Orioles Listening To Offers On All-Star Closer, According To MLB Insider
Based on facts, either observed and verified firsthand by the reporter, or reported and verified from knowledgeable sources. Newsweek AI is in beta. Translations may contain inaccuracies—please refer to the original content. The Baltimore Orioles have all but officially failed in their quest to make three straight postseason appearances since they did so in 1969-71. With the trade deadline approaching, the Orioles are listening to offers on their All-Star closer, Félix Bautista, according to Ken Rosenthal of The Athletic. BALTIMORE, MD - JUNE 29: Félix Bautista #74 of the Baltimore Orioles pitches during a baseball game against the Tampa Bay Rays at Oriole Park at Camden Yards on June 29, 2025 in Baltimore, Maryland.

Photo byBautista was an All-Star in 2023 and missed all of last season due to injury, but has returned to the mound with a purpose. The closer has 18 saves for the Orioles and enters the second half with a 2.41 ERA. Bautista is under team control until 2028 and has been the anchor of the Baltimore bullpen this season. If the Orioles are going to move him, they should receive a haul in return for the former American League Reliever of the Year. With the Orioles having their eyes set on returning to contention next season while their young core is still intact, moving Bautista could be the smart play. Relievers are consistently the most volatile position group in Major League Baseball, and many competing teams will be looking for an arm to add at the July 31 deadline. Rosenthal also wrote that the likelihood of trading Bautista is slim, as the Orioles have many players on expiring contracts that will be their focus as the trade season commences. While the Orioles are taking calls on the reliever, they are placing a higher priority on making a deal for All-Star Ryan O'Hearn before any moves, including multi-year controlled players. If the Orioles move Bautista, the team receiving his services will be acquiring a bona fide lockdown closer for the stretch run.

Laureano Drives in Go-Ahead Run in 3-Run 10th Inning as Orioles Blast 3 Homers and Beat Braves 9-6
Ramón Laureano's double in the 10th inning gave Baltimore the lead, and the Orioles hit three home runs in a 9–6 win over the Atlanta Braves on Saturday. Laureano's double down the third-base line off Rafael Montero (0–1) drove in Jordan Westburg from third base. Jacob Stallings added a two-run double in the inning. Félix Bautista (1–1) pitched a scoreless ninth for Baltimore, which has won the first two games of the three-game series. Yennier Cano got the last three outs for his first save. Braves left-hander Aaron Bummer recorded strikeouts on his first five outs before fading quickly in the third. Tyler O'Neill homered to lead off the inning. Bummer walked Cedric Mullins on four pitches and one out later gave up Westburg's two-run homer. Colton Cowser also had a two-run homer for Baltimore in the fourth. Bummer served as the opener in his first start of 374 career games in nine seasons. The Braves needed a bullpen game after right-hander Spencer Schwellenbach landed on the 15-day injured list on Wednesday with a fractured right elbow. Atlanta's rotation already was missing Chris Sale (broken rib), AJ Smith-Shawver (Tommy John surgery), and Reynaldo López (shoulder surgery). Matt Olson drove in two runs with three hits, including a homer, for Atlanta. Austin Riley drove in three runs with two hits, including a two-run homer in the first off Dean Kremer. Key moment: Orioles catcher Gary Sánchez left the game with right knee pain in the fifth inning. The Orioles have three catchers on the IL: Adley Rutschman (left oblique strain), Maverick Handley (concussion), and Chadwick Tromp (lower back strain). Stallings replaced Sánchez. Key stat: The Braves fell to 28–5 when scoring five or more runs. Up next: In a rare 11:35 a.m. ET start for Roku TV, Braves RHP Grant Holmes (4–7, 3.47 ERA) will face Orioles LHP Trevor Rogers (1–0, 2.05) on Sunday.

(AP Photo/Terrance Williams) NEW YORK (AP) — Baltimore Orioles catcher Adley Rutschman was placed on the injured list Saturday for the first time in his career because of a strained left oblique. The 27-year-old Rutschman had an MRI on Saturday morning and the Orioles announced the move about 15 minutes before their game against the Yankees. Advertisement 'He's been super durable, especially for a catcher,' Baltimore interim manager Tony Mansolino said. 'Unfortunately, if he does, if this is a thing, he's going to go, but hopefully it's not too long.' Rutschman was in Baltimore's original lineup Friday as the designated hitter before feeling pain during batting practice and being scratched. The Orioles recalled Maverick Handley, who will serve as the backup to Gary Sánchez until Rutschman returns. Rutschman is hitting .227 with eight homers and 20 RBIs in 68 games this season. The top overall pick in the 2019 amateur draft is hitting .309 (17 for 55) in his last 15 games after hitting .182 (16 for 88) in his previous 25. Advertisement Rutschman has been among the more durable catchers in the majors. After playing 113 games following his debut in May 2022, he appeared in 154 games in 2023 and 148 last season. Handley is 3 for 40 in 15 games with the Orioles this season. In 17 games with Triple-A Norfolk, Handley is hitting .322 with one home run and 5 RBIs. ___ More AP baseball:

Mullins and Sánchez hit back-to-back home runs to key Orioles' 6-5 victory over Angels
Cedric Mullins and Gary Sánchez hit back-to-back home runs to give Baltimore the lead and Félix Bautista finished off the Orioles' 6-5 victory over the Los Angeles Angels on Saturday with his second straight save. Mullins hit his 11th home run, a two-run shot off Angels starter Tyler Anderson in the sixth, and Sánchez followed with his first homer with the Orioles for a 6-4 lead. Bautista topped 100 mph for the first time since 2023 on a fastball to Mike Trout before Trout flied to right field for the second out in the ninth. Bautista walked Taylor Ward before striking out Logan O'Hoppe on the ninth pitch of the at-bat and his 22nd pitch in the inning. Bautista has 14 saves in 15 opportunities. Trout homered high off the foul pole in left field after Zach Neto drew a leadoff walk from Orioles starter Tomoyuki Sugano to give the Angels a 2-0 lead in the first. It was his 11th home run this season and the 389th of his career. LA's Luis Rengifo hit solo homers from both sides of the plate for the third time in his career after entering with just one on the season. He homered off lefty Keegan Akin to give the Angels a 4-3 lead in the sixth and again off right-hander Andrew Kittredge in the eighth to cut it to 6-5. Gunnar Henderson and Jordan Westburg had RBI singles in the third to give the Orioles a 3-2 lead. Anderson (2-4) allowed six runs on nine hits in five innings. He is 0-4 in 10 starts since beating the Giants on April 18. Sugano gave up three runs on six hits in 4 2/3 innings. Akin (2-0) got four outs, including the final one in the fifth with the bases loaded to keep it tied at 3. Mullins has been involved in three of the Orioles' six back-to-back homers this season. Baltimore rookie Coby Mayo had his first multi-hit game, going 2 for 4 with a double for his first extra-base hit at home. Angels LHP Yusei Kikuchi (2-5, 2.92) will try to prevent a sweep when he starts Sunday's series finale against Orioles LHP Cade Povich (1-5, 5.46). ___ AP MLB:
