$4 million club option declined The Orioles declined Coulombe's $4 million club option for 2025 on Monday.
Impact This is a surprise, as Coulombe boasts a 2.56 ERA, 0.95 WHIP and 90:17 K:BB over 81 innings across the last two seasons with the Orioles. The 35-year-old did miss a chunk of 2024 following surgery to remove bone chips from his elbow, but he returned late in the year to make five scoreless appearances in the regular season and another scoreless outing in the playoffs. Coulombe could be able to land a multi-year contract this offseason.

The lefty was dynamite earlier this season before getting hurt, posting a 2.42 ERA, 0.62 WHIP and 28:3 K:BB over 26 innings.

Impact Coulombe threw a live batting practice session Tuesday and is now ready for game action. Considering he's been out since mid-June after undergoing surgery to remove bone chips from his left elbow, it'll likely take a handful of rehab appearances before Coulombe is ready to return to the majors. He remains on track to be activated prior to the end of the regular season.

Orioles lose 2 more key pitchers to injuries: Bradish out for season and Coulombe until September
Baltimore Orioles starter Kyle Bradish had season-ending Tommy John surgery, and reliever Danny Coulombe also will be sidelined for an extended stretch following an elbow operationJUNE 19 • ASSOCIATED PRESS
Undergoes surgery Coulombe underwent surgery Tuesday to remove bone chips in his left elbow, Jacob Calvin Meyer of The Baltimore Sun reports.
Impact General manager Mike Elias said Wednesday that the Orioles are still hopeful that Coulombe will be able to return to the team's bullpen before the end of the season, though the earliest possible return for the left-hander would likely be sometime in September. A clearer return timeline may emerge once the 34-year-old is cleared to begin throwing, but he is in line for a long stay on the injured list no matter what.

Ends regular season with loss Coulombe (5-3) allowed two runs (one earned) on two hits and struck out two over one inning, taking the loss Sunday versus the Red Sox.
Impact Two of Coulombe's three losses this season occurred over his last five appearances. He's allowed five runs (four earned) across his last 4.2 innings. Despite the late skid, he has a 2.81 ERA, 1.11 WHIP and 58:12 K:BB with two saves and 21 holds through 51.1 innings this season. He'll be a key lefty in Baltimore's bullpen during the playoffs, though Yennier Cano and Tyler Wells are likely the top options for save chances.

Gets walked off Wednesday Coulombe (5-2) allowed a run on two hits over one-third of an inning, taking the loss Wednesday versus the Astros.
Impact Coulombe entered this series with a 12-inning scoreless streak, but the Astros have tagged him for two runs across one inning in two appearances. He allowed a double to Yainer Diaz and a walk-off single to Mauricio Dubon in Wednesday's contest. Coulombe has arguably been the Orioles' most consistent lefty reliever this year with a 2.64 ERA, 1.11 WHIP and 53:11 K:BB through 48.2 innings, and he's added two saves and 20 holds over 57 appearances. While he's faltering late in the year, he should still be able to hold down a setup role the rest of the way.
SEPTEMBER 21, 2023 • ROTOWIRE
Grabs another win Coulombe (5-1) struck out one over 1.1 perfect innings to earn the win Sunday over the Diamondbacks.
Impact Jack Flaherty started to fade in the fifth inning, but Coulombe was able to step in and steady things for the Orioles. They rallied ahead in the sixth, allowing Coulombe to pick up his second win in as many outings. The southpaw has an 8.1-inning scoreless streak going, during which he's posted an 11:2 K:BB with a save and four holds. He's at a 2.51 ERA, 1.02 WHIP and 52:10 K:BB over 43 innings this season, though his usage Sunday suggests he's not strictly confined to late-inning work.
SEPTEMBER 4, 2023 • ROTOWIRE
Earns win Tuesday Coulombe (4-1) pitched 1.2 perfect innings to earn the win Tuesday over the White Sox.
Impact Dean Kremer left runners on base in the seventh inning, but Coulombe was able to pitch out of trouble just before the Orioles rallied ahead. Coulombe's scoreless streak is up to seven innings over eight appearances, and he has a 10:2 K:BB in that span. For the season, he's at a 2.59 ERA, 1.06 WHIP and 51:10 K:BB with two saves and 20 holds over 41.2 innings. With Felix Bautista (elbow) sidelined, Coulombe and Yennier Cano figure to handle most of the high-leverage assignments.
AUGUST 30, 2023 • ROTOWIRE
Earns one-out save Coulombe struck out the only batter he faced to pick up the save in Friday's 5-4 win over Colorado.
Impact Orioles' closer Felix Bautista was called upon to close the ninth, but with two outs and the count at 2-2 against pinch-hitter Michael Toglia, Bautista was forced from the game with right-arm discomfort. Coulombe replaced Bautista and the lefty needed just one pitch to complete the strikeout against the switch-hitter and finish out the game. If Bautista ends up missing an extended period, Yennier Cano appears to be first in line to pick up save opportunities, though Coulombe could be used if the matchup is right. He holds a 2.75 ERA with 19 holds, two saves and 49 strikeouts over 39.1 innings.

Coulombe has been terrific out of the Orioles' bullpen this season, holding a 2.77 ERA and 48:9 K:BB over 39 innings.
