Executive vice president and general manager Mike Elias, left, pictured with manager Brandon Hyde in April, must decide during the next week how much top-end young talent he'd be comfortable parting with to acquire an established major leaguers who could bolster the Orioles' chances of making a deep 2023 playoff run.

Overview

  • The Orioles lost their seventh consecutive game, falling 5-4 to the Brewers, marking their longest losing streak since 2021.
  • Tony Mansolino, promoted to interim manager after Brandon Hyde's firing, is navigating his first series in charge with a focus on stabilizing the team.
  • General Manager Mike Elias and owner David Rubenstein have publicly accepted responsibility for the team's poor performance but have not yet addressed the media directly.
  • Baltimore's pitching staff ranks near the bottom of MLB in ERA and WHIP, with the team designating veteran Kyle Gibson for assignment after four disappointing starts.
  • Playoff odds have plummeted to 3.5%, and the Orioles may turn to prospect call-ups if the season continues on its current trajectory.
