Chayce McDermott - MLB News, Rumors, & Updates | FOX Sports

Returns from injury at Triple-A McDermott (shoulder) will start the first game of Triple-A Norfolk's doubleheader Wednesday, Steve Melewski of MASNSports.com reports.

Impact It will be his first game action since he went down with a right scapula stress reaction in late July. It's unlikely McDermott will be a factor with the Orioles before the end of the season, but finishing the year healthy would give the right-hander and the team some peace of mind heading into the offseason.

Goes on Triple-A IL McDermott was placed on the 7-day injured list at Triple-A Norfolk on Tuesday with a right scapula stress reaction, Rich Dubroff of BaltimoreBaseball.com reports.

Impact McDermott's last appearance for Norfolk was a week ago and he struck out 10 while yielding just two runs over six innings. However, the right-hander evidently picked up an injury during or after that outing and it seems like something that's likely to sideline him for several weeks.

Heads back to minors The Orioles optioned McDermott to Triple-A Norfolk on Thursday.

Impact The transaction comes one day after McDermott allowed three runs over four innings of work against the Marlins in his major-league debut. Baltimore has a doubleheader versus the Blue Jays on Monday, so McDermott's next start could still come at the big-league level.

Goes four frames in MLB debut McDermott allowed three runs on five hits and two walks while striking out three batters over four innings in a no-decision against Miami on Wednesday.

Impact McDermott was called up Wednesday to make his big-league debut after posting a 3.96 ERA and 1.43 WHIP over 91.0 innings in Triple-A. The right-hander got through three scoreless frames against the Marlins but struggled in the fourth, giving up three runs on four hits, including a Josh Bell homer. That proved to be his final frame, as Baltimore brought in a reliever to begin the fifth. Though he didn't pitch particularly well, there's a good chance McDermott will get another turn in the rotation with Baltimore hosting a doubleheader against Toronto in five days.

JULY 25 • ROTOWIRE

Contract selected ahead of debut The Orioles selected McDermott's contract from Triple-A Norfolk on Wednesday.

Impact McDermott is set to make his major-league debut with a start Wednesday in Miami. The right-hander has collected a 3.96 ERA and 129:54 K:BB over 91 innings this season with Norfolk, covering 19 starts and one relief appearance. The fifth spot in the Orioles' rotation is currently open and McDermott is being given a chance to show he can fill it.

JULY 24 • ROTOWIRE

Getting first MLB start Wednesday Orioles manager Brandon Hyde said that McDermott will be called up from Triple-A Norfolk to start Wednesday against the Marlins, Andy Kostka of TheBaltimoreBanner.com reports.

Impact McDermott's promotion already appeared imminent after he joined the Orioles' taxi squad in Miami on Tuesday, and Hyde confirmed that the 25-year-old righty would fill the opening in the rotation created by Cade Povich's demotion to Triple-A shortly before the All-Star break. Over 20 appearances (19 starts) at Norfolk this season, McDermott posted a 3.96 ERA and 1.43 WHIP while piling up 129 strikeouts over 91 innings. Though McDermott should be able to continue generating swings and misses in the big leagues on the back of his mid-to-upper 90s fastball and a sharp slider, control remains a concern for the young righty, who has walked 13.5 percent of the batters he's faced in the minors this season. A matchup with a weak Miami lineup at least offers McDermott a soft landing spot in his MLB debut.

Likely to make MLB debut Wednesday McDermott is likely to make his major-league debut Wednesday in Miami, Matt Weyrich of The Baltimore Sun reports.

Impact McDermott had previously been added to the taxi squad and the Orioles have since announced that Corbin Burnes will start Thursday, filling one of their TBD slots. The remaining TBD slot is Wednesday, and McDermott is fully expected to take it. The 25-year-old right-hander has posted a 3.96 ERA and 129:54 K:BB over 91 innings this season with Norfolk.

JULY 23 • ROTOWIRE

Added to taxi squad The Orioles have added McDermott to their taxi squad, Matt Weyrich of The Baltimore Sun reports.

Impact Baltimore currently has a vacancy in its rotation after sending Cade Povich down to Triple-A Norfolk prior to the All-Star break, and McDermott would appear in line to fill it either Wednesday or Thursday in Miami in what would be his major-league debut. The right-hander has collected a 3.96 ERA and 129:54 K:BB over 91 innings this season with Norfolk.

JULY 23 • ROTOWIRE

Looking healthy in spring McDermott (back) has struck out 10 over 6.2 scoreless innings while allowing five hits and three walks over three appearances in Grapefruit League play.

Impact McDermott finished the 2023 campaign on Triple-A Norfolk's injured list due to a back strain, but he reported to spring training at full health and has turned some heads with his performance thus far. The 25-year-old right-hander is ticketed for a return trip to Norfolk to begin the 2024 season, but he should rank high on the list for a call-up if the Orioles' rotation depth is tested at any point.
