It’s starting to look like the Orioles might legitimately run out of catchers. Gary Sánchez is the only healthy backstop left on the club’s 40-man roster at the moment unless Baltimore finally wants to finally call up top prospect Samuel Basallo.

O’Neill was initially placed on the IL with a shoulder impingement on May 18. He began a rehab assignment in early June but was pulled off the assignment on June 14 and received an injection in his AC joint. He started his rehab assignment with High-A Aberdeen on June 22, then played four games for Double-A Chesapeake June 24-28, and is now with Triple-A Norfolk. He should make another rehab appearance for Triple-A Norfolk, and then could be activated to rejoin the Orioles outfield. It’s unclear what his shoulder injury will do to his power, but O’Neill’s offensive upside is good enough that he should be added anywhere he was dropped. His return would likely push Ramon Laureano into a part-time role, unless the Orioles choose to play O’Neill mostly at designated hitter, which would push Coby Mayo or Ramon Urias to the bench.

Henderson did all of his damage in the extra frames. He blasted a homer in the 10th to give the O’s a 5-3 lead, and after Baltimore blew a 6-3 lead in the bottom of the frame, Henderson doubled in a pair in the 11th. The 24-year-old star ends June with 10 homers, 29 RBI and .799 OPS, and appears to be getting back to that upper-echelon level he played at for the majority of 2024. There’s every reason to believe that’ll be what fantasy managers get from Henderson over the summer.

Barnhart has decided to hang up his spikes after a dozen years in the majors from 2014-2025 that included stints with the Reds, Tigers, Cubs, Diamondbacks and Rangers. The 34-year-old backstop got into eight contests earlier this year with Texas and calls it a career after 920 big-league games.

Hunter Goodman appears headed to the injured list with a hamstring strain after missing the club’s last four games. Nothing official yet, but it seems inevitable with Nola coming up to take a roster spot ahead of Tuesday’s series opener against the Astros.

Yankees manager Aaron Boone told reporters Wells underwent testing that ruled out any potential blood clots and that the issue hasn’t impacted his on-field performance. He added that the 25-year-old backstop will remain on the bench through Tuesday’s game against the Blue Jays, but could potentially return on Wednesday. It’ll be J.C. Escarra and Ben Rice handling the catching duties in his absence. There’s always a risk Wells could require a trip to the injured list if the issue persists, but it sounds like there’s optimism he’ll be ready to return at some point later this week. Fantasy managers should consider him day-to-day for now.
