Luis Robert Jr. Placed on 10-Day Injured List by Orioles

The Baltimore Orioles have announced that outfielder Luis Robert Jr. will be placed on the 10-day injured list due to discomfort in his left hamstring, effective retroactively from September 5. To fill his roster spot, the team has recalled right-hander Anthony Nunez from Triple-A Norfolk.

This injury adds to the Orioles' struggles as they currently face a five-game losing streak and are three games behind a Wild Card spot. Robert, who was acquired from the Mets on August 31, has played three games for Baltimore, achieving two hits, including a home run, but the team has not secured a win during his time on the field.

Robert's performance this season has been below average, with a batting line of .221/.300/.407 and 11 home runs in 230 plate appearances. He is eligible to return on September 15, but the severity of his injury may affect his availability for the remainder of the season. The Orioles are also considering the financial implications of Robert's contract, which includes a $20 million salary this year and a potential buyout option for 2027.
