Keegan Akin: Breaking News
Serving as opener
Akin will start Sunday's game against the Athletics, Jacob Calvin Meyer of The Baltimore Sun reports. Akin served as an opener three times last season will do so again Sunday for the first time in 2026. He's surrendered seven earned runs with a 5:0 K:BB across his first 5.2 innings of the season. Chris Bassitt is expected to follow as the primary pitcher.
Back from IL
The Orioles reinstated Akin (groin) from the injured list Saturday. Akin has been sidelined since the beginning of the season due to an adductor strain. He's been playing in rehab games at Triple-A Norfolk since April 15, however, and he's allowed one earned run on three hits and a walk while striking out five batters over four innings. The lefty will now return to claim a middle-relief role in Baltimore's bullpen, pushing Cameron Foster back to Triple-A.
