Hey, remember Tyler O’Neill? Guy who’s really fond of hitting home runs on Opening Day? The only player Mike Elias has ever given a free agent contract that guarantees multiple years to the player? That Tyler O’Neill? Yeah, it’s understandable if you forgot about him, since he last played a game for the Orioles on May 15, but here on the 4th of July, he is back. The Orioles activated O’Neill from the injured list ahead of the day’s game against the Braves.
The Orioles got the corresponding move out of the way yesterday, optioning outfielder Dylan Carlson back to Triple-A Norfolk.
