ahead, but Baker put two runners on in the eighth. Austin Voth and Danny Coulombe each allowed an inherited runner to score, both charged to Baker. Prior to Thursday, Baker had allowed just one run over his last 20 appearances combined. He's now at a 2.57 ERA, 1.24 WHIP and 27:13 K:BB through 21 innings this season. The right-hander's earned high-leverage work with the Orioles down a couple of key arms, but it's unclear if Baker will maintain that role once Mychal Givens (knee) and Dillon Tate (forearm) are back from the injured list.
May 13, 2023
Collects third win
Baker (3-0) didn't allow a baserunner and struck out two over 1.1 scoreless innings to earn the win Friday over the Pirates.
ANALYSIS
Baker entered with two outs in the seventh inning, and Adley Rutschman was able to catch Ji Hwan Bae stealing to end the frame. Baker then submitted a perfect eighth inning. The reliever has quietly emerged as one of the Orioles' most reliable arms, and his 19 appearances are tied for sixth-most in the majors through Friday's action. The right-hander has delivered with a 1.89 ERA, 1.00 WHIP and 24:11 K:BB while adding eight holds and a blown save.
Apr 28, 2023
Records second win
Baker (2-0) walked two and struck out two over 1.2 scoreless and hitless innings to earn the win Thursday over the Tigers.
ANALYSIS
Baker got the last two outs of the sixth inning and also pitched the seventh after the Orioles rallied ahead. Since a three-run meltdown on Opening Day, Baker hasn't been charged with a run in his last 13 innings while adding a 17:5 K:BB in that span. For the season, the righty reliever has a strong 1.98 ERA and 0.73 WHIP with five holds through 14 appearances.
Apr 12, 2023
Clean inning for win
Baker (1-0) struck out one in a perfect inning to earn the win in Tuesday's 12-8 victory over the Athletics.
ANALYSIS
Baker kept the game tied at 7-7 with his fourth straight clean outing, and the Orioles' offense rallied for four runs in the bottom of the seventh inning. This was Baker's first win to go with two holds through six appearances this season. Aside from a three-run blow-up on Opening Day versus the Red Sox, he's been pretty solid, though that outing has him at a 4.26 ERA with a 0.63 WHIP over 6.1 innings. He's added an 8:1 K:BB and should remain in the high-leverage mix as part of the bridge to closer Felix Bautista.
Mar 16, 2023
Remains lock to make team
Baker is a virtual lock to break camp with the Orioles, Roch Kubatko of MASNSports.com reports.
ANALYSIS
Baker was viewed as an option to close earlier in spring training, but with Felix Bautista on track to avoid the injured list, that is now unlikely. The 28-year-old Baker hasn't exactly done himself any favors, allowing eight earned runs on 10 hits and four walks over 4.2 innings through five Grapefruit League appearances. He was an effective middle reliever in 2022 with a 3.49 ERA, 1.23 WHIP and 76:26 K:BB over 69.2 innings, though he could see more setup work this year with Dillon Tate (elbow) out for the first month of the campaign.
Feb 17, 2023
Could be option to close
Baker and Cionel Perez could get chances to close games if Felix Bautista (shoulder, knee) needs to miss time, Orioles manager Brandon Hyde told Nathan Ruiz of The Baltimore Sun on Friday.
ANALYSIS
The O's hope that Bautista will ready in time for Opening Day as he eases into things this spring following last year's shoulder and knee injuries. If he's not, though, it sounds like Baker and Perez would get ninth-inning looks. Baker picked up one save for Baltimore in 2022 while posting a 3.49 ERA and 76:26 K:BB over 69.2 frames.
Oct 6, 2022
Notches first career save
Baker struck out two without allowing a baserunner to earn the save in the first game of Wednesday's doubleheader against the Blue Jays.
ANALYSIS
Baker was called upon to protect a one-run lead and he had little trouble doing so to record the first save of his career. He concluded the 2022 season with 11 scoreless appearances, during which he maintained a 13:3 K:BB across 12.1 frames. It was Baker's first full season in the majors, and he was a solid contributor out of Baltimore's bullpen by posting a 3.49 ERA while also tallying nine holds.
Sep 18, 2022
Works around two hits
Baker struck out one in a scoreless inning during Saturday's 6-3 loss to the Blue Jays.
ANALYSIS
Baker erased a Vladimir Guerrero single when Bo Bichette grounded into a double play. Matt Chapman then singled before Baker struck out Teoscar Hernandez to end the seventh inning. Baker's allowed three hits and a walk over 3.2 innings without allowing a run in his last four appearances. The right-hander now owns a 3.98 ERA, 1.34 WHIP and 67:24 K:BB through 61 innings while adding a 4-3 record, eight holds and two blown saves. He'll likely finish 2022 in a mid-leverage role.
Aug 16, 2022
Snags win Monday
Baker (4-3) earned the win Monday, striking out two over 1.1 scoreless innings.
ANALYSIS
Starter Kyle Bradish fell an out short of qualifying for the win, allowing Baker to pick up his first decision since July 4. Since the start of July, he's posted a solid 2.81 ERA with a 1.31 WHIP and 24:8 K:BB across 16 innings. He's kept opponents off the board in 15 of 18 appearances in that span. For the season, Baker owns a 4.10 ERA, 1.34 WHIP and 53:20 K:BB with five holds and two blown saves in 48.1 innings. With Felix Bautista holding the closer role and Dillon Tate and Cionel Perez operating as setup men, Baker's middle-relief role hasn't changed much since Jorge Lopez was sent to the Twins at the trade deadline.
Jul 26, 2022
Extends scoreless streak
Baker allowed two hits in a scoreless inning during Monday's 5-1 win over the Rays.
ANALYSIS
Baker is enjoying his best month of the season -- he owns a 0.90 ERA and 1.30 WHIP through 10 innings in July, and he hasn't allowed a run in his last six appearances. The right-hander has racked up a 17:3 K:BB in that span. With the strength of the Orioles' bullpen, he hasn't been able to earn a larger role with this stretch of success. For the year, he has a 3-3 record, four holds and a blown save while recording a 3.83 ERA, 1.35 WHIP and 46:15 K:BB in 42.1 innings.
Jul 5, 2022
Snags win Monday
Baker (3-3) walked one and struck out two in a scoreless inning to earn the extra-inning win over the Rangers on Monday.
ANALYSIS
Baker issued a one-out walk but ultimately had no trouble keeping the score tied at 6-6 in the top of the 10th inning. He ended up with the win when the Orioles walked it off in the bottom of the frame. This was a fourth straight scoreless outing for Baker, his longest streak of the year, and he's covered six innings in that span. The 27-year-old right-hander has a 4.59 ERA, 1.35 WHIP and 31:13 K:BB through 33.1 innings overall while adding three holds and a blown save.
Jun 25, 2022
Grabs second hold
Baker struck out one in 1.1 perfect innings to earn a hold in Friday's 4-1 win over the White Sox.
ANALYSIS
Baker has yet to post more than three consecutive scoreless outings this season. The mixed results have continued in June, where he's posted a 4.50 ERA and 1.25 WHIP across eight innings. For the season, the right-hander has a 5.34 ERA, 1.47 WHIP, 27:11 K:BB, 2-3 record, two holds and a blown save threw 28.2 innings. He'll likely remain in mostly low-leverage assignments, especially since few other Orioles relievers have struggled in 2022.
Jun 8, 2022
Snares win Tuesday
Baker (2-3) allowed a run on a hit and a walk in 1.1 innings, earning the win Tuesday over the Cubs.
ANALYSIS
Starter Kyle Bradish came up one out short of the win in an inefficient outing, allowing Baker to snare a win in relief. The 27-year-old right-hander has been a bit shaky with 10 runs (eight earned) allowed in his last 11 innings. For the season, Baker has a 5.40 ERA, 1.50 WHIP and 23:8 K:BB through 23.1 innings while adding a blown save and a hold. With lackluster ratios and very little high-leverage usage, he's not much of a factor in standard fantasy formats.
May 31, 2022
Takes loss Tuesday
Baker (1-3) was charged with the loss Tuesday after he pitched 1.1 innings, surrendering three runs on two hits and a walk while striking out a batter against the Mariners.
ANALYSIS
Baker was tasked with starting Tuesday's contest in what was a bullpen game, giving up an RBI double in the first inning and two more runs in the second while only recording one out. The three runs surrendered were a season high for the reliever and he has now allowed at least one run in four of his last five appearances. Since May 20, Baker has given up six runs on 10 hits and three walks over 6.2 frames. He'll return to his regular role as a bullpen option following the loss Tuesday.
May 31, 2022
Starting in bullpen game
Baker will be the Orioles' starting pitcher for Tuesday's contest versus the Mariners in what's expected to be a bullpen game, Roch Kubatko of MASNSports.com reports.
ANALYSIS
Baker will draw his second start of the season, but he's unlikely to pitch more than once through the order before being pulled from the contest. In his last start May 12 in St. Louis, the right-hander pitched 2.1 scoreless frames, allowing one hit while striking out three. On the season, Baker owns a 4.66 ERA and 1.50 WHIP with 21 punchouts over 19.1 innings.
May 25, 2022
Handed loss Tuesday
Baker (1-2) took the loss Tuesday versus the Yankees. He allowed two runs (one earned) on three hits while recording only one out.
ANALYSIS
Baker couldn't protect a one-run lead as the Yankees' offense got RBI singles from Isiah Kiner-Falefa and Jose Trevino to walk it off. It's been a rough May for Baker, who has allowed seven runs (five earned) in nine innings. The right-hander has a 5.00 ERA, 1.44 WHIP and 20:5 K:BB while adding a hold and a blown save in 17 appearances spanning 18 innings this season.
May 12, 2022
Starts bullpen game
Baker struck out three in 2.1 innings, allowing one hit in a 3-2 win Thursday in St. Louis. He did not factor into the decision.
ANALYSIS
Baker got the nod to start in a bullpen game and retired the first seven batters he faced before allowing a single and being removed in the third. It was his longest outing at any level since 2017 when he played for Single-A Asheville. While the 27-year-old's 4.38 ERA is nothing to write home about, his 14:2 K:BB ratio and one homer allowed in 12.1 innings are promising. He'll likely continue as a middle reliever for the near future.
May 12, 2022
Starting in bullpen game
Baker will start Thursday's game in St. Louis in what's expected to a bullpen day for the Orioles, Rich Dubroff of BaltimoreBaseball.com reports.
ANALYSIS
Baker hasn't recorded more than five outs in any of his 11 appearances out of the Baltimore bullpen this season, so he's unlikely to pitch more than two innings before checking out of the contest. The Orioles don't have an obvious primary pitcher to work behind Baker, but converted starter Keegan Akin could offer a decent amount of length while he's available in the bullpen on three days' rest.
May 3, 2022
Stuck with loss
Baker (1-1) allowed a run on two hits in one-third of an inning, taking the loss Monday versus the Twins.
ANALYSIS
Baker was responsible for a pair of singles in the sixth inning, the latter being Carlos Correa's go-ahead knock. The Orioles' offense wasn't able to get Baker off the hook. The right-hander started the season well, but he's given up five runs in his last 4.1 innings. The reliever has a 5.79 ERA, 1.29 WHIP and 11:1 K:BB across 9.1 innings overall.
Apr 24, 2022
Picks up win Saturday
Baker (1-0) allowed two runs on two hits and struck out one in one inning, earning the win Saturday over the Angels.
ANALYSIS
Baker worked the sixth inning, allowing a two-run home run to Brandon Marsh. The Orioles quickly got the right-hander off the hook, putting up three runs in the seventh to put him in line for the win. This was the first time in six outings that Baker's allowed multiple runs. He owns a 4.50 ERA, 1.17 WHIP and 8:1 K:BB with a hold in six innings this season. The 27-year-old looks like he'll continue in a middle-relief role.
Apr 16, 2022
Performing well early on
Baker has allowed just one run over 4.2 innings this season.
ANALYSIS
Baker pitched in the ninth and 10th innings of Friday's 2-1 extra-innings win over the Yankees. He's also dialed up six strikeouts and just one walk across his four appearances this season. While the Orioles are unlikely to generate many save chances for their relievers this season, Baker's pitched well and could see more high-leverage work if he can sustain this early success.
Apr 6, 2022
Makes Opening Day roster
Baker will be on the Orioles' Opening Day roster, Rich Dubroff of BaltimoreBaseball.com reports.
ANALYSIS
Baker allowed just one run on one hit and one walk with four strikeouts over four innings in spring training. The 27-year-old made his major-league debut with the Blue Jays last season before being claimed by the Orioles on waivers in November. His strong spring will allow him to start the season in a low-leverage role out of the bullpen, though the Orioles' lack of relief depth could see him move up the pecking order if he pitches well.
Nov 8, 2021
Claimed by Orioles
Baker was claimed off waivers by the Orioles on Monday, Robert Murray of FanSided.com reports.
ANALYSIS
Baker tossed a single major-league inning this season, the first of his career. The 26-year-old spent the bulk of the year at Triple-A Buffalo, where he cruised to a 1.31 ERA in 41.1 innings of relief.
Sep 8, 2021
Returns to Buffalo
The Blue Jays optioned Baker to Triple-A Buffalo on Wednesday.
ANALYSIS
Baker joined Toronto when the roster expanded from 26 to 28 men Sept. 1, but he'll head back to the minors less than a week later after the Blue Jays needed to open up a spot for reliever Julian Merryweather (oblique), who was reinstated from the 60-day injured list. During his first stint in the big leagues, Baker made one appearance out of the bullpen, striking out a batter in a scoreless inning.
Sep 1, 2021
Moving to majors
Baker will have his contract selected from Triple-A Buffalo when rosters expand Wednesday, Ken Rosenthal of The Athletic reports.
ANALYSIS
Baker has been lights out for Buffalo this season with a 1.36 ERA, 1.00 WHIP and 40:16 K:BB across 33 innings, and he'll now receive his first opportunity in the majors. The right-hander figures to fill a low-leverage role out of the bullpen in his first taste of the big leagues.
May 26, 2021
Excelling in Triple-A bullpen
Baker (elbow) has tossed 8.2 scoreless innings across seven appearances for Triple-A Buffalo this season, notching two saves while striking out 13.
ANALYSIS
Baker missed a good chunk of spring training due to a Grade 1 right elbow strain, but he was cleared for game action ahead of the Triple-A season, which began earlier this month. The 26-year-old has looked good thus far in the closing role for Buffalo, converting both of his save opportunities and holding opposing hitters to a .133 average. If he continues to thrive in the late innings for Buffalo, he should earn his first MLB call-up later in 2021.
Mar 9, 2021
Could resume throwing soon
Baker (elbow) will be examined by a doctor Tuesday and could be cleared to resume throwing soon, Scott Mitchell of TSN.ca reports.
ANALYSIS
Baker is dealing with a Grade 1 right elbow sprain which reportedly involves some ligament damage, but the Blue Jays still seem hopeful that he can get back on a mound soon. He's yet to make his big-league debut and isn't on the 40-man roster, however, so he isn't expected to break camp with the team even if fully healthy.
Mar 4, 2021
Out with elbow sprain
The Blue Jays announced Thursday that Baker is dealing with a Grade 1 right elbow sprain, Mike Wilner of the Toronto Star reports.
ANALYSIS
Baker's injury reportedly includes some ligament damage, but the Blue Jays are confident the right-hander is only dealing with a minor setback. That said, Baker will likely be shut down from throwing for at least a few days before the Blue Jays reassess his condition.
