Tyler O'Neill Scratched With Rib-Cage Soreness
15 seconds agoBaltimore Orioles outfielder Tyler O'Neill (rib cage) was scratched from Thursday night's Grapefruit League contest against the Pittsburgh Pirates due to left rib-cage soreness. The Orioles are saying he was removed from the lineup as a precaution. It doesn't appear to be anything to really worry about, but O'Neill has missed plenty of game action this week already due to an illness. With the 29-year-old out again on Thursday, Colton Cowser will play left field and bat cleanup. O'Neill hit 31 homers in his one and only season with the Boston Red Sox a year ago, but it also came with a 33.6 percent strikeout rate. However, he also walked at a strong clip of 11.6% percent. Injuries are part of the deal if you have O'Neill rostered, as he was on the injured list three different times in 2024. He does most of his damage against lefties but should be in the lineup regularly in Baltimore in 2025. O'Neill is ranked just inside the top-50 outfielders at RotoBaller.
