are looking to maintain their stranglehold on the AL East division during their six-game homestand that sees them facing two challenging opponents.At the time, it was unknown what the corresponding roster move was going to be, although it was speculated here that it was likely Heston Kjerstad was getting sent down to Triple-A so he could get more at-bats in an everyday type of role.
It's been a struggle for Hays this year coming off his All-Star season in 2023 when he slashed .275/.325/.444 with 16 homers, 54 extra-base hits, 67 RBI, and OPS+ of 114. Through 19 games prior to his left calf strain, he was only slashing .111/.200/.111 with no extra-base hits and just two RBI. Still, the Orioles believe in the 28-year-old who has been a staple in their outfield and clubhouse since 2020.
McKenna, on the other hand, might have spent his final time with the organization following this DFA as he can decline the outright assignment and hit free agency if he clears waivers.The 27-year-old has performed well when called upon by Baltimore, having gone 3-8 with two home runs and two RBI in his limited action across nine games.Brad Wakai graduated from Penn State University with a degree in Journalism.
