Joseph Ward: Breaking News

Ward went 1-for-4 with a solo home run during the Orioles' 4-1 loss to the Rays on Tuesday. Ward wasted no time getting the Orioles on the board after taking the second pitch he saw from Griffin Jax deep to left field for a leadoff home run. However, that ended up being the only run scored by Baltimore, with Ward accounting for one of his team's four hits in Tuesday's loss. It was Ward's second home run of the season, a far cry from the 36 homers he recorded with the Angels in 2025. However, his .788 OPS this season (215 plate appearances) is only a few ticks lower than last year (.792 OPS across 663 plate appearances).

Ward believes his power output has been affected by playing through a bone bruise in his hand that he suffered April 13 versus the Diamondbacks, Matt Weyrich of The Baltimore Sun reports. Through that April 13 contest, Ward was slashing .333/.427/.492 with a 10:17 BB:K and 16.8 percent chase rate. Since then, he's adopted a more patient approach, hitting .212/.422/.294 with a 31:17 BB:K and 11.2 percent chase rate. Ward considers himself healed now, having traded in a thick padded hand guard for a thinner one Tuesday. Now that he's back to 100 percent, Ward could be due for a surge of power moving forward. The 32-year-old has just one home run in 42 games this season after slugging a career-high 36 long balls in 2025.

Ward is absent from the lineup for Monday's game versus the Yankees. It's the first day off this season for Ward, who is in a mini slump with just two hits over his last seven games (though he does have a 9:5 BB:K over that stretch). Colton Cowser will start in left field and bat seventh while Ward grabs a breather.
