Wieters accepted the Orioles' qualifying offer on Friday, CBS Sports' Jon Heyman reports.
EDGE Analysis
This is something of a surprise, given how few players accept qualifying offers, but Wieters is a unique case. After an injury plagued 2015, he has a chance to re-establish his value on a one year deal with Baltimore, before potentially cashing in next offseason. He has 20-plus homer potential in 2016, and his .258 career batting average is pretty good estimation of what he'll post next year. Wieters should also hit in an advantageous spot in the Orioles' lineup after the presumed departure of Chris Davis in free agency.

Wieters was given a qualifying offer by the Orioles on Friday.
EDGE Analysis
Recovering from Tommy John surgery, Wieters' campaign didn't get underway until June, and he was limited to just 55 games behind the plate as a result. He still put up solid numbers at the plate, slashing .267/.319/.422 with eight home runs in just 75 games, but his ability to return as a full-time catcher in 2016 could impact any potential offers.

Wieters is out of the lineup Sunday against the Red Sox, Rich Dubroff of CSN Mid-Atlantic reports.
EDGE Analysis
Wieters will sit for the second time in three days, as the Orioles can afford to rest their star catcher with the team eliminated from postseason contention. Though he hasn't had the impact expected since returning from Tommy John surgery in early June with seven homers and a .291 average in 70 games, Wieters could be a worthy target at a discount in 2016 fantasy drafts.

Wieters went 2-for-4 with a homer, two RBI and two runs scored in a win over Washington on Thursday.
EDGE Analysis
The home run gave the Orioles a late lead and they were able to hold on with their stingy bullpen. it's been a disappointing season fo Wieters, as he has split a lot of time with Caleb Joseph and failed to give fantasy owners the power they were expecting. He now has seven homers and 21 RBI in 69 games played this season.
