Orioles manager Craig Albernaz told reporters that Keegan Akin underwent Tommy John surgery.

"It's a big loss for us," Albernaz said. Akin will likely miss the start of next season.

Orioles left-hander Keegan Akin has undergone left elbow reconstruction surgery.

EDGE Analysis

Akin recently underwent an MRI that revealed an injury to his left ulnar collateral ligament, and he underwent surgery performed by Dr. Keith Meister on Wednesday. The southpaw will miss the remainder of the season and most of the 2027 campaign, as well.

The Orioles transferred RHP Keegan Akin to the 60-day injured list with elbow discomfort.

EDGE Analysis

Akin is scheduled to visit a specialist this week.

The Orioles transferred Akin (elbow) from the 15-day injured list to the 60-day IL on Monday, Roch Kubatko of MASNSports.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Akin landed on the IL on June 29 due to left elbow inflammation and is scheduled to meet with Dr. Keith Meister on Tuesday to receive a second opinion on his injury. The Orioles fear that Akin may have UCL damage that could require surgery, and their willingness to shift the southpaw to the 60-day IL less than three weeks after he landed on the shelf suggests that the club is bracing for bad news following his consultation with Dr. Meister. The transaction opens up a spot on the 40-man roster for right-hander Cam Sanders, whom the Orioles acquired in a trade with the Pirates.

Akin will receive a second opinion on his injured left elbow from Dr. Keith Meister next week, Jake Rill of MLB.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Akin landed on the 15-day injured list in late June with soreness in his pitching elbow. It seems he could be looking at an extended absence, but more will be known following his visit with Dr. Meister.

The Orioles are awaiting MRI results on Akin's left elbow, Rich Dubroff of BaltimoreBaseball.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Akin was placed on the 15-day injured list Monday with left elbow discomfort, and he was sent for imaging to make sure he's not dealing with something more serious. The Orioles should have more on the lefty's condition later this week.

The Orioles placed Akin on the 15-day injured list Monday, retroactive to Sunday, due to left elbow discomfort.

EDGE Analysis

The issue may have cropped up during Akin's last outing Saturday against the Nationals, when he tossed two scoreless innings and allowed one hit and one walk while striking out two. After giving up six earned runs against Washington on May 16, Akins has posted a 1.56 ERA and 1.21 WHIP across 17.1 innings in his last 15 outings, so his loss is a sizable blow to the Orioles' bullpen. The move means the veteran southpaw will be out at least through the All-Star break. Josh Walker was recalled from Triple-A Norfolk in a corresponding move.

Akin will serve as the opener ahead of Chris Bassitt for Friday's game against the Tigers, Jake Rill of MLB.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Akin opened ahead of Bassitt on May 10 against the Athletics and pitched one inning, recording a pair of strikeouts. The left-hander has produced an unsightly 13.50 ERA, 1.96 WHIP and 8:2 K:BB across 8.2 innings with the big-league club this season.

Akin will start Sunday's game against the Athletics, Jacob Calvin Meyer of The Baltimore Sun reports.

EDGE Analysis

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.

The Orioles reinstated Akin (groin) from the injured list Saturday.

EDGE Analysis

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.
