Darren O'Day

Darren O'Day (hamstring) could make return for Baltimore this week

Baltimore Orioles pitcher Darren O'Day (hamstring) could be activated this week, manager Buck Showalter said on Monday.

What It Means:

O'Day could potentially be activated following a scheduled simulation throwing on Tuesday. The 33-year-old vet will return to a prominent relief role with the Orioles when he's deemed ready. He has been sidelined since the start of June with a hamstring strain.

O'Day has a 3.77 xFIP with an impressive 28.74 strikeout percentage in 20 innings pitched this season. Our models currently project him to record a 4.00 ERA and a 25.30 strikeout percentage across 18 more innings of work over the remaining course of the year.
