Baltimore Orioles catcher Samuel Basallo returns from a shoulder injury after being activated from the injured list ahead of Wednesday night’s game against the New York Yankees. Both outlets report that Basallo has not played since July 19 due to the shoulder issue.
The Orioles made the move as they prepare for the series against New York. Yahoo Sports notes the team was on a seven-game winning streak when Basallo last played on July 19, but the club’s performance since then has been more mixed, sitting at 12-14 following that span. The reports focus on Basallo’s return and the timing relative to Baltimore’s recent stretch, without adding differing details about the injury’s severity or the player’s role in the lineup.
