BALTIMORE — The Orioles<\/a> have placed Brandon Young<\/a> on the 60-day injured list, ending a frustrating season for the rookie right-hander.<\/p>\n Young went 1-7 with a 6.24 ERA in 12 starts. His lone victory came at Houston<\/a> on Aug. 15, when he lost a perfect game on an infield hit with two outs in the eighth inning.<\/p>\n In his next start, also against the Astros, Young strained his left hamstring covering first base on a grounder and was placed on the 15-day injured list. When it became apparent that he could not recover before the end of September, the Orioles moved Young to the 60-day IL.<\/p>\n Although Young’s numbers were unimpressive, the experience the 26-year-old gained should be helpful in 2026.<\/p>\n “He kind of found out how his stuff plays in the big leagues,” interim manager Tony Mansolino said.<\/p>\n Although Young lost his first six decisions, he showed promise in his stellar start against the Astros and July 8 against the New York Mets<\/a>, when he struck out six and allowed just five hits in 5 1\/3 innings.<\/p>\n In other moves Wednesday, the Orioles brought up right-hander Roansy Contreras and infielder Emmanuel Rivera from Triple-A Norfolk and designated infielder Vimael Machin<\/a> for assignment.<\/p>\n Mach\u00edn batted .091 in four games with Baltimore, his first stint in the majors since playing with Oakland in 2022.<\/p>\n Mansolino said putting Rivera at third base will improve Baltimore’s infield defensively with Jordan Westburg<\/a> on the IL.<\/p>\n
