Baltimore has promoted right-handed pitcher Brandon Young from their Triple-A Norfolk team to take the mound for Monday’s series opener against the Chicago White Sox.
The Orioles made space on their roster by placing left-handed reliever Dietrich Enns on the 15-day injured list due to a foot infection, with the move backdated to Saturday.
A starting pitcher position became available after Zach Eflin was placed on the 15-day injured list last week with right elbow discomfort. Eflin exited his March 31 start against the Texas Rangers during the fourth inning and is currently consulting with additional medical specialists.
Young earned recognition as the Orioles’ 2024 Minor League Pitcher of the Year and appeared in 12 major league starts during 2025, posting a 1-7 record with a 6.24 ERA. His most memorable performance came on July 8 when he achieved an immaculate inning versus the New York Mets, striking out three consecutive batters using just nine pitches during the fifth inning.
In his most recent Triple-A appearance, Young pitched five innings against Memphis on April 1, surrendering one earned run on five hits while recording four strikeouts without issuing any walks.
Young has not previously pitched against the White Sox during his professional career.
