Player Outlook
There was perhaps no more obvious change of scenery candidate last offseason than Tyler O'Neill, and he got to wipe the slate clean when the Cardinals traded him to the Red Sox in December. The hulking outfielder went on to slug 31 home runs, with much of that damage coming against left-handed pitching (he slashed .313/.430/.750 versus southpaws). Among players with at least 450 plate appearances, only Zack Gelof had a worse strikeout rate than O'Neill's 33.6 percent mark. However, he did his best to counterbalance that with a career-high 11.6 percent walk rate. O'Neill made three different trips to the injured list and will remain a good bet to miss time again in 2025, but he was able to avoid any long-term absences in 2024. The Orioles signed O'Neill to a three-year, $49.5 million deal just weeks after announcing they were moving in their left field fences. Baltimore has the depth to give O'Neill strategic off days against tough righties, but he should hit pretty regularly in the middle of a strong lineup.

  • Orioles' Tyler O'Neill: Back in action Sunday

    Rotowire
    O'Neill (rib cage) is starting in left field and batting cleanup in Sunday's split-squad game against the Twins. O'Neill sat out the past couple days of Grapefruit League action due to left rib cage soreness, which came on the heels of an absence due to illness. The 29-year-old is still on track to be ready for Opening Day, but it's worth remembering that his 113 contests last season represented just the second time in his big-league career that the oft-injured outfielder has reached triple digits in games played.

  • Orioles' Tyler O'Neill: Hoping to return Sunday

    Rotowire
    O'Neill (rib cage) will go through a full workout Saturday and hopes to return to exhibition play Sunday, Roch Kubatko of MASNSports.com reports. O'Neill appears to be trending in a positive direction with his injury, which is something he says he would have played through if it were the regular season. Barring any setbacks, O'Neill should be just fine for Opening Day, though this rib cage issue should serve as a reminder of the injury baggage he carries with him at 29 years old.

  • Orioles' Tyler O'Neill: Scratched Thursday

    Rotowire
    O'Neill was scratched from the lineup ahead of Thursday's Grapefruit League game versus Pittsburgh due to left rib cage soreness. O'Neill also missed a few days earlier this week due to an illness. The Orioles are saying his removal from Thursday's lineup was precautionary, per Andy Kostka of TheBaltimoreBanner.com, so O'Neill should be able to return to game action within a few days. In the meantime, Colton Cowser will cover left field and bat fourth.

  • Orioles' Tyler O'Neill: Batting third in return to lineup

    Rotowire
    O'Neill (illness) will start in left field and bat third in Monday's Grapefruit League game against the Red Sox, Jake Rill of MLB.com reports. Manager Brandon Hyde said Saturday that O'Neill had been battling an illness, but the 29-year-old needed just a couple days off to move past the ailment. After signing a three-year deal with Baltimore in December, O'Neill is projected to serve as an everyday player while occupying a prominent spot in the lineup versus both right- and left-handed pitching.

  • Orioles' Tyler O'Neill: Set to play Monday

    Rotowire
    O'Neill (illness) rejoined the Orioles in camp Sunday and is expected to play in Monday's spring game against the Red Sox, Jake Rill of MLB.com reports. O'Neill briefly stepped away from the team due to an illness but won't end up missing much time. The 29-year-old inked a three-year, $49.5 million contract with Baltimore in December and will be a key outfield piece after clubbing 31 homers for Boston last year.

  • Orioles' Tyler O'Neill: Battling illness

    Rotowire
    Manager Brandon Hyde said Saturday that O'Neill is dealing with an illness, Matt Weyrich of The Baltimore Sun reports. O'Neill isn't expected to miss more than a day or two before returning. While he rests, Dylan Beavers will draw a start in left field Saturday against the Pirates.

  • Orioles' Tyler O'Neill: Latches on with O's

    Rotowire
    O'Neill signed a three-year, $49.5 million contract with the Orioles on Saturday, Jon Heyman of the New York Post reports. O'Neill enjoyed a resurgent campaign after moving to Boston in 2024, slashing .241/.336/.511 with 31 home runs and 61 RBI across 473 regular-season plate appearances. Much of the 29-year-old's success came versus southpaws, against whom he posted a 1.179 OPS in 156 trips to the plate. Now in Baltimore, O'Neill could slot in primarily at DH given his limited range and injury history while occasionally taking over in the corner outfield for Colton Cowser or Heston Kjerstad against left-handed starters.

  • Red Sox's Tyler O'Neill: Sitting for regular-season finale

    Rotowire
    O'Neill is out of the Red Sox's lineup Sunday against the Rays, Christopher Smith of MassLive.com reports. The Red Sox will start Jarren Duran, Ceddanne Rafaela and Wilyer Abreu in the outfield for the regular-season finale. O'Neill battled multiple injuries this season, and unless he pinch hits Sunday, he'll end his first year in Boston with a slash line of .241/.336/.511, 31 home runs and 61 RBI across 473 plate appearances.

  • Red Sox's Tyler O'Neill: Out of Boston's lineup

    Rotowire
    O'Neill is not in the lineup for Friday's game against the Rays, Chris Cotillo of MassLive.com reports. O'Neill has been in and out of the lineup lately, making just two starts over the last six contests. He missed the first two of those tilts with a back injury, although it's not clear whether the back is a factor in his two other absences. Jarren Duran is in left field for the Red Sox on Friday.

  • Red Sox's Tyler O'Neill: Not in Tuesday's lineup

    Rotowire
    O'Neill is absent from the lineup in Tuesday's game versus the Blue Jays, Jen McCaffrey of The Athletic reports. O'Neill returned to the lineup Monday at designated hitter after missing both ends of Sunday's doubleheader with a back issue. It's not clear whether it's his back that's keeping him out of Tuesday's lineup. Jarren Duran and Wilyer Abreu will be in the corner outfield spots for the Red Sox.

  • Red Sox's Tyler O'Neill: Nursing back tightness

    Rotowire
    Red Sox manager Alex Cora said prior to Sunday's doubleheader with the Twins that O'Neill is dealing with some minor back tightness, Mac Cerullo of the Boston Herald reports. O'Neill is not in the lineup for the first game of the twin bill, though Cora didn't rule him out for the nightcap. Consider O'Neill day-to-day for the time being.

  • Red Sox's Tyler O'Neill: Sitting out first game

    Rotowire
    O'Neill is not in the lineup for the first game of Sunday's doubleheader against the Twins, Mac Cerullo of the Boston Herald reports. O'Neill will surely be back in the lineup for the nightcap, but he will begin the first game of the twin bill on the bench. Jarren Duran is in left field and Ceddanne Rafaela is in center for the first contest.

  • Red Sox's Tyler O'Neill: Resting Saturday

    Rotowire
    O'Neill is out of the lineup for Saturday's game against Minnesota, Jen McCaffrey of The Athletic reports. O'Neill had made 17 straight starts, likely making Saturday's absence from the starting nine nothing more than an off day. O'Neill is hitless in his last 15 at-bats, but he had homered six times in nine games before the slump. Jarren Duran, Ceddanne Rafaela and Wilyer Abreu fill the outfield from left to right.

  • Red Sox's Tyler O'Neill: Clobbers 31st homer

    Rotowire
    O'Neill went 1-for-4 with a two-run home run Sunday against the Yankees. O'Neill's two-run blast was the culmination of a nine-pitch at-bat and represented the only runs the Red Sox would muster on the day. The homer was O'Neill's 31st of the season, the second time he's reached the 30-homer threshold in his career and leaving him just three shy of matching his career high that was set in 2021.

  • Red Sox's Tyler O'Neill: Launches walk-off homer

    Rotowire
    O'Neill went 1-for-4 with a three-run home run, an additional RBI and a walk in a 5-3 extra-inning win against Baltimore on Wednesday. O'Neill was hitless until the 10th frame, when he belted a three-run blast off Keegan Akin to give the Red Sox a walk-off win. The long ball was the veteran outfielder's fifth in his past five games, and he's also collected nine RBI during that span. The hot stretch has elevated O'Neill's homer total to 30 on the season -- the second time in his career he's reached that threshold.

  • Red Sox's Tyler O'Neill: Another multi-homer game

    Rotowire
    O'Neill went 3-for-5 with two solo home runs and an RBI groundout during Monday's 12-3 win over the Orioles. O'Neill notched his second two-homer game in three days and his seventh multi-homer performance of 2024. The 29-year-old tagged Cade Povich and Cole Irvin for solo homers in the third and eighth innings, respectively, bringing his home run total to 29. He's now five long balls away from tying his career high, which was set back in 2021. O'Neill has a .894 OPS this year.

  • Red Sox's Tyler O'Neill: Out of Sunday's lineup

    Rotowire
    O'Neill is not in the lineup for Sunday's game against the Tigers, Christopher Smith of MassLive.com reports. O'Neill started the past seven contests after missing a couple games due to finger inflammation, but his absence from Sunday's series finale is maintenance-related, per Pete Abraham of The Boston Globe. Rob Refsnyder will start in left field and bat third against Detroit opener Beau Brieske.

  • Red Sox's Tyler O'Neill: Provides lone offense

    Rotowire
    O'Neill went 1-for-3 with a walk and a solo home run in Saturday's 2-1 loss to the Tigers. O'Neill touched Tarik Skubal for a first-inning home run, but that was all the Red Sox could muster off Detroit's ace. It was the third home run in seven games for O'Neill, who has 25 over 92 contests this season.

  • Red Sox's Tyler O'Neill: Goes deep in victory

    Rotowire
    O'Neill went 1-for-4 with a two-run home run in a 3-0 win over Toronto on Wednesday. The Red Sox led by the narrowest of margins at 1-0 before O'Neill provided some insurance with his two-run blast in the eighth inning. It was the outfielder's second homer over his past four contests, which followed a 10-game stretch sandwiched around a stint on the injured list during which he didn't leave the park and notched just one extra-base hit. O'Neill began the campaign looking like an MVP candidate but has had his season slowed considerably by injuries and a decline in performance. He's nonetheless been productive when healthy, recording a .258/.345/.524 slash line with 24 home runs, 49 RBI, 62 runs and three stolen bases through 90 games.

  • Red Sox's Tyler O'Neill: Homers in return

    Rotowire
    O'Neill went 1-for-4 with a solo home run in Sunday's 7-5 loss to Arizona. O'Neill returned to duty after missing the last two games with inflammation in a finger. He struck out in his first three plate appearances before leading off the ninth with an opposite field shot that curled just inside the Pesky Pole in right field. The homer, which traveled all of 319 feet, was O'Neill's 23rd and first since coming off the injured list Aug. 17.
