Young allows four earned runs to Phillies in win

Brandon Young

BAL Starting Pitcher #63

Player Stats

Brandon Young allowed four earned runs over 5 2/3 innings while striking out five, picking up the no-decision on Friday against the Phillies.

Young got off to a rough start in this one, allowing Trea Turner to reach off with an infield single, which he followed with a walk to Kyle Schwarber. A single by Bryce Harper would bring in Turner to put the Phillies up 1-0, and an RBI ground out by Brandon Marsh extended that lead to 2-0 before Young was able to get out of the inning. Young made it through the second inning without any issues, but after allowing solo homers to Turner in the fourth inning and J.T. Realmuto in the sixth inning, he found himself on the wrong side of a 4-2 ball game. This was Young’s worst start since July 4th, when he allowed four earned runs over five innings to the Reds, but he has been relatively strong as of late. He’ll look to bounce back in his next start, which is scheduled for Thursday at home against the Angels.

Brandon Young

BAL Starting Pitcher #63

Brandon Young allowed two runs — one earned — in six innings to pick up a win over the Twins on Tuesday.

It’s the ninth win of the season for Young, who has been one of the few bright spots for the Orioles in 2026. The 27-year-old did allow six hits and three walks, but he was able to work around that traffic while lowering his ERA to a healthy 3.33 on the season. Young isn’t an ace, but it’s tough — and foolish — to complain about his production in 2026. He’ll face the Rays on Sunday in Tampa Bay if there’s no change to the rotation order.

Brandon Young didn’t make it out of the fifth while allowing six hits and a three-run homer to Zach Neto against the Angels on Thursday.

Young has a 3.21 ERA over his last 15 starts, but this makes back-to-back duds against the Phillies and Angels. It was a bit unfortunate for him that the sequence worked out to give Neto a three-run homer, but he’s more of a living-on-the-edge 12-team starter than a true must-roster player. A matchup against the Twins next week remains tasty despite the recent downturn.
Brandon Young

BAL Starting Pitcher #63

Brandon Young allowed one run in 6 1/3 innings and got a no-decision in the Orioles’ 3-2 victory over the Braves on Saturday.

Young gave up four hits, walked two and struck out six. The 27-year-old right-hander left the game in the seventh inning with a 2-1 lead, but an Ozzie Albies home run in the eighth inning tied the score. Young lowered his ERA to 3.13 with another exceptional outing, though his 4.40 xFIP is a warning sign that he could be due for regression. He’s lined up to face the Phillies at home next weekend.
Brandon Young

BAL Starting Pitcher #63

Brandon Young allowed one run in seven innings and got the win in the Orioles’ 5-2 victory over the Astros on Sunday.

Young gave up five hits, walked one and struck out seven. He improved to 8-2 with the win. Young was excellent in this start, holding the Astros to one run in seven innings. He has a 3.25 ERA and a 4.50 xFIP. Young is lined up to face the Braves at home next weekend.
Kyle Bradish

BAL Starting Pitcher #38

The Orioles have pushed Kyle Bradish’s start from Sunday to Monday, with Brandon Young now slated to face the Astros.

This means Bradish will pitch in Boston instead of in Houston, which seems like a downgrade right now. It does give Bradish a night to celebrate his $90 million extension, however.
Brandon Young

BAL Starting Pitcher #63

Brandon Young allowed three earned runs over seven innings while striking out five, picking up a no-decision in Friday’s win over the Royals.

Young kept the Royals off the board through the first three innings, striking out three batters over that span. In the top of the fourth inning, Home Run Derby participant Jac Caglianone smashed a 389-foot solo homer to kick off the inning, cutting the Orioles’ lead to 2-1. A few batters later, Young would allow a walk to Michael Massey, who would later come around to score on an RBI double by Josh Rojas to tie the game. Young would get out of the inning and throw three straight scoreless innings before Isaac Collins got the best of him to lead off the eighth, sending a solo homer to deep center to tie the game at 3-3. It’s a disappointing way to pick up a no-decision. Young needed just 85 pitches to get through seven innings and struck out five or more batters for the fifth straight game. The righty enters the All-Star Break with an impressive 7-2 record and a 3.42 ERA.

Brandon Young picked up a win after allowing four runs in five-plus innings Saturday against the Reds.

Young allowed eight hits and walked three, but the Reds didn’t do a great job of making him pay. In the sixth, he was pulled after a walk and a single to start the inning, but Grant Wolfram came in and got a double play and a groundout to protect Young’s 3.38 ERA. Young moved to 7-2. His 62/30 K/BB in 77 1/3 innings isn’t very impressive, but he’s given up just seven homers. Last year, he allowed 12 in 57 2/3 innings, even though he had a better groundball rate than he does now. Young will face the Royals at home to finish off the first half. That’s a kind matchup, but he’s not an every-week option in mixed leagues.
Brandon Young

BAL Starting Pitcher #63

Brandon Young gave up two runs in five innings and got a no-decision against the Nationals on Saturday.

Young gave up seven hits, walked two and struck out eight. He has a 3.11 ERA, but his 4.61 xFIP is a massive red flag. Young has just a 17 percent strikeout percentage in 72 1/3 innings. While he was able to record eight strikeouts on Saturday, he hasn’t been a strikeout pitcher in the broader sample this year. If Young isn’t getting strikeouts, he certainly isn’t worth risking your ratios on. He’s lined up to face the Reds on the road next week.
Brandon Young

BAL Starting Pitcher #63

Brandon Young allowed one run on five hits in five innings in a win over the Dodgers on Sunday.

Young struck out five and walked two, and is now 6-2 on the season. He’s not overwhelming hitters, and posted an 11 percent swinging strike rate on the day, with most of his whiffs coming on his fastball. His four-seamer has solid velocity at 95.1 mph but gets good vertical movement, and he does a nice job of keeping it up in the zone. Against righties, he’ll keep the slider low in the zone and then throw a splitter to lefties. He does have a solid sinker that he can get called strikes with to righties, but he’s all about keeping hitters off the barrel and inducing weak contact. It’s a tough tight rope to walk, but he could be worth the risk in deeper formats next week against the Nationals.

BAL Starting Pitcher #63

Brandon Young allowed three runs with two strikeouts over six innings in a loss against the Mariners on Tuesday.

Young kept the Mariners scoreless through two innings, then gave up a run on two walks and a hit in the third. It was the only run Young allowed through six innings before he allowed the first two runners to reach in the seventh. That would end his day at 92 pitches. Both inherited runners would come in to score, spoiling an otherwise solid day on the mound. The 27-year-old right-hander will take a 3.18 ERA, 1.25 WHIP, and a 44/23 K/BB ratio across 62 1/3 innings into a start against the Dodgers in Los Angeles on Sunday.

Athletics claimed LHP Joe Rock off of waivers from the White Sox; optioned him to Triple-A Las Vegas.

The 26-year-old left-hander was designated for assignment on Friday after posting a 3.48 ERA, 2.13 WHIP and a 12/11 K/BB ratio across 10 1/3 innings in four appearances with the White Sox. He’ll function as extra rotation depth for the A’s at the Triple-A level.

He’ll almost assuredly get another opportunity with the Cubs before season’s end.

Corey Seager is not in the Rangers’ starting lineup for Sunday’s divisional matchup against the Athletics.

The Rangers are being sure to mix in plenty of days off for the 32-year-old slugger and it makes sense to do so with left-hander Jacob Lopez toeing the slab for the A’s on Sunday afternoon. Expect Seager to make an appearance off the bench in this one if the right situation arises. Ezequiel Duran will start at shortstop in his place and bat second for the Rangers.

Butera didn’t term it as a setback necessarily, but he still isn’t ready to progress to more strenuous baseball activities. At this rate, it would be surprising to see him back it back before the end of August.

The Rockies had been hopeful that Goodman would return to the lineup on Saturday but was ultimately scratched due to inflammation in his shoulder. If he isn’t ready to go for Monday’s series opener against the Dodgers, the Rockies may be forced to consider a backdated stint on the injured list.
