Carlson elected free agency Thursday, Roch Kubatko of MASNSports.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
Carlson cleared waivers and opted for free agency rather than being assigned to Triple-A Norfolk. He struggled across 241 big-league plate appearances in 2025, hitting only .203/.278/.336.

Carlson went 2-for-4 with a double and a run scored in Tuesday's 8-7 win over the White Sox.
EDGE Analysis
The double was Carlson's first extra-base hit in the month of September, and the multi-hit game was his first since Aug. 16 in Houston. Despite having plenty of opportunities to seize a more significant role in the Orioles' outfield -- Ramon Laureano, Ryan O'Hearn and Cedric Mullins were all traded away back in July -- Carlson has struggled to find his footing in Baltimore throughout 2025. Since the start of August, Carlson is slashing .186/.293/.337 with two home runs and five RBI over his last 99 plate appearances (30 games) en route to posting a putrid .622 OPS for the year.

Carlson is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Astros.
EDGE Analysis
Carlson is out of the lineup for the third game in a row and looks to have moved into a reserve role while Jeremiah Jackson and Dylan Beavers get long looks. Though Carlson had begun to show signs of life at the plate, going 9-for-27 (.333 average) with two home runs and a 5:8 BB:K in his last nine games, he's slashing just .206/.262/.344 over 195 plate appearances for Baltimore this season.

Carlson is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Astros.
EDGE Analysis
Carlson will head to the bench after starting five straight games and going 7-for-16 with two home runs, one triple, three walks, four RBI and four runs. With Colton Cowser (concussion) returning from the injured list Sunday and Dylan Beavers likely to get an extended audition as an everyday player, Carlson could find himself back in a bench role when Tyler O'Neill (wrist) comes off the IL.

Carlson went 2-for-4 with a two-run homer in Friday's 7-0 win over the Astros.
EDGE Analysis
The outfielder extended Baltimore's lead with a 330-foot shot into the Crawford Boxes off Shawn Dubin in the eighth inning, his first home run since June 12 and first extra-base hit since June 22. During the prolonged 31-game homer drought, Carlson went just 13-for-88 with three RBI and five runs scored, struggling to make consistent hard contact. Friday's performance not only snapped the homerless stretch but also marked his second multi-hit effort in his last three games, offering a glimpse of improved form at the plate. On the season, the 26-year-old is slashing .200/.249/.315 with five home runs, 17 RBI and 13 runs scored across 61 games

Carlson is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Athletics.
EDGE Analysis
With Baltimore having moved three outfielders at the trade deadline before placing two more -- Colton Cowser (concussion) and Tyler O'Neill (wrist) -- on the injured list, Carlson's standing as a regular in the outfield appears relatively secure. That said, the 26-year-old has done little with his extended run in the lineup, as he went 0-for-31 with no runs or RBI over the past 10 games. While Carlson gets a breather, Greg Allen, Jordyn Adams and Jeremiah Jackson will start from left to right Sunday.

Carlson will start in center field and bat seventh in Sunday's game against the Cubs.
EDGE Analysis
The 26-year-old switch hitter will pick up his fourth straight start and looks like he'll be in line for a near-everyday role after the Orioles shipped out Cedric Mullins, Ramon Laureano and Ryan O'Hearn at the trade deadline. Carlson has yet to get going at the plate since being recalled from Triple-A Norfolk on July 22, going 2-for-21 with a 1:5 BB:K in nine games.

The Orioles recalled Carlson from Triple-A Norfolk on Tuesday, Matt Weyrich of The Baltimore Sun reports.
EDGE Analysis
Carlson's promotion comes as Luis Vazquez was optioned to Norfolk prior to Tuesday's game. Carlson was demoted July 3 and has gone 8-for-27 with two home runs and six walks across seven games with the Tides. However, he has not managed an OPS over .696 in the majors since his career-high .780 OPS in 2021.

The Orioles optioned Carlson to Triple-A Norfolk on Thursday, Matt Weyrich of The Baltimore Sun reports.
EDGE Analysis
His roster spot will be filled by Tyler O'Neill (shoulder), who is slated to come off the 10-day injured list prior to Friday's game in Atlanta. Carlson has a .650 OPS with four homers in 118 plate appearances across his multiple stints with the Orioles in 2025.

The Orioles recalled Carlson from Triple-A Norfolk on Tuesday.
EDGE Analysis
The veteran outfielder was demoted over the weekend but will quickly return to the big leagues with Emmanuel Rivera getting designated for assignment. Carlson should serve as Baltimore's No. 4 outfielder, though he may not stick in the majors long since Tyler O'Neill (shoulder) is nearing his return from the injured list.
