Goes on 15-day IL The Astros placed Ort on the 15-day injured list Thursday with a left oblique strain, Brian McTaggart of MLB.com reports.
Impact Ort injured his oblique early on in spring training and has progressed slowly. He did begin throwing off a mound last week, but there's no word yet on when he might be ready for a rehab assignment.
6 DAYS AGO • ROTOWIRE
Will land on IL Manager Joe Espada confirmed Saturday that Ort (oblique) will begin the season on the injured list, Matt Kawahara of the Houston Chronicle reports.
Impact Ort has been out since mid-February dealing with a left oblique injury and is being brought along relatively slowly, as he only began throwing off a mound Thursday. Despite his slow progress, the Astros are still hopeful he'll be able to return before the end of April.
MARCH 22 • ROTOWIRE
Not likely for Opening Day roster Ort (oblique) is not likely to be on the Astros' Opening Day roster, Matt Kawahara of the Houston Chronicle reports.
Impact Ort first suffered the injury early in spring training and has resumed throwing off a mound. While it's very likely he'll begin the season on the injured list, general manager Dana Brown said he expects Ort to return at some point in April
MARCH 20 • ROTOWIRE
Facing hitters Thursday Ort (oblique) will throw a live batting practice session Thursday, Brian McTaggart of MLB.com reports.
Impact Ort has progressed slowly but surely from an early-camp left oblique injury. The Astros don't appear to have officially ruled him out for Opening Day yet, but it seems unlikely that he will be ready.
MARCH 18 • ROTOWIRE
Resumes mound work Ort (oblique) threw a bullpen session Tuesday, Brian McTaggart of MLB.com reports.
Impact Ort has taken a step forward in his throwing progression after he had previously been limited to playing catch off flat ground. The 33-year-old right-hander tweaked an oblique early in camp and has yet to make his Grapefruit League debut, but since he'll be deployed as a one- or two-inning reliever once healthy, Ort could still have a shot at being ready to go for Opening Day.
MARCH 11 • ROTOWIRE
Throwing on flat ground Ort (oblique) has progressed to flat-ground throwing, Brian McTaggart of MLB.com reports.
Impact Ort tweaked his left oblique early on in camp but has made some nice progress of late. However, given that he's not throwing off a mound yet and it's not clear when he might be game-ready, his availability for Opening Day would appear to be in question.
MARCH 7 • ROTOWIRE
Throwing in batting cage Ort (oblique) is doing some throwing in the batting cage off a screen, Brian McTaggart of MLB.com reports.
Impact Ort is being eased back into a throwing program as he comes back from left oblique soreness. The Astros expect the reliever to have plenty of time to get ramped up for Opening Day as long as he continues to progress. Ort posted a 2.55 ERA, 0.81 WHIP and 26:4 K:BB across 24.2 regular-season frames for Houston in 2024.
FEBRUARY 24 • ROTOWIRE
Slowed by oblique issue Astros manager Joe Espada said Tuesday that Ort is nursing a left oblique injury and won't throw for a couple of days, Matt Kawahara of the Houston Chronicle reports.
Impact The injury will most likely push Ort's Grapefruit League debut back until at least next week, but Espada hasn't suggested that the Astros are worried about the right-handed reliever's availability for Opening Day. Ort covered 24.2 innings out of the Houston bullpen in 2024, logging a 2.55 ERA, 0.81 WHIP and 26:4 K:BB while collecting three holds.

Back from paternity leave The Astros reinstated Ort from the paternity list Saturday, Matt Kawahara of the Houston Chronicle reports.
Impact After spending the three-day maximum away from the team following the birth of his child, Ort will now return to the Astros' bullpen. In order to make room on the roster, Shawn Dubin was optioned to Triple-A Sugar Land.

Goes on paternity list Matt Kawahara of the Houston ChronicleThe Astros placed Ort on the paternity list Wednesday, kjhkj reports.
Impact Ort will miss a minimum of one and a maximum of three games while welcoming a new member to the family. His spot on the roster and in the bullpen will be absorbed by Seth Martinez.

Rejoins bullpen The Astros recalled Ort from Triple-A Sugar Land on Monday, Chandler Rome of The Athletic reports.

Sent back to Sugar Land The Astros optioned Ort to Triple-A Sugar Land on Thursday, Chandler Rome of The Athletic reports.
Impact Ort registered two appearances with the Astros after being recalled from Triple-A on Saturday, throwing three shutout innings while striking out six batters. Despite his solid showing, he'll be sent back to the minors in order to clear room for Jake Bloss (shoulder), who was reinstated from the IL on Thursday. Ort has been dominant in the minors (0.75 ERA in 12 innings) since joining the Astros organization in late May, so it's possible he returns to Houston in the near future.
JULY 11, 2024 • ROTOWIRE
Recalled to majors The Astros recalled Ort from Triple-A Sugar Land on Saturday, Matt Kawahara of the Houston Chronicle reports.
Impact Since being claimed off waivers from Baltimore in May, Ort has allowed just one earned run in 12 innings with Sugar Land while striking out 17 batters and walking four. His dominant performance has now earned him another shot in the majors, and he figures to work in middle relief while with the Astros. Luis Contreras was optioned to Triple-A in a corresponding move.

Claimed by Mariners The Mariners claimed Ort (elbow) off waivers from Boston on Friday, Chris Cotillo of The Springfield Republican reports.
Impact Ort struggled to the tune of a 6.26 ERA and 1.57 WHIP through 23 innings in the majors in 2023, and his season was cut short by an elbow injury in early July. The 31-year-old righty likely won't have a significant role in the Mariners' bullpen.

Placed on outright waivers Ort (elbow) was placed on outright waivers Wednesday, Pete Abraham of The Boston Globe reports.
Impact Ort struggled to a 6.26 ERA over 23 innings for the Red Sox this season and finished the year on the injured list because of nagging elbow inflammation. The 31-year-old right-hander holds a career 6.27 ERA in 47 total major-league appearances and seems likely to pass through waivers unclaimed.
