Orioles beat Blue Jays 6-5; Ward reaches 51 walks
Ward's 53 BB in 58 G (0.353 OBP) reflects elite plate discipline, though his 0.254 AVG and -42 team run differential expose Baltimore's offensive fragility despite the comeback win.

Baltimore Orioles — News
Orioles Activate Kjerstad From 60-Day IL, Option to Triple-A
Kjerstad missed the entire season with a hamstring strain and has no 2026 stats to evaluate readiness. Baltimore (26-30, -41 run differential) fills its 40-man roster vacancy but keeps him at Triple-A rather than activating for immediate roster help.
Orioles Select Cameron Weston, Option Trey Gibson
Weston enters a Baltimore rotation where Rogers (6.96 ERA, 27 SO in 6 starts) has been a liability, though the move fills 40-man spots vacated by recent departures rather than addressing immediate depth needs for a 26-30 team.
Blue Jays To Select Charles McAdoo
McAdoo's addition addresses depth as Toronto sits 26-29 with a -5 run differential heading into Baltimore. The move requires roster space ahead of tomorrow's series where Cease (3.05 ERA, 92 SO) faces a Orioles rotation without their ace—Baz (4.48 ERA) and Bradish (3.86 ERA) have combined for just 4 wins.
Orioles Recall Raquet, Designate Enns For Assignment
Raquet arrives with a 0.40 ERA in limited action while Enns (3.94 ERA) departs. Baltimore's rotation remains anchored by Bradish (3.86 ERA, 2-6) as the club sits 24-30 with a -55 run differential.
Boston Red Sox — News
Red Sox continue home struggles with another loss
Boston's 9-20 home record now includes consecutive defeats; Suarez (3.38 ERA) is the only dependable starter while Bello (5.63 ERA, 0.376 xwOBA) and Gray provide minimal stability in a 25-34 team facing bottom-five divisional position.
Garrett Crochet Diagnosed With Low-Grade Lat Strain
Boston's ace (11.10 K/9, 37 SO in 30 IP) is sidelined with a lat injury after last year's Cy Young runner-up finish, forcing the Red Sox rotation to lean on Suarez (3.38 ERA, 0.301 xwOBA) and Gray (3.06 ERA, 2-1) as their only reliable starters. The 25-33 Red Sox already rank last in AL East run differential at -5, and losing Crochet's strikeout rate compounds depth issues behind an increasingly thin pitching staff.
Garrett Crochet halts throwing progression due to lat soreness
Boston's ace is undergoing imaging after lat area inflammation sidelined his rehab work; the Red Sox rotation is already anchored by underperformers (Bello 5.63 ERA, Gray 3.06 ERA) and Crochet's 11.10 K/9 availability becomes critical for a 24-33 team sitting -10 in run differential.
Tommy Kahnle faces June 1 opt-out; Red Sox roster decision looming
Boston (23-33, -18 run diff) must decide whether to promote Kahnle or lose him to free agency. The Red Sox bullpen depth matters little given their 0.411 win percentage and L2 streak, but Kahnle's departure removes one proven reliever from an already thin relief corps.
Sale dominates Red Sox again in Braves win
Sale's 2.02 ERA and 10.75 K/9 over 11 starts anchor Atlanta's rotation (1st NL East, +103 run diff), while Boston's 23-32 record and -17 run differential reflect how far the teams have drifted since the trade.
