Shane Baz strikes out 10 in loss to Yankees

Shane Baz

BAL Starting Pitcher #34

Player Stats

Shane Baz fanned 10 but took a loss after allowing three runs in 6 1/3 innings Tuesday against the Yankees.

Baz allowed one run through six before giving up singles to two of the three batters he faced in the seventh. Josh Walker took over then and allowed both inherited runners to score to get Baz tagged with his 13th loss to the year. That’s the most losses for an Orioles pitcher since Jorge López and Matt Harvey both lost 14 games in 2021. The good news is that Baz’s velocity was back tonight after a surprising dip last time out that he said was a result of mechanical issues. Apart from that start, he’s mostly pitched well of late, and his next outing will come against a familiar Rays lineup that he’s turned in two of his better performances again this year (1-0, 1.38 ERA in 13 IP).

Shane Baz won Wednesday despite allowing five runs in 5 2/3 innings against the Guardians.

Tanner Bibee, the qualified starter with the second worst run support in the league, couldn’t deal with a big early lead against the Orioles on Tuesday and was left with a no-decision. Baz, the qualified starter with the worst run support in the league, also had some issues tonight, but he managed to hang on after being backed by an eight-run third inning. The win makes him 6-15 with a 4.05 ERA. He’ll likely face the Mets on Tuesday.

Shane Baz allowed one run in 6 1/3 innings and took the loss against the Red Sox on Friday.

Baz gave up four hits, walked two and struck out six. He fell to 5-15 with the loss. The only run Baz allowed came on a solo home run by the blazing hot Mickey Gasper. He’s lost six of his last seven starts while only allowing more than three runs in a start once in that span. Baz’ 3.91 ERA indicates he’s pitched better than his 15 losses. He’s lined up to face the Guardians at home next week.

Shane Baz allowed two runs in 5 2/3 innings and got the win in the Orioles’ 5-3 victory over the Athletics on Saturday.

Baz gave up five hits, walked three and struck out four. He improved to 5-14 with the win. Baz had lost his last five starts entering play Saturday, but rebounded with a solid performance as he was one out away from recording a quality start. Baz has a 4.01 ERA. He’s lined up to face the Red Sox at home next week.
Shane Baz

BAL Starting Pitcher #34

Shane Baz took the loss on Sunday against the Rays, allowing three runs on five hits over 5 2/3 innings pitched.

Baz struck out three and walked three in the 96-pitch outing. It was his third time facing his former team this season, but the first two went better than Sunday’s, with 15 strikeouts and two earned runs allowed across 13 frames. Baz appeared headed for another gem against them before three runs came around to score in the top of the sixth, ultimately handing him his league-leading 14th loss. He’ll look to rebound against the A’s in Sacramento next time out.
Shane Baz

BAL Starting Pitcher #34

Shane Baz was pulled after giving up five runs and nine hits in three innings Wednesday against the Twins.

Something was well off with Baz today, as he averaged just 94.0 mph with his fastball. That’s two mph off his season average and one mph under his previous season low from June 7. He indicated after the game that the issue was likely mechanical, rather than anything injury related. Baz had been doing his best work of the season lately, allowing a total of five earned runs in his previous four starts. He’s due to face the Yankees next week.
Shane Baz

BAL Starting Pitcher #34

Shane Baz allowed three hits and two runs with one walk and nine strikeouts in a rare eight-inning complete game in a tough-luck loss against the Rangers on Friday.

This was one of the best starts of Baz’s career. He cruised through the first five innings facing just one batter over the minimum with zero walks and eight strikeouts. Then, Elias Díaz reached on an infield single to start the sixth inning and Joc Pederson made Baz pay for a first-pitch cutter at the letters that he sent out for a long two-run home run. That was the only mistake Baz made as his fastball and changeup stymied the Rangers’ left handed batters while his fastball, cutter, and knuckle-curve decimated the righties. Starts like this make for us to recognize his still ridiculous talent. Don’t look now, but Baz has a 2.93 ERA in 15 starts since May 15th with 82 strikeouts and 27 walks across 92 innings. He’s scheduled to face the Twins next time out.
Shane Baz

BAL Starting Pitcher #34

Shane Baz allowed one run in 6 1/3 innings and took the loss against the Phillies on Saturday.

Baz gave up six hits, walked one and struck out four. He fell to 4-10 with the loss. The only run Baz gave up came on a two-out single to Bryan De La Cruz in the fifth inning. Still, with no run support, the 27-year-old right-hander took the loss. Baz has a 3.86 ERA. He’s lined up to face the Rangers on the road next Friday.
Shane Baz

BAL Starting Pitcher #34

Shane Baz received a no-decision on Sunday against Atlanta, allowing one earned run on six hits and two walks over 4 1/3 innings.

Baz struck out two in the 90-pitch outing. He’s now given up just seven earned runs over his past four starts, but the strikeouts have fluctuated, and he allowed a high WHIP against the Braves on Sunday. Baz has been serviceable in deeper fantasy formats this season, but he hasn’t broken out following the offseason trade to Baltimore. He’s scheduled to pitch at home against the Phillies in his next start.
Shane Baz

BAL Starting Pitcher #34

Shane Baz allowed four runs — two earned — over six innings Monday in a no-decision against the Red Sox.

Baz struck out six and walked none. He’d walked at least one batter in 17 consecutive starts until last week, but now he’s posted a 15/0 K/BB in his last two starts, putting him at 105/42 in 117 2/3 innings overall. So, that’s rather encouraging. He’ll take a 4-9 record and a 4.13 ERA into his next start at home against the Braves.
Shane Baz

BAL Starting Pitcher #34

Shane Baz racked up nine strikeouts over 4 2/3 innings in a no-decision against the Royals on Sunday afternoon in Baltimore.

Baz allowed two runs (one earned) on seven hits in the ballgame and did not allow a base on balls. The Royals scratched out single runs against him in the second and third innings, but Baz was able to evade any further damage. He couldn’t get the final out in the fifth inning though, and was ultimately pulled at 104 pitches after allowing a two-out double to Lane Thomas. He got a whopping 19 swings and misses on the afternoon — seven on his fastball and six on his knuckle curve — while posting a CSW of 28 percent. The 27-year-old righty wraps up his first half with a 4-9 record, 4.11 ERA, 1.38 WHIP and a 99/42 K/BB ratio over 111 2/3 innings in his 19 starts.

Dodgers recalled RHP Bobby Miller from Triple-A Oklahoma City.

Miller finds himself back in the majors with Edgardo Henriquez hitting the shelf with a back issue. The 27-year-old former top pitching prospect allowed one run over three innings during his season debut earlier this month. He figures to operate in low-leverage spots out of the Dodgers’ bullpen, which pretty much extinguishes any avenues to fantasy relevance.

Dodgers placed RHP Edgardo Henriquez on the 15-day injured list with lower back discomfort.

It’s a significant loss for Los Angeles’ high-leverage relief mix as Henriquez has been one of their more reliable arms. The hard-throwing 24-year-old has posted an impressive 2.85 ERA and 71/25 K/BB ratio across 60 innings this season. He was probably next in line for save opportunities if lefty Tanner Scott continued to struggle after blowing a save against the Marlins over the weekend. He’s done for the remainder of the regular season, but figures to be ready for the outset of the postseason.

Lazaro Montes is on the bench for Monday’s series opener against the Angels.

No surprise here with lefty Reid Detmers toeing the rubber for Los Angeles in this one. The 21-year-old slugging prospect has started just five times in 13 games since arriving in the big leagues earlier this month. He’s managed to supply three homers during that span, but isn’t playing enough to make a real impact outside of extremely deep formats.

Yankees manager Aaron Boone told reporters Clarke Schmidt (elbow) will be activated this week.

Schmidt has wrapped up an extended minor league rehab assignment and will return to New York in a relief role. The 30-year-old doesn’t offer any real fantasy appeal over the final two weeks, but he should make an impact for the Yankees in the playoffs. He’s been out since undergoing Tommy John surgery last year.

Tigers activated RHP Keider Montero from the paternity list.

Montero is on track to start Wednesday’s series finale against the Blue Jays. The 26-year-old was away from the club on paternity leave over the weekend. He’s struggled a bit in recent outings, which makes it challenging to trust him as a viable fantasy option outside of extremely deep mixed leagues.

Braves manager Walt Weiss told reporters AJ Smith-Shawver is moving to the bullpen.

Smith-Shawver has posted an inflated 7.71 ERA across 21 innings over five starts since making it back from last year’s Tommy John surgery in late July. The 23-year-old’s stuff should play up considerably in shorter bursts out of the bullpen and he figures to make Atlanta’s postseason roster. It’s unclear how the Braves are going to fill his rotation spot since he was lined up to face the Cubs on Wednesday.

Rafael Devers will undergo core muscle surgery on Tuesday.

Devers hit the shelf with a season-ending core muscle injury over the weekend. The Giants are expected to provide an official return timetable following the procedure, but he’s likely to have a relatively normal offseason and be ready for spring training. The 29-year-old slugger came up just short in his bid to become the first San Francisco hitter to reach the 40-homer plateau since Barry Bonds, finishing with 37 round-trippers in 148 games. He blasted 18 homers over his final 52 games following the All-Star break.

Orioles manager Craig Albernaz told reporters that Samuel Basallo is dealing with right shoulder discomfort.

It’s no surprise since Basallo hasn’t really looked like himself for a couple weeks. The 22-year-old former top prospect is out of the lineup for Monday’s game against the Mets with Carlos Narváez taking over behind the dish. It sounds like he’s going to play through the lingering issue for the final two weeks, but the Orioles don’t want to take any chances with one of their key young players.
