Latest news
The Orioles placed Basallo (concussion) on the 7-day injured list Wednesday.
Basallo had to be removed from Monday's game versus the Blue Jays after taking a foul tip off his catcher's mask, and testing has determined he suffered a concussion. It will end the season of Basallo, who has also dealt with a nagging right shoulder injury during the second half. The 22-year-old will finish the 2026 campaign with a .222/.291/.406 batting line and 18 home runs over 112 contests. While Basallo is out, Carlos Narvaez will serve as the Orioles' primary catcher in the final days of the regular season.

Basallo (head) is not in the lineup for the first game of Wednesday's doubleheader against the Blue Jays.
Basallo had to be lifted from Monday's game versus the Blue Jays after taking a foul tip off his catcher's mask. The Orioles are keeping a close eye on Basallo to see if he develops concussion symptoms, which leaves his status for the final week of the regular season in limbo. Carlos Narvaez will do the catching for Baltimore during Wednesday's matinee.

Basallo was removed from Monday's game against Toronto after taking a foul ball off his mask, Andy Kostka of TheBanner.com reports.
Basallo took a hard foul ball off his mask earlier in the matchup and got checked out by the team trainer, but he managed to remain in the game until the top of the seventh inning. He also took a few foul tips off his arm and elbow over the course of the contest. Basallo's removal appears to be a cautionary move by the Orioles, though the team should have more information on the backstop's availability going forward shortly after Monday's game.

Basallo went 2-for-4 with a solo home run and an additional RBI in the win versus the Mets on Wednesday.
One pitch after Christian Encarnacion-Strand crushed a two-run homer in the third inning, Basallo launched his 18th long ball of the campaign. It was the first homer of September for the rookie backstop, who ended a 17-game power drought. The 22-year-old entered Wednesday's contest with a .493 OPS in 25 contests since the All-Star break.

Basallo (shoulder) will start at catcher and bat sixth Wednesday against the Mets, Andy Kostka of TheBanner.com reports.
Basallo sat out Tuesday's contest due to a lingering shoulder issue, but he appears to be feeling well enough to return to the starting nine Wednesday. The 22-year-old has experienced a sharp drop in production recently, slashing just .143/.273/.143 with two RBI and three runs scored across 33 plate appearances since the beginning of September.

Basallo (shoulder) is not in the lineup for Tuesday's contest against the Mets.
It's the second straight day Basallo has been out of the Orioles' lineup, and he has started only five of the past 12 contests. Basallo missed almost a month of action at the beginning of the second half with right shoulder inflammation, and manager Craig Albernaz noted Monday that Basallo's shoulder is still giving him issues, per Andy Kostka of TheBanner.com. The Orioles could eventually opt to shut Basallo down, but Albernaz has indicated it's not under consideration just yet. Yohel Pozo is doing the catching for Baltimore on Tuesday.
