The Baltimore Orioles have placed outfielder
Tyler O'Neill (neck) on the 10-day IL retroactive to Apr 24 with neck soreness. O's manager, Brandon Hyde, stated that he's "hopeful" it's a minimum stay for the veteran. O'Neill has been battling his neck issue for a few weeks now, and he'll finally have time to get it sorted. The power-hitting right-hander has had trouble staying healthy over the years, and 2025 has been no different. Baltimore recalled outfielder
Dylan Carlson in a corresponding move. Before his trip to the IL, the 29-year-old had been scuffling at the plate, batting .118 over his last 51 at-bats (six hits). It's possible his neck ailment is at least partially to blame.

Baltimore Orioles manager Brandon Hyde said that outfielder
Tyler O'Neill (neck) is out of Thursday's starting lineup against the hosting Washington Nationals with the same neck soreness that he dealt with last week. Hyde is hoping that O'Neill will be available off the bench on Thursday.
Ramon Laureano is drawing the start in right field and is hitting seventh against Nationals left-hander
MacKenzie Gore, who he has hit .833 against with three RBI in six career at-bats. The 29-year-old O'Neill missed two games last week with the neck injury, and it could turn into an injured-list situation if it doesn't clear up by the weekend. For now, though, fantasy managers should consider the Canadian outfielder to be day-to-day. O'Neill has gotten off to a poor start in his first year in Baltimore, hitting .215 (14-for-65) with two homers, 10 RBI and 21 K's in 74 trips to the plate. He's gone 1-for-20 with 11 K's in his last five games.

Baltimore Orioles outfielder
Tyler O'Neill (neck) remains out of the starting nine on Thursday against the Cleveland Guardians. O'Neill was held out of the starting lineup on Wednesday due to neck discomfort. Fantasy managers should continue to keep an eye on his status leading up to their contest against the Pittsburgh Pirates on Friday evening. With O'Neill sitting out,
Ryan O'Hearn will cover right field and bat in the four-hole. During his first 15 games in Baltimore, O'Neill has enjoyed an impressive start, holding a .265/.339/.490 slash line with three doubles and two round-trippers. Under the hood, he has generated a strong .370 xwOBA with an elite 18.4 percent barrel rate. O'Hearn is worth a look in DFS facing right-hander
Tanner Bibee, who enters Thursday with a 4.40 ERA.

Baltimore Orioles outfielder
Tyler O'Neill (neck) has been scratched from Wednesday's starting lineup against the visiting Cleveland Guardians due to neck discomfort, according to The Baltimore Banner's Andy Kostka.
Ramon Laureano will replace O'Neill in left field and hit ninth in the batting order against Guardians right-hander
Gavin Williams. O'Neill, who has missed his fair share of time due to injuries in his career, should be considered day-to-day for now, but don't be surprised if he misses additional time. The O's wrap up their series against Cleveland on Thursday before starting a new weekend series on Friday against the visiting Cincinnati Reds. Laureano should be considered a long shot to return much DFS value in the nine-hole. He's gone 1-for-13 so far this year and has gone hitless in three career at-bats against Williams.
