EDGE Analysis

O'Neill had a setback during his rehab assignment and hasn't played for the big club since May 16. He hit .324 with one home run and 12 strikeouts during 12 rehab games and is slashing .188/.280/.325 with two home runs and two steals in 24 games for the Orioles.

The Orioles are expected to activate O'Neill (shoulder) from the injured list Friday, Andy Kostka of TheBaltimoreBanner.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

A left shoulder impingement forced O'Neill onto the injured list in mid-May, and his rehab was extended slightly after he suffered a setback in June. During his 10-game rehab assignment, the 30-year-old outfielder went 10-for-31 (.323) with a home run, two RBI and four runs scored. He'll likely take over as Baltimore's primary DH upon returning and aim to carry momentum over from his time in the minors, as he posted just a .605 OPS over his first 24 games as an Oriole before getting hurt.

O'Neill (shoulder) will continue his rehab assignment at Triple-A Norfolk on Monday, and he could be reinstated from the 10-day injured list at some point during the Orioles' current road trip, which ends Sunday, Roch Kubatko of MASNSports.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

O'Neill is making steady progress in his recovery from a lingering left shoulder injury after he sustained a setback in early June. Assuming all goes well with Norfolk, O'Neill should be back with the Orioles sometime this week. Since starting back up his rehab assignment June 22, O'Neill is 4-for-18 (.222) with a home run and nine strikeouts across six games.

O'Neill (shoulder) had his minor-league rehab assignment moved to Double-A Chesapeake on Tuesday, Roch Kubatko of MASNSports.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

O'Neill began a rehab assignment with Triple-A Norfolk on June 7 before being shut down with renewed soreness in his left shoulder. The outfielder resumed playing with High-A Aberdeen on Sunday, going 1-for-3 with two strikeouts. He has now reported to Chesapeake for the next step in his recovery from a left shoulder impingement, and O'Neill will likely head to Triple-A in the coming days for his final destination before potentially returning to the major-league roster. O'Neill has been out since May 18, having posted a disappointing .188 average with two home runs, 10 RBI, nine runs scored and two stolen bases over 80 at-bats in 24 games with the Orioles before going down with the injury.

Orioles interim manager Tony Mansolino indicated before Sunday's game that O'Neill (shoulder) was ready to resume his rehab assignment with High-A Aberdeen, Matt Weyrich of The Baltimore Sun reports.

EDGE Analysis

After being placed on the injured list May 18 due to a left shoulder impingement, O'Neill kicked off a rehab assignment June 7 with Triple-A Norfolk. However, after playing just three games, O'Neill experienced renewed soreness in his shoulder and was pulled off the assignment. The 30-year-old received an injection in the AC joint of his shoulder which appears to have eliminated the discomfort, and O'Neill is now ready to test himself in a game setting again. He might need more than a handful of games in the minors to get his timing back at the plate before the Orioles activate him from the IL.

Orioles manager Tony Mansolino said Friday that O'Neill (shoulder) could embark on a rehab assignment Tuesday, if not sooner, Roch Kubatko of MASNSports.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

O'Neill was shut down from all baseball activities after receiving an injection in his left shoulder this past Saturday. The extra time off appears to have done the trick, as the veteran outfielder is on the cusp of resuming his rehab assignment with Triple-A Norfolk. O'Neill has been limited to just 24 major-league games this season due to injury and has a .188/.280/.325 slash line with two steals, three doubles, two home runs and 10 RBI in 93 plate appearances.

EDGE Analysis

O'Neill was pulled off his rehab assignment this week after reporting renewed soreness in his shoulder, which has kept him on the injured list since mid-May. The veteran outfielder appeared close to making his return to the Orioles, but it's now unclear how much longer he's expected to be sidelined. His status should be updated at the end of the rest period.

O'Neill is sitting out a second straight rehab game during his rehab assignment with Triple-A Norfolk on Thursday due to renewed left shoulder soreness, Roch Kubatko of MASNSports.comreports.

EDGE Analysis

O'Neill went 4-for-10 at the plate in his first three rehab contests, starting at designated hitter in the first game and in right field for the next two. However, the left shoulder impingement that sent him to the 10-day injured list nearly a month ago is evidently still giving him problems. O'Neill is expected to receive "a few days rest," per Kubatko, so the Orioles seem to think he's not dealing with a significant setback. However, O'Neill no longer looks to be a candidate to be activated from the injured list for this weekend's series versus the Angels.

O'Neill (shoulder) will start a rehab assignment with Triple-A Norfolk on Saturday, Andy Kostka of TheBaltimoreBanner.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

O'Neill is in the final stages of his recovery from a left shoulder impingement that caused him to land on the injured list May 16. He may need only a couple of rehab outings before rejoining the Orioles, though it will depend on how his shoulder reacts to increased activity. O'Neill has two separate stints on the IL this season and a .188/.280/.325 slash line with two home runs and 10 RBI across 93 plate appearances.

EDGE Analysis

O'Neill is with the Orioles in Seattle for their current series against the Mariners, and he's almost ready to take the final step in his recovery from a left shoulder impingement. Barring any setbacks, the veteran slugger should be able to rejoin Baltimore's outfield at some point during the middle of June. Despite slashing just .188/.280/.325 with two home runs, three doubles and 10 RBI across 93 plate appearances, O'Neill figures to play just about every day either as a corner outfielder or designated hitter once he's activated from the injured list.
