Orioles Put Ryan Helsley on Bereavement List on Wednesday
The Baltimore Orioles announced on Wednesday that they placed right-handed closer Ryan Helsley on the bereavement/family medical emergency list and recalled right-hander Jose Espada from Triple-A Norfolk in a corresponding move. Helsley could be away from Baltimore for three to seven days. It's unclear what direction the O's will go in the ninth inning while Helsley is away, but Yennier Cano and Rico Garcia figure to be the two most likely options to receive save chances in the short term in Baltimore. The 31-year-old Helsley had 21 saves with the St. Louis last year before falling apart in New York in the second half after being acquired by the Mets in a trade. So far in 2026 with the Orioles, Helsley has bounced back as their closer, posting a 2.79 ERA, 1.45 WHIP, and 15:7 K:BB while converting all six of his saves. Most fantasy managers can avoid Baltimore's bullpen in the short term until Helsley returns.
