Fails to make cut The Orioles optioned Selby to minor-league camp Sunday, Matt Weyrich of The Baltimore Sun reports.

Impact Selby finished the 2024 regular season on the Orioles' 28-man roster and made five total relief appearances in the majors between stops with Baltimore and Kansas City, tossing seven innings while allowing two earned runs on three hits and four walks. Though he retains a 40-man roster spot heading into 2025, Selby took himself out of contention for an Opening Day bullpen gig by giving up four earned runs and recording just two outs in his lone Grapefruit League appearance. He'll likely begin the upcoming season at Triple-A Norfolk.

The 26-year-old righty was DFA'd by Kansas City on Saturday after putting up a 6.23 ERA and 1.18 WHIP over 21.2 innings with Triple-A Omaha, and he'll fill in as organizational depth for the O's. Kyle Bradish (elbow) was moved to the 60-day IL in order to clear space on Baltimore's 40-man roster.

Impact Selby was designated for assignment by Pittsburgh on Tuesday and he'll now head to his new home in Kansas City. The 26-year-old made two appearances with Triple-A Indianapolis this season, tossing two scoreless innings while striking out a batter.

Opening again Sunday Selby is listed as Pittsburgh's probable starting pitcher Sunday against the Yankees.

Impact Selby will serve as an opener for the fifth time this season, and he's allowed four earned runs with a 9:3 K:BB over six frames in that role. The rookie right-hander will likely only cover an inning or two before giving way to potential bulk pitcher Andre Jackson.

Opening Wednesday Selby will start Wednesday's game against the Nationals, Jason Mackey of the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette reports.

Impact Selby's last outing as an opener came a week ago against Milwaukee, during which he surrendered three runs in just one inning. The 25-year-old holds an 8.64 ERA on the season through 16.2 frames, so the Pirates likely won't risk keeping Selby in for much longer than one inning.

SEPTEMBER 13, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Opening again Wednesday Selby will start Wednesday's game against the Brewers, Justice delos Santos of MLB.com reports.

Impact Wednesday will mark the third time Selby has served as Pittsburgh's opener since being promoted to the majors in August. He didn't allow a run in either of his first two starts, but he gave up two runs in just one-third of an inning during his most-recent appearance. He'll likely stay in the game for an inning or two before handing things over to Mitch Keller, who is likely to serve as a bulk reliever.

Serving as opener Tuesday Selby will serve as the Pirates' opening pitcher Tuesday against the Royals.

Impact Luis Ortiz had been listed as the probable starter for Pittsburgh, but he'll likely work in bulk relief instead. Selby tossed two scoreless innings with three strikeouts in his last opener assignment this past Saturday versus the Cubs.

Pirates bring up pitching prospect Colin Selby The Pittsburgh Pirates have promoted right-handed pitcher Colin Selby from Triple-A Indianapolis

AUGUST 8, 2023 • DEADSPIN.COM

Getting call to majors Selby is being called up to the Pirates' major-league roster Tuesday, Jason Mackey of the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette reports.

Impact It will be the first taste of MLB action for Selby, who has pitched to a 3.86 ERA, 1.35 WHIP and 41:22 K:BB through 30.1 innings this season out of the Triple-A Indianapolis bullpen. The 25-year-old right-hander will likely fill a middle-relief role with Pittsburgh.

Returns to Triple-A bullpen Selby (shoulder) tossed a scoreless inning in relief Friday for Triple-A Indianapolis after being reinstated from the 7-day injured list earlier that day.

Impact Selby was on the shelf for about a month due to the right shoulder injury. The 25-year-old right-handed reliever has compiled a 3.86 ERA, 1.24 WHIP and 20:11 K:BB in 16.1 innings. Though he's not seen as one of the Pirates' better pitching prospects, Selby's presence on the 40-man roster should give him a chance at making his big-league debut later in 2023 if Pittsburgh has a need for another bullpen arm.

On shelf with shoulder injury Pirates director of sports medicine Todd Tomczyk said Wednesday that Selby has been shut down at Triple-A Indianapolis due to a shoulder injury, Jason Mackey of the Pittsburgh Post...

Impact Selby hasn't resumed a throwing program since Indianapolis placed him on the 7-day injured list May 19 with a previously undisclosed injury. Based on where he currently stands in his recovery from the shoulder issue, Selby is likely at least a few weeks away from being ready to pitch in games.

MAY 31, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

On IL at Triple-A Selby was placed on the 7-day injured list last week with Triple-A Indianapolis.

Impact Arguably the Pirates' best relief pitching prospect, Selby struck out 20 and walked 11 while generating groundballs 62.9 percent of the time in 15.1 innings at Triple-A. He also notched three saves in 14 appearances. It's unclear what the nature of his injury is.

MAY 24, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Optioned to minors Selby was optioned Tuesday to Triple-A Indianapolis by the Pirates.

Impact Selby pitched well in 2022 with a 2.27 ERA and 8 saves over 29 appearances with Double-A Altoona and Indianapolis. The right-hander was protected from the Rule 5 draft in November by being added to the 40-man roster, and should spend time in Pittsburgh this summer -- if not sooner.
