Orioles' Ryan O'Hearn: Doubles, plates two in defeat
Rotowire
O'Hearn went 1-for-4 with a double, two RBI and a walk in Tuesday's 7-6 extra-inning loss to the Mets.
It was O'Hearn's first multi-RBI effort since June 11, and he's now logged at least one hit in six of his last eight outings. The All-Star slugger has cooled off significantly following an excellent start to the season, during which he had a .986 OPS as of May 27, but he should remain locked into the strong side of a platoon at first base with Coby Mayo while Ryan Mountcastle (hamstring) is on the shelf. Over his last 124 plate appearances (32 games), O'Hearn is slashing just .208/.306/.321 with two home runs, six doubles, 11 RBI and 14 runs scored.

O'Hearn's 405-foot homer in the second inning proved to be the decisive blow in the Orioles' victory.

Orioles' Ryan O'Hearn: Out of Sunday's lineup
Rotowire
O'Hearn is not in the lineup for Sunday's game against the Athletics.
The absence ends a run of 24 straight starts for O'Hearn, who batted .330 (30-for-91) with four doubles, two homers, two steals, 10 RBI and 11 runs during that stretch.

Still, O'Hearn has been incredibly productive overall in 2025 with nine homers and a .316/.397/.500 slash line through 54 games.
