Manager Brandon Hyde said Saturday that O'Neill is dealing with an illness, Matt Weyrich of The Baltimore Sun reports.
EDGE Analysis

O'Neill signed a three-year, $49.5 million contract with the Orioles on Saturday, Jon Heyman of the New York Post reports.
EDGE Analysis
O'Neill enjoyed a resurgent campaign after moving to Boston in 2024, slashing .241/.336/.511 with 31 home runs and 61 RBI across 473 regular-season plate appearances. Much of the 29-year-old's success came versus southpaws, against whom he posted a 1.179 OPS in 156 trips to the plate. Now in Baltimore, O'Neill could slot in primarily at DH given his limited range and injury history while occasionally taking over in the corner outfield for Colton Cowser or Heston Kjerstad against left-handed starters.

O'Neill is out of the Red Sox's lineup Sunday against the Rays, Christopher Smith of MassLive.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
The Red Sox will start Jarren Duran, Ceddanne Rafaela and Wilyer Abreu in the outfield for the regular-season finale. O'Neill battled multiple injuries this season, and unless he pinch hits Sunday, he'll end his first year in Boston with a slash line of .241/.336/.511 with 31 home runs and 61 RBI across 473 plate appearances.

O'Neill is not in the lineup for Friday's game against the Rays, Chris Cotillo of MassLive.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
O'Neill has been in and out of the lineup lately, making just two starts over the last six contests. He missed the first two of those tilts with a back injury, although it's not clear whether the back is a factor in his two other absences. Jarren Duran is in left field for the Red Sox on Friday.

O'Neill is absent from the lineup in Tuesday's game versus the Blue Jays, Jen McCaffrey of The Athletic reports.
EDGE Analysis
O'Neill returned to the lineup Monday at designated hitter after missing both ends of Sunday's doubleheader with a back issue. It's not clear whether it's his back that's keeping him out of Tuesday's lineup. Jarren Duran and Wilyer Abreu will be in the corner outfield spots for the Red Sox.

O'Neill (back) will start at designated hitter and bat fourth in Monday's game versus the Blue Jays.
EDGE Analysis
O'Neill sat out both ends of Sunday's doubleheader against the Twins due to a back injury, but he's feeling well enough to hit in Monday's contest. With O'Neill handling DH duties, Masataka Yoshida will receive a breather.

O'Neill (back) is out of the lineup for the second game of Sunday's doubleheader with the Twins, Mac Cerullo of the Boston Herald reports.
EDGE Analysis
The Red Sox will give O'Neill both ends of the twin bill off as he deals with what manager Alex Cora described earlier Sunday as minor back tightness. Jarren Duran will occupy O'Neill's typical spot in left field for the second game of the doubleheader.

Red Sox manager Alex Cora said prior to Sunday's doubleheader with the Twins that O'Neill is dealing with some minor back tightness, Mac Cerullo of the Boston Herald reports.
EDGE Analysis
O'Neill is not in the lineup for the first game of the twin bill, though Cora didn't rule him out for the nightcap. Consider O'Neill day-to-day for the time being.

O'Neill is not in the lineup for the first game of Sunday's doubleheader against the Twins, Mac Cerullo of the Boston Herald reports.
EDGE Analysis
O'Neill will surely be back in the lineup for the nightcap, but he will begin the first game of the twin bill on the bench. Jarren Duran is in left field and Ceddanne Rafaela is in center for the first contest.

O'Neill is out of the lineup for Saturday's game against Minnesota, Jen McCaffrey of The Athletic reports.
EDGE Analysis
O'Neill had made 17 straight starts, likely making Saturday's absence from the starting nine nothing more than an off day. O'Neill is hitless in his last 15 at-bats, but he had homered six times in nine games before the slump. Jarren Duran, Ceddanne Rafaela and Wilyer Abreu fill the outfield from left to right.
