Tyler O'Neill Placed on Injured List Due to Concussion
Baltimore Orioles outfielder Tyler O'Neill (concussion) has been placed on the 7-day concussion injured list, per Jake Rill of MLB.com. The Orioles recalled outfielder Johnathon Rodriguez from Triple-A Norfolk to take O'Neill's place on the active roster. Across 34 plate appearances this season before getting injured, O'Neill hit .241/.353/.345 with one home run, four RBI, and six runs scored. The 31-year-old is no stranger to missed time due to injury, as he's reached 500 plate appearances just once in eight MLB seasons. While O'Neill may be able to return from this current ailment relatively quickly, his extensive injury track record does include a prior history with concussions. In his absence, the righty-swinging Rodriguez could be on the short side of a platoon with left-handed hitting Orioles corner outfielders Colton Cowser and Dylan Beavers.
