Heston Kjerstad - Homers in Sunday's win Kjerstad hit a solo home run in his lone at-bat in Sunday's 6-2 win over the Twins.
Impact Kjerstad was a defensive replacement in right field and went yard when he came to the plate in the eighth inning. After returning from a concussion in mid-September, he went 7-for-30 (.233) over his last 11 contests of the season. Kjerstad finished the regular season with a .253/.351/.394 slash line, four homers, 14 RBI, eight runs scored and one stolen base over 114 plate appearances. If he makes the Orioles' postseason roster, he'll likely be a bench option.

James McCann - Blasts three-run homer McCann went 1-for-4 with a three-run home run Sunday against the Twins.
Impact McCann's eighth blast of the season was a three-run shot that provided the game-winning runs for the Orioles. Over his final 14 games spanning 49 at-bats, McCann contributed a .265 average with five homers and 15 RBI. He'll continue to play a key role off the bench for the Orioles as they begin their postseason push on Tuesday at home against the Royals.

Albert Suárez - Quality start sets up ninth win Suarez (9-7) earned the win Sunday, allowing two runs on four hits and one walk over six innings against the Twins. He struck out four.
Impact Suarez closed out his 2024 campaign with a quality start, allowing a couple of solo homers but limiting the Twins to just three additional baserunners as he held on for his ninth victory of the season. It was a nice bounce back for Suarez who had allowed eight earned runs over his previous two starts spanning 8.2 innings. However, after having allowed just eight home runs through his first 27 appearances (109 IP), Suarez has allowed nine over his last five starts (24.2 IP). The propensity for giving up the long ball will be a concern as the Orioles set their postseason rotation.

Jackson Holliday - On base five times Saturday Holliday went 3-for-4 with a double, two walks and a run scored in Saturday's 9-2 win over the Twins.
Impact Holliday got a rare look at leadoff with Gunnar Henderson resting Saturday. It ended up leading to one of Holliday's best games of the year, as he got aboard a season-high five times. The infielder has been lacking in power with just five extra-base hits over his last 39 games. Overall, he has a .185/.248/.307 slash line with five home runs, 23 RBI, 28 runs scored, four stolen bases, four doubles and two triples over 59 contests.
SEPTEMBER 29 • ROTOWIRE
Ryan O'Hearn - Homers in back-to-back games O'Hearn went 2-for-5 with a two-run home run in Saturday's 9-2 win over the Twins.
Impact O'Hearn has homered in back-to-back games after going 25 contests without a long ball. The slugger set a career high with his 15th homer of the year. He's added a .261/.330/.424 slash line, 59 RBI, 58 runs scored and three stolen bases over 141 games this year as a strong-side platoon option at first base, designated hitter and the corner outfield spots.
SEPTEMBER 29 • ROTOWIRE
Emmanuel Rivera - Career game in Minnesota Rivera went 4-for-4 with two home runs, a double, a walk, four RBI and three runs scored in Saturday's 9-2 win over the Twins.
Impact Rivera has had to battle for playing time ever since he got to Baltimore, but he's produced with a .323/.380/.597 slash line over 26 games with the team. He doubled his homer total with the Orioles in a big game Saturday. Overall in 2024, he's slashing .240/.314/.346 with five homers, 29 RBI, 24 runs scored and two stolen bases over 300 plate appearances between the Orioles and the Marlins. With Baltimore getting healthier late in the regular season, Rivera may be limited to a bench role in the postseason.

Tucker Davidson - Designated for assignment Davidson was designated for assignment Sunday.
Impact Davidson's contract was selected Saturday, and he logged 4.2 scoreless innings in Minnesota while giving up four hits and two walks with just one strikeout. The 28-year-old lefty logged a 3.89 ERA, 1.34 WHIP and 104 strikeouts in 115.2 innings at Triple-A this season.
SEPTEMBER 29 • ROTOWIRE
Colin Selby - Recalled Sunday Selby was recalled from Triple-A Norfolk on Sunday.
Impact Selby has a 4.24 ERA, 1.35 WHIP, 26 strikeouts and four saves in 17 innings for Norfolk. The 26-year-old righty has good stuff and was acquired by Baltimore from Kansas City in July for cash.
SEPTEMBER 29 • ROTOWIRE
Anthony Santander - Not starting Sunday Santander is absent from Sunday's lineup against Minnesota.
Impact Santander will rest for the regular-season finale after going 2-for-9 with one RBI over his last two outings. Unless he pinch hits Sunday, he'll end the 2024 regular season slashing .235/.308/.506 with 44 home runs and 102 RBI over 665 plate appearances. The Orioles will start Colton Cowser, Cedric Mullins and Ryan O'Hearn in the outfield.
